Adchem Corporation, a major supplier of high performance adhesive tapes, has completed a bonding study on two grades of thermoformable grades of TPO available from Premier Material Concepts (PMC).
Two grades of TPO were selected for the test, WP130 white and MF7200 black, to study the effects of pigmentation on the bond. A wide array of Adchem products were tested including transfer tapes, foam tapes, and double-coated tapes utilizing rubber and acrylic adhesive chemistries.
Adchem Completes Bonding Study on Premier Material Concepts Thermoformable Grades of TPO.
TPO's are low surface energy materials requiring uniquely engineered adhesive tapes. Adchem, in addition to publishing the PMC chart, offers a white paper highlighting proven technologies for TPO adhesive technologies based on years of successful applications engineering and development of dozens of products.
Adchem's website offers additional bonding studies for acrylic and rubber adhesive tapes, as well as, heat activated tapes (HATS) specifically for bonding to common substrates and rubber compounded sheet and extruded materials, like EPDM, Santoprene®, neoprene blends.
Adchem's advanced engineering and testing capabilities enables it to develop high performance double-coated, unsupported, and specialty adhesive tapes for the most demanding applications.
