Adhesive tape system sticks quickly
A double-coated acrylic adhesive tape system is formaldehyde-free and combines the quick-stick properties of rubber-based systems with the temperature performance of acrylics.
Mounting adhesive is clean and removable
Permanent/removable mounting adhesive provides a clean, easily removable bond for temporarily mounting foams, polycarbonates, plastics to glass and other hard surfaces.
Adchem makes several key recommendations, such as maintaining a relative humidity above 50% with water spray misters to mitigate problems for uncoated papers; minimizing slippage in the transport system where PSA tapes contact stationary or slower moving idler rollers; and, the addition of active ionizers as an effective static control mechanism.
The Static Control white paper is available on Adchem's Web site or by contacting an Adchem regional sales manager.
