Benefits
Designed for High-Temperature Manufacturing
Ideal for components that undergo powder coating or liquid paint curing after tape application.
Permanent Structural Bonding
Replaces screws, rivets, spot welding, and liquid adhesives while delivering clean, invisible bond lines.
Excellent Multi-Material Bonding
Bonds a wide variety of high- and medium-surface-energy materials including aluminum, stainless steel, ABS, PMMA, and painted metals.
Outstanding Environmental Durability
Maintains reliable bonding performance under UV exposure, humidity, thermal cycling, and outdoor weather conditions.
Shock & Vibration Absorption
The viscoelastic acrylic foam distributes stress evenly while reducing vibration and impact loads.
Waterproof Sealing
Closed-cell acrylic foam provides an effective seal against water, dust, and environmental contaminants.
