VELCROM Adhesive tapes manufacturing process includes different types of adhesives
Natural Rubber (solvent based)
Adhesive made up of a mixture of natural rubber (rubber), hydrocarbon and natural resins, as well as several different additives, which are dissolved in hydrocarbon solvents and then completely removed in the coating phase.
Hotmelt (synthetic rubber)
Adhesive consisting of a mixture of synthetic thermoplastic gums, hydrocarbon and natural resins with the addition of various additives; obtained hot and cooled after application to the spreading medium.
Acrylic (water based)
Water based adhesives are based on polymers, usually acrylic, dispersed / emulsified in water, as suitable. During the spreading phase the water is evaporated. Resistant to heat, resistant to solvents and aging. Less resistant to moisture.
Acrylic (solvent base)
Adhesive made up of acrylic resins in solvent solution. During the coating phase, the solvent is evaporated. Excellent resistance to heat, good adhesion, excellent resistance to aging and moisture. Suitable for external applications
Formulated Adhesives
Adhesive consisting of a mixture of synthetic thermoplastic gums, hydrocarbon and natural resins with the addition of various additives; obtained hot and cooled after application to the spreading medium.
Our division of adhesive tapes manufacturing use multiple types of backings
- Surface Protection Tape (Printed / Non-Printed)
- Bopp Tape (Plain / Coloured / Printed)
- Aluminium Foil / Fsk Tape
- Saturated Kraft Paper /Glossay Paper Tape
- Ldpe / Hdpe Tape
- Foam Tape (Single/Double Sided)
- Duct / Fabrics Tape / Glasswool Tape
- Non-Wovens/ Mesh / Glass Fibre Tape
- Masking Tape / Lamination Tape
- Tissue Tape (Tearable / Non-Tearable)
- Glossy Paper Printed Tape / Kraft Paper Tape (White / Brown)
- High Adhesive Oem Tapes (Plain – Printed)
(N.B.: The additives used are mainly pigments, stabilizers and inert. There are, in any case, other series of adhesives that, using the various components mentioned above or other types of polymers, may be applied with different methodologies and solvents. These are mainly used in self-adhesive tapes for specific applications).
