Application Techniques

Bond strength is dependent upon the amount of adhesive-to-surface contact. Firm

application pressure helps ensure better adhesive contact and improve bond strength.

To obtain optimum adhesion, the bonding surfaces must be clean, dry, and uniform.

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.

*Note: When using solvents, extinguish all ignition sources, including pilot lights,

and follow the manufacturer’s precautions and directions for use.
