Industrial adhesive tapes support a wide range of manufacturing and converting applications requiring reliable bonding, sealing, masking, surface protection, and assembly performance. MPI Matco provides adhesive solutions designed to help improve efficiency, durability, and production processes across multiple industries.
Applications
Appliances
Adhesive tapes are used in appliance manufacturing for mounting, bonding, vibration damping, and surface finishing applications while supporting cleaner designs and efficient assembly.
Paperboard & Corrugated Products
Industrial adhesive solutions support paperboard and corrugated applications requiring bonding, sealing, and material assembly.
Manufacturing Process Aids
Adhesive tapes help support manufacturing and converting processes including material holding, positioning, masking, and assembly applications.
Key Tape Selection Factors
Surface Compatibility
Different tapes are designed for specific surfaces to ensure reliable adhesion and optimal performance.
Temperature Resistance
Tapes should be selected based on application and operating temperatures to maintain long-term performance
Environmental Exposure
Consider moisture, UV exposure, chemicals, abrasion, and outdoor conditions when selecting the right tape solution.
Adhesion Requirements
Consider the required bond strength, holding power, and whether the application requires permanent or removable adhesion.
Surface Texture & Conformability
Tapes with greater conformability ensure better contact and adhesion on curved, rough, or irregular surfaces.
Durability & Performance Needs
Select tapes that meet the required lifespan, mechanical stress, vibration, and overall performance demands.
Frequently Asked Questions
VHB™ tapes are commonly used for high-strength bonding and permanent assembly applications, while double-coated tapes are often selected for mounting, laminating, and general-purpose bonding where different adhesion and removal characteristics may be required
Transfer tapes are typically used for thin-profile bonding and laminating applications, while foam tapes help compensate for uneven surfaces, vibration, and gap filling in manufacturing assemblies. The right selection depends on surface conditions and performance requirements.
Manufacturing environments often use high-temperature masking tapes, polyester tapes, and crepe masking tapes depending on temperature exposure, surface type, and clean removal requirements during painting or powder coating operations.
Selecting the appropriate tape depends on substrate surface energy, environmental exposure, temperature resistance, adhesion strength, and assembly requirements. Products such as acrylic foam tapes, transfer tapes, and specialty bonding tapes are commonly used across manufacturing applications.
