DOUBLE-SIDED ADHESIVES

Double-sided adhesives are tapes coated with adhesive on both sides, designed to quickly, cleanly, and durably bond two surfaces without the need for screws, nails, or liquid glues. Commonly used in industrial applications, they provide a practical solution for invisible joints, precise assemblies, and applications that require reliability and simplicity. Thanks to the various types available, double-sided tapes can adapt to multiple materials and conditions of use, ensuring durable and professional results. What are the types of double-sided adhesives based on the adhesive type? Acrylic (includes acrylic foams): Medium tack, high temperature resistance, resistant to UV rays and chemical agents. Modified acrylic: Medium tack, high temperature resistance, resistant to UV rays and chemical agents. Rubber-based: High tack, lower temperature resistance,

RUBBER-BASED MIXTURES

When it comes to seals, the elastomer material is crucial because it determines sealing performance, durability, and compatibility with the working environment. Compounds are chosen based on temperature, fluids, chemical agents, and mechanical conditions. The main rubber-based compounds are: EPDM (Ethylene-Propylene-Diene): It is one of the most commonly used rubbers for seals, especially in civil and industrial applications. It is highly valued for its excellent resistance to aging, ozone, weathering, and UV radiation. Chemically, it performs very well with water, steam, saline solutions, detergents, and coolants. Its weak point is its poor resistance to oils, greases, and hydrocarbons. NBR (Nitrile Rubber): This is one of the most widely used rubbers for sealing applications in contact with oils and fuels. It

TECHNOPOLYMERS

Technopolymers are high-performance plastic materials developed for technical and industrial applications where “common” plastics would not be sufficient. Compared to traditional polymers, technopolymers offer better mechanical, thermal, and chemical properties, greater dimensional stability, and often long-term durability. TPE (Thermoplastic Elastomers): It is a polymeric material that combines the properties of rubber (elasticity) with those of thermoplastics. Its behavior is similar to that of elastic rubber, but it can be melted and molded, allowing manufacturing processes such as injection molding, extrusion, or blow molding. It has good thermal resistance, chemical resistance, and excellent surface energy. PU (Polyurethanes): It is a versatile polymer formulated in various forms: rigid, semi-rigid, flexible, or foam. In the context of seals and technical components, an elastic
