Double Coated Tissue Tape — Application and Handling
Surfaces must be free of dust, grease, oil and water. Use isopropyl alcohol as cleaner on both surfaces. Bond strength depends on surface area in direct contact with the tape. Apply firm pressure for a proper bond.
How to apply BiTape 0960B double coated tissue tape
- Clean both substrates. Surfaces must be free of dust, grease, oil and water. Wipe both bonding faces with isopropyl alcohol and a lint-free cloth. Allow to dry completely.
- Cut the tape to length. Measure the bonding line. Cut the tissue tape with scissors, utility knife or die-cutter. The thin tissue carrier (0.09 mm) is easy to slit and die-cut to custom shapes for labeling and nameplate applications.
- Apply to the first substrate. Peel the white PE-coated paper liner from one side. Position the tape and press firmly along the entire run, ensuring uniform contact with the substrate.
- Bond the second substrate. Peel the remaining liner. Align the second substrate and press firmly. Bond strength depends on surface area in direct contact — cover the entire overlap.
- Allow shear curing time. Initial tack ≥1.25 kg/25 mm (FINAT 9) is achieved immediately. Shear strength ≥24 h under 1.0 kg load (FINAT 8) develops after 24 hours at room temperature. For low surface energy substrates (PE, PP) or rubber, this product is not recommended
BiTape 0960B is available as double coated tissue tape, thin double coated tape and paper tissue tape formats. Request custom widths, die-cuts or master rolls for paper bonding, nameplate fastening and printing industry applications.
