Specialty Tapes

For specialty tapes in automotive, construction, and medical industries, advanced adhesives are required that offer strong bonding capabilities to various surfaces, ensuring reliability and durability in challenging environments. These adhesives should possess excellent temperature resistance, chemical resistance and weatherability to withstand extreme conditions. They must also meet specific industry standards and regulations, such as medical-grade certifications for the medical sector.
