How does the density of the foam impact its performance?


The high foam density of 720kg/m³ ensures strong adhesion and stability, providing reliable performance in both static and dynamic applications. This density enhances the durability of bondings, reducing the risk of failure under stress.

What is the best way to prepare surfaces before application?


For optimal adhesion, surfaces should be cleaned of dust, grease and other contaminants. Using a suitable solvent for cleaning is recommended to ensure the adhesive can bond effectively.

Can this tape be used outdoors?


While it is primarily designed for indoor applications, its resistance to high temperatures may allow for limited outdoor use. However, prolonged exposure to UV light may affect its adhesive properties.

What factors should be considered when using this tape in automation projects?


Consider the environmental conditions such as temperature and humidity, as these can influence the effectiveness of the adhesive bond. Ensuring clean and compatible surfaces will also enhance performance in automated environments.
