Installation Guide
1. Prepare the Surface
Ensure that the bonding surfaces are clean, dry, and free from dust, oil, grease, and other contaminants.
2. Check Material Compatibility
Test the tape on the actual substrates before production use. Special attention should be given to rough surfaces, low-surface-energy plastics, plasticized materials, and coated substrates.
3. Cut the Tape
Cut the tape to the required length or use a customized die-cut shape where appropriate.
4. Apply the Tape
Apply the tape evenly to one substrate and use sufficient pressure to ensure close contact.
5. Remove the Liner
Remove the brown paper liner carefully without contaminating the exposed adhesive.
6. Bond the Materials
Align the second substrate accurately and apply firm, uniform pressure across the bonding area.
7. Allow Bond Development
Allow sufficient time for adhesion to develop before applying significant loads. The required bonding time depends on the substrates, temperature, pressure, and application conditions.
Important Notes
- Test the tape before full-scale production.
- Avoid touching the adhesive surface.
- Ensure the bonding surfaces are compatible.
- Do not assume short-term temperature resistance represents continuous operating temperature.
- For critical applications, conduct peel, shear, ageing, and environmental testing.
Storage
For optimal performance:
- Store the tape in its original packaging.
- Keep the material in a clean and dry environment.
- Protect the tape from direct sunlight.
- Avoid excessive heat and humidity.
- Prevent dust and contamination.
- Store rolls in a manner that avoids deformation or edge damage.
- Follow the latest manufacturer storage recommendations and shelf-life information.
Storage conditions may affect adhesive performance and product usability.
