Norcryl Solid Acrylic Bonding Tape (Discontinued)



General Information
***Discontinued by Saint-Gobain*** A1040 is a 40 mil solid acrylic core that provides a very high bond that can reduce or replace conventional fasteners, rivets, liquid adhesives and welds. The Norcryl solid acrylic core has outstanding internal strength. Norcryl structural grade bonding power can save time, increase productivity, reduce costs and improve overall product appearance. Norcryl is resistant to Ultraviolet radiation, high humidity and climate extremes. A 3-year aging study showed that its adhesion strength actually increases with time. Norcryl maintains a strong bond in high temperatures. Over time Norcryl will not harden or become brittle. Norcryl A-1000 series is water clear and virtually invisible after installation. Conventional attachment methods cause localized distortions and stresses as the temperature fluctuates. An example of this includes dimples found on riveted trailer side skins. Norcryl tapes minimize these stress points by distributing stresses evenly across the entire tape contact area and compensating for thermal expansion. This provides a uniform appearance and improves fatigue resistance. Norcryl also acts as a joint seal, reduces noise, dampens vibrations and prevents galvanic corrosion when bonding dissimilar metals.

The physical properties listed are typical values and are not to be considered as specifications. Our suggestions for use are based on tests we believe to be reliable. However, the purchaser must carry out their own tests to determine the suitability of the product for their internal use. Information is given in good faith, but without warranty.

It is essential, as with all pressure-sensitive tapes, that the surface to which the tape is applied be clean, dry and free of grease and oil.

Shelf life from date of manufacture is based on the product being stored at 70°F(21°C) / 50% relative humidity out of direct sunlight.

Specification compliance is dynamic and should only be used as a general guide. Always confirm that the tape you are interested in currently complies with all specification requirements. Please verify that the product number that you select is available in the proper size and color to meet your specification.


Choose the surface energy of the exact surface that the adhesive will contact (e.g. if the part was painted metal, paint would be the surface energy).
