An elastic, polymeric substaance, such as natural or synthetic rubber.
The extensible property of adhesive films or adhesive interfaces to contract and expand in such a manner as to overcome the differential contraction and expansion rates that the bonded adherends may exhibit.
An adhesive application to both sides of a backing.
That property of a material that relates to the constancy of its dimensions, particularly in relation to external influences such as moisture or temperature.
The measure of the maximum voltage stress that a single layer of tape can withstand before dielectric failure occurs, the test being carried out under prescribed conditions.
A separation or splitting of the tape such as the separation of the backing into two distinct layers, separation between laminations of a tape consisting of more than one backing, separation between filaments and backing of a filament-reinforced tape, or separation of the adhesive from the backing.
Developing a three-dimensional molecular structure in an adhesive normally activated by heat or irradiation. An improvement in shear resistance, high temperature resistance, and oil or solvent resistance will normally result.
The ability of an elastometric adhesive, coating, or sealer acting as an insulator to withstand the effects of high voltage discharge.
The ability of a tape to retain its original color, particularly when exposed to light.
The ability of the adhesive to resist shear stress and splitting. Good cohesion is necessary for clean removal.
Class A Die Cutting – a process using a male and femaleprecision die set, also known as "compound tooling".This type of tooling will produce the highest quality of cut with the least amount of burrs on the die cuts and the closest tolerances in the industry (+/- .001").
