Iguna - the new adhesive tape for design engineers

The new acrylic foam tape for constructive connections from Tapir Tapes, with lizard-like properties.

In recent years, bionics has paved the way for many technical innovations, the combination of nature and technology has also inspired us as a specialist in adhesives.
The result is a construction tape with properties comparable to reptiles such as iguanas, chameleons or geckos.

Acrylate foam tape for engineers

Gluing is often regarded as the new welding these days. With its special formula, the Iguna construction tape opens the door for the joining method of the 21st century and can completely replace mechanical methods such as screwing, welding or soldering.

Iguna is one of the strongest foam tapes in the world and can be used in many areas. The all-rounder comes face to face with well-known market leaders and offers properties that surpass all mechanical joining methods.

Bonding different materials such as glass, steel, aluminium, PC made of polycarbonate, acrylic glass, ABS plastic, polyethylene PE, polypropylene PP and application on powder-coated surfaces - with Iguna it is all possible.

The common traits of Iguna and reptiles

The capabilities of different animals were used as a model for the excellent performance of the tape, serving many different applications and purposes. Here is a small summary:

Adhesive strength

Chameleons possess an extremely strong suction power in their tongues for catching prey, once hit the prey is held so strongly that it cannot escape. When applied correctly, Iguna provides a strong and long-lasting bond.

Surfaces

Iguanas can safely run, jump and fight on any kind of surface. Geckos, with their exceptional adhesive properties, can even walk upside down on glass windows. With the right preparation, Iguna adheres excellently to almost any surface.

Environment

Depending on their environment, chameleons and some iguanas can adapt to the conditions by adapting their coloration to the environment.

Weather resistance

Lizards are cold-blooded animals, their internal temperature varies depending on the ambient temperature in the environment. Iguna can be used in environments from -30 °C to +220 °C for short periods

UV resistance

Lizards can be very active in the sunshine and can regulate their temperature. Iguna has excellent UV resistance.

Age

Iguanas can live up to 80 years. Iguna is resistant to aging and suitable for long-lasting connections.

Water

Despite their robustness, iguanas are very good swimmers and are also in their element in water. It's the same for Iguna, both water and moisture resistant.

Iguna - adapted to your needs

Iguna can also meet your individual needs: customize Iguna to be a perfect match for your production process. We, as experts in structural connections, innovative products and tailor-made solutions, are happy to help!
As standard, we offer four versions for all types of applications: bonding on materials with low surface tension, applications with higher thermal requirements, as well as transparent tape or the classic version - everything is possible.
In addition, Iguana can be cut or even cut to any desired length and width for special applications Die Cuts in all kinds of shapes.

Insure your competitor economic advantage by using constructive connections as a highly efficient and cost-effective alternative. Let's optimize your processes together for even more efficiency.

The Iguna program is completed with appropriate cleaner, wipes, scissors and primer.
