Electrically conductive adhesive tape conducts electricity on either just the back or on both sides. Conductive tapes are useful in connecting electronic parts, where the pieces need to be held together without sacrificing conductivity. Another popular use is in linking materials together for grounding or to attach an electromagnetic interference shield. Conductive tape can be…

Foil adhesive tapes are exceptionally versatile and long-lasting solutions for harsh and severe applications. Unswerving adhesion, electrical and thermal conductivity, as well as chemical, UV radiation, and humidity resistance, make foil tapes an ideal option for extreme uses. In most cases, foil tapes are used mainly outdoors because these adhesive tapes can withstand various elements…

There are dozens of architectural design elements to consider when building a house, but the most critical element is keeping out water and wind. That is why finding the right tape for insulation seams is vital in home and building construction. It only takes one leak to compromise the entire structure. Why Seaming Tape is…

Passengers’ and flight crew comfort is ensured by adequate regulation of the atmosphere within an airplane. Temperatures on the fuselage skin may fluctuate from –60°F in flight to 160°F while parked in bright sunshine, posing a hazard to the cabin’s interior temperature. Furthermore, the aircraft’s engine and aerodynamics of flight produce a significant quantity of…

Many modern vehicles feature significant functions, like Bluetooth, electric windows, GPS, and self-driving functionalities. These features and functionalities, coupled with electric vehicle technology, make electromagnetic shielding a concern in the automotive industry. Electromagnetic interference, if not controlled, may damage components or cause electronic malfunctions and errors on vehicle equipment. EMI shielding minimizes such problems by…
