Double Coated Polyethylene

Foam Tape 9546

Application Techniques

1. Bond strength is

dependent upon the

amount of adhesive -to-

surface contact developed.

Firm application pressure

develops better adhesive

contact & thus improves

bond strength.

2. To obtain optimum

adhesion, the bonding

surfaces must be clean dry

and well unified. A typical

surface cleaning solvent is

isopropyl alcohol. Use

proper safety precautions

for handling solvents.

3. Ideal tape application

temperature range is 21°C

to 38°C (70°F to 100°F).

Initial tape application to

surfaces at temperatures

below 10°C (50°F) is not

recommended because the

adhesive becomes too firm

to adhere readily. However

once properly applied low

temperature holding is

generally satisfactory.
