Tape Technologies: PSA Constructions

The various PSA tape components are combined and supplied in the following basic constructions:

Transfer Tape

A film of unsupported adhesive is coated directly onto a siliconized  release liner. The release liner is coated with silicone on both sides to ensure that the tape unwinds easily and can be laminated to various substrates.

Double linered transfer tape constructions may be offered.

  • Offers superior conformability

  • Ideal for nameplate mounting and foam bonding
