Pressure Sensitive Tapes

Adhesive Systems

Acrylic

DuraStick® acrylic tapes have a blue liner and are the best choice when the tape is to be applied to an ambient surface where the heat is applied to the fabric. Acrylic adhesives are aggressive at lower temperatures, posses virtually an unlimited shelf life and operate over a narrower range of temperatures -100°F to 350°F, but can handle intermittent temperature required in impulse sealing.

Silicone

DuraStick® silicone tapes are furnished with yellow liner and are excellent choice when the tape is being applied to a heated surface. Silicone adhesives operate over a wide range of temperatures -100°F to 500°F and are best used within six months of the date of manufacturing. To obtain the maximum shelf life, these tapes should be stored in an air-conditioned or low humidity environment.
