APPLICATION TECHNIQUES:

Bond strength is dependent upon the amount of adhesive-to-surface contact developed. Firm application pressure helps develop better adhesive contact and improve bond strength.
To obtain optimum adhesion, the bonding surfaces must be clean, dry and well unified. Typical surface cleaning solvents are isopropyl alcohol and water (rubbing alcohol) or heptane.*
Ideal tape application temperature range is 70°F to 100°F (21°C to 38°C). Initial tape application to surfaces at temperatures below 50°F (10°C) is not recommended because the adhesive becomes too firm to adhere readily. However, once properly applied, low temperature holding is generally satisfactory.

*Be sure to follow manufacturer's safety precautions and directions for use when using solvents.

APPLICATION IDEAS:

Splicing and core starting of papers, foils, films, fabrics etc.
Mounting rubber or photopolymer printing plates to print cylinders.
Attaching of golf club grips.
Temporary holding while parts are being finished in the milling process.
