Reliable adhesion starts with a clean surface
Strong adhesion always begins with proper surface preparation. Dirt, dust, oil and moisture can reduce bonding performance and may cause connections to fail.
Using the right cleaning products, such as isopropyl alcohol (IPA) and primers, helps maximise the performance of your tape or adhesive application.
Frequently asked questions
Which tools do I need for tape application?
This depends on the type of tape being used. Pressure rollers are essential for foam tapes, while a squeegee is often sufficient for thin film tapes and flat backing materials.
Are application tools reusable?
Yes. Most tools are designed for repeated use. Regular cleaning and proper maintenance will help extend their service life.
How important is surface preparation?
Surface preparation is critical. Dirt, dust, oil and moisture reduce adhesion. By using the right cleaning products and primers, you can achieve the best possible bond.
Are these tools suitable for industrial environments?
Yes. Our range is designed for demanding industrial applications and is suitable for environments involving heat and exposure to chemicals.
