Bond rubber tapes

Product Description:BFD Double Coated Tapes 3531 has a firm, silicone pressure sensitive adhesive coated on one side of a polyester film carrier and a high performance acrylic
adhesive coated on the other side of the carrier.
Features:
• Silicone adhesive provides good bond to silicone rubber, strong holding power to various silicone surfaces, good temperature performance and good solvent resistance.
• BFD adhesive has very high adhesion to a wide variety of materials,excellent shear holding power, high temperature resistance and excellent UV resistance.
• A thin polyester carrier provides dimensional stability and improved handling with ease of die cutting and lamination compared to adhesive transfer tapes.
Application Techniques:Bond strength is dependent upon the amount of adhesive-to-surface contact developed. Firm application pressure helps develop better adhesive contact and improves bond strength.To obtain optimum adhesion, the bonding surfaces must be clean, dry and well unified. Some typical surface cleaning solvents are isopropyl 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.
Application Ideas:Applications where bonding silicone rubber to high surface energy materials is necessary.
