Avery Dennison offers pressure-sensitive adhesive tape solutions for a variety of marine bonding applications. These products address challenging marine bonding requirements, enabling manufacturers to join, mount, attach or fasten without the use of mechanical fasteners or wet glue systems. The portfolio’s offering of adhesives is compatible for bonding with a variety of substrates, including fiberglass, metal and wood. 

The marine bonding tapes in our portfolio are durable and can withstand years of use in marine environments, including exposure to moisture, salt, chemicals and UV rays. In addition, pressure-sensitive adhesive tapes are versatile and easy to use, which in turn helps save assembly time and effort, and helps manufacturers be more productive and profitable.



Marine bonding applications where our tapes are used

Avery Dennison tapes are engineered to perform in a wide variety of marine bonding applications. Our broad portfolio of tape constructions features a variety of acrylic and rubber adhesive chemistries.

  • Decking
  • Interior mounting
  • Display mounting
  • Wire harness securement

Adhesive tape advantages for marine bonding applications


Adhesive tapes offer marine vessel manufacturers significant advantages over other bonding methods.


Ease-of-use


Tapes offer a simple “peel-and-stick/instant-bond” alternative to messy liquid adhesives (which typically require cure time) and complicated mechanical fasteners. Adhesives can be engineered for easy repositionability, reducing rework and waste on an assembly line.

Durability


Tapes are engineered to withstand exposure to UV light, moisture, high and low temperatures, and climatic extremes. They can provide consistently high performance throughout the service life of a panel, helping improve overall quality and minimizing the need for warranty issues.

Choice and customization


We offer a wide range of tape construction options depending on your application needs. If you require a unique product, our ISO-9000 laboratory can create custom tape constructions for your use case.
