The carrier can be coated with one of the most common types of adhesives:

• acrylate
• natural rubber
• synthetic rubber
• silicone adhesive

Note: The quality of the tapes and the duration of use are always a combination of the type of adhesive and the type of carrier. For example; an adhesive with low UV resistance can be increased with a proper carrier. These aspects are always in relation with each other.

Acrylate

Features:

• adhesive strength increases in duration of use
• resistance against high temperatures
• high UV resistance
• high ageing resistance

Natural rubber

Features:

• high adhesive power
• adhesive strength increases in duration of use
• low ageing resistance and temperature resistance
• low UV resistance (UV resistance can be increased with a proper carrier)

Synthetic rubber

Features:

• high initial adhesive power
• good adhesive power at normal conditions
• limited temperature resistance
• low UV and ageing resistance

Silicone

Features:

• high adhesive power
• excellent ageing and UV resistance
• high temperature resistance
• high flexibility
