Adhesive film for industrial bonding applications

Here the term leads to transfer adhesive tapes. In a carrierless transfer product, the adhesive layer itself forms the film, while a release liner aids storage and processing. The catalogue category does not replace a check of the individual product. Read its product data to see whether a carrier is specified, which adhesive is used and how the liner is constructed. Only then can you assess the film in relation to the two parts you intend to join.

Pressure-sensitive transfer tapes are applied through contact, wetting and pressure. A heat-activated film instead requires the activation conditions specified for that particular product. The names alone do not tell you how strong the bond will be or whether the material suits your process. Clarify whether heat is intended during assembly, which surfaces will be joined and what loads will act on the finished bond. The separate heat-activated film category covers that selection question.

Tell us about both parts, their surfaces, the required bonding area and the loads in use. Positioning, application pressure and the required release liner are also relevant to processing. Add whether you need a roll, a cut piece or die-cut parts, along with the desired shape. Krückemeyer GmbH can then assess the material and the feasibility of converting it. A material name or one peel adhesion value alone is insufficient to establish the performance of the finished bond.
