How do I know when to use rubber or acrylic adhesive tape?

Rubber based adhesives adhere best to plastics like ABS, polypropylene, and polyethylene. Most rubber based adhesives withstand temperatures of 90°C and pass aggressive specifications for adhesion. Acrylic adhesives work best when the substrate being bonded contains chemical solvents and plasticizers which can degrade the adhesive over time. Acrylic adhesive is also recommended for applications with direct exposure to UV light.

Why should I choose a double-coated adhesive instead of a free-film?

A double-coated adhesive contains a supported layer (called a carrier) between the two adhesive layers. This carrier provides reinforcement for the finished part which makes the product dimensionally stable and stronger. The majority of MACtac Technical products contain a polyester carrier but polypropylene, polyethylene foam, and non-woven fabrics are also available.

What release liner does MACtac Technical recommend?

MACtac offers a number of release liner options for Technical products. The liner you choose depends largely on the adhesive system and the application. Kraft paper liners offer firmness and thickness stability in dye cutting applications. Poly-coated paper liners offer moisture stability and board liners make removal during production easier.
