Guidelines for selecting adhesive tape

Appropriate tape thickness:

• sufficient contact surface
• smoothness, roughness of the surface
• exposure to elongations

Tape sizing:

• according to mechanical loads
• thermal loads
• specific requirements

Appropriate type/colour of the tape:

• working conditions (low temperatures)
• thermal loads
• chemical loads
• specific loads
• tape colour

Validation of the adhesive joint:

• immediate tape adhesion is 50-60% of the final value (80-90% if using primer/sanding)
• the final value of the adhesive joint occurs after 48 hours (the higher the temperature, the shorter the time)
