FAQ
How much pressure does an adhesive tape need?
A pressure of 1 to 1.5 kg/cm² is required for a secure bond. The pressure can be applied using a surface press or a pressure roller.
How long do adhesive tapes last?
The ageing of adhesive tapes depends on the adhesive system used and the backing material. On the other hand, the influences that can affect the adhesives used play a decisive role in the durability of your bond. Therefore, always pay attention to the information in the product description.
How can I find out whether my materials are suitable for bonding?
To get a first impression, it is always a good idea to carry out your own bonding tests. For regular quality control of the substrates (joining partners) ...
How do I find the right adhesive tape from the extensive range on the market?
To find and select the right product quality, I should answer a few questions in advance: Which materials do I want to bond? What are the weather conditions of my bond? What temperatures will my bond be exposed to? As soon as you can answer these questions, you will have a basis for selecting the right adhesive tape.
How can I remove adhesive residue?
In most cases, I can remove adhesive residue with white spirit or isopropanol.
What are the advantages of pressure-sensitive adhesives (adhesive tapes)?
Different materials can be bonded in a design-friendly way. The material is not weakened by holes or temperature. High processing reliability thanks to...
What do I need to consider in order to bond adhesive tapes safely and permanently?
Before bonding, I need to check whether my substrates (joining partners) are suitable for bonding at all. The surface structure of the substrates plays a major role here. It is also important that the substrates are not contaminated. Clean them thoroughly before the final bonding.
Why are there such big price differences between the individual products?
Differences in the structure and manufacture of the adhesive tapes result in different products, each with different performance characteristics and therefore different bonding properties, such as durability, etc. If you are not sure which product is best suited to your needs, we will be happy to help you.
Why do bathroom hooks always fall off?
We are all familiar with this problem. If the hook does not fall off after just a few hours, it will fall off in summer at the latest when temperatures are high. For a permanent bond, you need a bond that meets the requirements. So make sure that you use a product for your bathroom bonding that has both high moisture resistance and high temperature resistance.
Can I use products from the DIY store if I don't need much?
In principle, there is nothing to say against products from the DIY store. However, if I need permanent solutions for certain applications, I should use special products that meet the requirements. You will find the right selection in our range. We will also be happy to advise you on your requirements.
Are there cases in which you should never work with adhesive tape?
Yes. As a pressure-sensitive adhesive does not harden, it is not able to absorb major permanent stresses (i.e. peeling and splitting stresses). In such situations, it is therefore always advisable to first check the loads to which the joint in question is exposed. We can also provide you with personal recommendations.
