Choosing the right adhesive tape for your project is crucial to ensure that the tape sticks properly and holds up over time. There are several factors to consider when choosing an adhesive tape, including the surface you will be applying it to, the environment it will be exposed to, and the amount of stress it…
Solvent-based monofilament tapes are widely used in the manufacturing of oil-filled transformers, which are used for power transmission and distribution. These tapes play an important role in providing mechanical protection and insulation to the transformer windings. In this blog, we will discuss how solvent-based monofilament tapes are used in solvent-based oil-filled transformers. First, let’s understand…
Adhesive Specialities has recently provided a highly suitable solution for high-temperature applications by introducing a new development which is known as the Aramid/Nomex® Tape made from Aramid/Nomex® Paper. What is the Aramid/Nomex® Paper? The Aramid/Nomex® paper is a series of insulation papers that provide high inherent dielectric strength, mechanical toughness, flexibility, and resilience. Nomex® Paper is a registered brand of…
A process for edging an optical lens for conforming the optical lens to the size and shape of a lens frame into which the optical lens is to be accommodated, said process comprises: 1. Providing an optical lens having a convex surface, the convex surface is provided with an anti-smudge topcoat rendering the optical lens…
It may be surprising to know but there are numerous pressure sensitive tapes that are used in the electrical industry. Electrical adhesive tapes are of various varieties, specialized for specific purposes, and differentiated by colour. The benefits of using electrical adhesive tapes are that they offer excellent absorption, and have longer lives, depending on the kind of…

It is imperative in any industry that uses pressure sensitive adhesive (PSA) tapes to choose the adhesive tape based on the application. There is ‘no one size fits all’ in industrial adhesive tapes. The adhesive tapes are decided upon various factors such as application, interior and exterior conditions, requisite properties required and so on. It…
Why won’t your adhesive tapes stick in cold weather? Why does the tape become dry, brittle, and offer little-to-no tack? Why does it lift and peel within days? To understand all this and more we first need to delve deeper into understating problems associated with taping when the temperature drops. What are the problems that…
