Signage: Used extensively within the sign industry to bond metals, plastics and ACM. Its visco elastic properties make it ideal for bonding dissimilar materials with different expansion rates.
Other: Superior holding power in any application where performance critical bonding is essential.
Why Signmaker White Foam Acrylic high strength bonding tape?
Incredibly high bond strength delivers durability and longevity
Withstands:
Extremes of temperature
High forces applied to the bond
Water
Most solvents and chemicals
Differential expansion and contraction
Interior or exterior performance
Easy release siliconised filmic liner improves assembly times
High tack and good initial handling strength for improved production speeds and aesthetics
How to apply Signmake White Foam acrylic foam tape
Abrade (roughen) the surface to provide a ‘key’ to which the tape can bond. By doing so you’ll increase the bond strength by as much as 35%
Clean with Surface Cleaner
Prime the surface. Independent tests at Loughborough University show that using the correct primer can increase final bond strength by up to 50%.
With firm pressure, apply Signmaker White Foam Acrylic Tape to one of the surfaces to be bonded. Using a roller will allows the high strength bonding tape to wet out and reach ultimate bond strength more quickly.
Remove liner, align the parts to be bonded, and join.
Apply firm pressure to the bond with the roller.
Ultimate bond strength will be achieved in 72 hours.
