Today, technical adhesive tapes are decisive for process stability, installation space and service life. SynFlex offers a systematically structured portfolio that is not orientated to the product, but to your real conditions.
SynFlex combines in-depth system expertise in electrical engineering with the adhesive technology of leading manufacturers. We evaluate the technical parameters for you and guide you directly to a proven solution - manufacturer-independent and application-orientated.
To make your selection easier, we have structured our portfolio along clear decision-making paths. Under the guiding principle of One Tape Ahead, you can start directly where your question begins - with your application or your market.
Are you looking for adhesive tapes for insulating, joining or sealing? Here you will find the right solutions and technical criteria for your needs.
Does your question arise from areas such as battery or drive technology? We will show you proven solutions for your specific area of application.
SynFlex brings together leading technology partners in the field of technical adhesive tapes under one roof. As a manufacturer-independent system partner, we do not choose the product we want to sell, but the solution that best fulfils your application both technically and economically.
Our portfolio combines international technology leaders such as tesa®, 3M™, Isotape® and Intertape® as well as our SynTape® product line. This gives you access to different adhesive and carrier technologies - from standard industrial adhesive tapes and high-performance bonding solutions to specialised insulation and functional concepts.
Instead of providing brand-driven advice, we compare technologies objectively and select the technically suitable solution for your application - regardless of the manufacturer.
Before we talk about the shape of your component, we define the physical basis of your application.
A high-performance adhesive tape is a precisely harmonised multi-layer system. Each individual component is customised to your technical and process requirements.
Before we talk about geometries or die-cut parts, we define the technical basis. A high-performance technical adhesive tape is a precisely harmonised multi-layer system.
Each individual layer influences the process behaviour, service life and stability of your application. However, it is not the individual component that is decisive. Rather, it is the interaction of all materials that counts.
In electrical engineering and industrial bonding technology, details often determine the safety and cost-effectiveness of a product. Whether it's about the optimum insulation effect, process acceleration in production or compliance with international approval standards - we support you with our in-depth expertise.
Here you will find answers to the most frequently asked technical questions that we encounter in our daily work with our customers. Find out how you can optimise your processes and extend the service life of your assemblies through the right choice of materials and intelligent assembly.
The CTI (Comparative Tracking Index) is so important for electrical insulation because it directly indicates how resistant an insulating material is to leakage currents and surface breakdowns. This has a major impact on the safety, service life and size of electrical devices....
Acrylic adhesives are the first choice when it comes to high final adhesion and good media resistance. Silicone adhesives, on the other hand, show their strengths in extreme temperature ranges (up to 260 °C) and on "difficult", siliconised surfaces. They are particularly suitable when permanent bonding, ageing resistance and process reliability are crucial. We help you to resolve the conflict between temperature stress and the required adhesive strength, regardless of the manufacturer.
The surface energy of the substrate determines the wetting ability of the adhesive. With low-energy plastics (e.g. PE/PP), the initial adhesion (tack) is lower, which requires longer pressing times and therefore leads to longer cycle times. By selecting an adhesive with optimised flow properties or designing special die-cut parts, we reduce the necessary dwell time in the process and thus increase your output rate.
In automated series production, standard liners often lead to downtime due to tearing or difficult removal. A customised liner concept with finger lift (gripping aid) or reinforced backing material improves automation, reduces incorrect applications and lowers the error rate. At the same time, cycle times can be shortened and process stability increased in both manual and automated assembly processes.
A high initial adhesive strength alone does not guarantee a permanent bond.
The decisive factor is the interaction of adhesion, cohesion and ageing behaviour under temperature, load and media contact. The correct design prevents premature failure during operation.
The choice of adhesive influences whether components can be reversibly dismantled. Silicones often offer a good compromise between hold and controllable rework, while acrylates are more durable but more difficult to remove, depending on the application.
If UL-certified adhesive tapes are assembled (e.g. into die-cut parts), traceability and therefore approval expire without the corresponding certification. As a UL-certified repackager, SynFlex ensures that the certification chain remains unbroken right through to the end product. This saves you time-consuming recertification and ensures the global conformity of your assemblies.
