Pressure Sensitive Adhesive & Tape Solutions

A secure bond is critical to ensure 100% excellent performance. The shape of the surface to be adhered to significantly impacts adhesive and tape selection and application technique.

Important Considerations

  • What is the substrate that the adhesive or tape will need to bond with?
  • What is the shape of the substrate's surface: flat, curved, ribbed, full support?
  • What conditions will the adhesive or tape need to withstand: temperature, humidity, vibration, friction, etc.
  • How will the operator handle the foam component when the adhesive is exposed?
  • Operators must always protect against contamination of the adhesive, tape, or substrate.
  • Operators must always apply significant pressure when applying the product.

Flat surfaces provide optimal adhesion with full contact area. Ensure even pressure during application.

Surface Shape Reference Guide

1. Flat

Standard flat surface with full adhesive contact.

2. Slight Curve

Gently curved surface requiring flexible adhesive.

3. Tight Radius

U-shaped surface with challenging adhesion points.

4. Tight Corner

90° angle requiring special application technique.

5. Rectangular with Mated Ends

Channel-like surface with interior adhesion.

6. Circular/Oval with Mated Ends

Rounded channel requiring flexible adhesive.

7. Partial Contact on Rib/Edge

Limited contact area requiring strong adhesive.

8. Bridging a Corner

Spanning across a corner with partial contact.
