Adhesive tapes: the right solution for every need

Q: When should Kapton adhesive tape be used?

Le ribbon Kapton based on polyimide It is used in extreme environments such as electronics, aeronautics and space. It withstands very high temperatures, electrical voltage and aggressive chemicals, while remaining stable and residue-free.

Q: What types of tape are suitable for outdoor use?

For outdoor applications, choose fabric ribbons , vinyl , VHB or polyurethane depending on use. They offer good weather, UV and moisture resistance. It is essential to choose a tape with a weather-resistant adhesive.

What is adhesive tape?

Adhesive tape is an indispensable tool used in a multitude of sectors for assembling, fixing, insulating or protecting surfaces. Made from a flexible backing (paper, plastic film, foam, etc.) coated with a pressure-sensitive adhesive, it can be used in a variety of applications: industrial, construction, logistics or even medical.

There are many variations:

Double sided adhesive tapes for assembly without nails or screws.
Cloth tape ultra-resistant for heavy repairs.
Adhesive packaging tapese to secure parcels.
Technical tapes (insulation, masking, high-temperature, etc.) for specialist uses.

Advantages of adhesive tapes

Choosing the right tape has a number of benefits:

Versatility of use fixing, protection and repair.

Time saving Quick and easy application, no tools required.

Mechanical resistance Excellent resistance to extreme conditions (temperature, humidity, friction).

Aesthetics : neat finish with no visible marks.

Cost reduction A cost-effective alternative to drilling, screwing or welding.

Typical applications for adhesive tapes

Industrial sector

In the automotive, aerospace and electronics industries, tapes are used to assemble, seal or thermally protect components.
Le double-sided adhesive tape is preferred for assemblies discreet and resistant.

Building sector

Used for thermal insulation, sealing windows or protecting surfaces during work, tapes (fabric, aluminium, PVC) are essential on modern building sites.

Logistics and packaging

Packaging tapes increase the security of shipments by effectively sealing cartons, even on heavy pallets.

Medical and pharmaceutical

Some specific tapes are designed to meet medical standards: dressings, fastening of medical devices or sensors.

FAQ - Adhesive tapes

What is adhesive tape?

Adhesive tape is a flexible strip coated on one or both sides with an adhesive. It can be used to stick, fix, protect or seal surfaces. There are many types of tape: cloth, double-sided, Kaptonpolyester, VHB, vinyl, etc.

What is the difference between cloth tape and polyester tape?

Le cloth tape is reinforced with a fabric, ideal for repairs and outdoor applications. The polyester tapeThis thinner, dimensionally stable material is often used in electronics or chemical environments thanks to its high thermal and chemical resistance.

What is double-sided adhesive tape used for?

Double-sided adhesive tape can be used to attach two surfaces together discreetly, without the need for screws or nails. It is used for mounting, displaying, decorating or assembling flat parts in industry and construction.

When should Kapton adhesive tape be used?

Le ribbon Kaptonbased on polyimideIt is used in extreme environments such as electronics, aeronautics and space. It withstands very high temperatures, electrical voltage and aggressive chemicals, while remaining stable and residue-free.

Can VHB tape replace a mechanical fastener?

Yes, the ribbon VHB (Very High Bond) can replace rivets or welds in many industrial applications. It provides a structural bond that is highly resistant to vibration, UV, humidity and thermal variations.

What types of tape are suitable for outdoor use?

For outdoor applications, choose fabric ribbons, vinyl, VHB or polyurethanedepending on use. They offer good weather, UV and moisture resistance. It is essential to choose a tape with a weather-resistant adhesive.
