Common Applications

• Assembly
  • Anti-Slip Material - Used as shelf footers to hold in place through friction.
  • Decorative Backing - Mirrored, colored, or decorated magnetic backed or adhesive film used to improve aesthetics.
  • Foamed Acrylics - Used for permanent attachment of handles, rails, and components.
  • High Bond Double Coated Tapes - Permanent attachment of nameplates and control panel covers.
  • Silicone Masking - Used for masking surfaces during powder-coated painting.
  • Vapor Barrier - Metalized PET and Foil tapes customized to desired permeability to prevent vapor transmission.
• Foam-In-Place
  • Air/Gas Venting Tape - Permeable foams, tapes, and fabrics for holding foam in while allowing outgassing.
  • Creped Masking - Used for holding edge trim in place and general masking during foam-in-place process.
  • Double Coated Tissue Tape - Secures EPS spacer blocks during foaming process.
  • Foil Tapes - Permanently seams joints to seal in foam-in-place or protect coils and components - can also be used for heat reflection.
  • PET and PVC Film Tapes - Perfect for hole covering during the foam-in-place process.
• Gasketing
  • EPDM or Neoprene Extrusions - Material for more critical or environmentally exposed gaskets or profile extrusions.
  • PVC Foam - Used to create gaskets to protect against air, dust, and moisture.
  • Silicone Rubber Sponge and Foam - Used to create electrical and thermal insulation gaskets around light ballast, heater, and electrical components.
  • Sound Damping - Absorbing foams and barriers used to cover motor and compressor casings.
  • Vinyl/Nitrile Foam - Ideal for creating gaskets that are exposed to the higher temperatures of foaming molds.
• Transport
  • Filament and Tensilized Polypropylene Strapping Tape - Used for bundling, wrapping, and securing doors, shelves, parts, and boxes during the packaging, transportation, and installation process.
  • Protective Spacing Pads - Used to protect glass shelves and panels during storage and movement.
  • Surface Protection Films - Often applied at upstream extruders and other suppliers - used to protect finished surfaces during assembly, transportation, and installation processes.
