Custom die-cut adhesives for special vehicles

ADDEV Materials offers 2 main types of adhesive converting services:

  • Roll cutting to size
  • Die-cutting
Roll cutting

By cutting an adhesive film into rolls of widths from 4mm to 1500mm.

Example:

An equipment manufacturer wants to join two materials using a double-sided adhesive. He knows the load that the assembly must support and therefore the required adhesive surface. He has deduced that he needs a 7mm wide roll of double-sided adhesive foam.

Unfortunately, this width is not standard and is not available on the market. This leaves him two options:

  • Make the cuts himself, which is time-consuming
  • To call upon a material converter like ADDEV Materials
