Technical adhesive tapes by industry

Battery systems combine electrical insulation, heat dissipation and mechanical stability in a small space. Technical adhesive tapes fulfil safety-relevant functions here and must work reliably over the long term when exposed to temperature, media contact and series processes.

Typical market specifics

• High thermal and electrical requirements
• Tight installation spaces and complex geometries
• Media contact (electrolytes, cooling media)
• High degree of automation and reproducibility

Industrial drive systems are continuously exposed to thermal loads, electrical field effects and mechanical stress over long life cycles. Technical adhesive tapes must be able to be structurally and electrically integrated into the insulation concept and also guarantee constant performance in series production.

Typical market specifics

• Continuous operation at elevated temperatures
• Combination of electrical and mechanical loads
• Integration into existing EIS concepts
• Long-term stability over many operating cycles

Automotive applications require reproducible quality, high process stability and release capability for large series. Technical adhesive tapes are increasingly taking on structural, protective and functional tasks within complex assemblies.

Typical market specifics

• High degree of standardisation and approval
• Temperature and media resistance
• Suitability for automated lines
• Documentation and traceability requirements

Applications in power generation and infrastructure are designed for high reliability and long life cycles. Adhesive tapes must ensure electrical safety as well as withstand environmental and ageing influences.

Typical market specifics

• Long-term thermal and electrical stress
• Use in harsh environments
• High reliability requirements
• Low-maintenance or maintenance-free design

In the network infrastructure, continuous electrical loads, environmental influences and very long operating times come together. Under these conditions, technical adhesive tapes must reliably insulate, fix or protect, often in areas that are difficult to access or require limited maintenance.

Typical market specifics

• Continuous operation over decades
• Temperature and weather resistance
• High electrical safety requirements
• Robust, easy-to-install solutions

White goods and power tools are characterised by high quantities, pronounced cost pressure and stable series processes. Technical adhesive tapes must reliably fulfil their function and at the same time be able to be efficiently integrated into automated or semi-automated production processes.

Typical market specifics

• Series production with tight cycle times
• Combination of mechanical, thermal and electrical requirements
• Focus on process reliability and cost-effectiveness
• Clean processing and consistent quality

In power electronics, thermal management, electrical insulation and compact designs have a significant influence on material decisions. Technical adhesive tapes have to fulfil clearly defined functions and provide long-term thermal and electrical stability.

Typical market specifics

• High power losses and heat densities
• Tight installation spaces and low layer thicknesses
• Combination of insulation, fixation and conductivity
• High demands on reproducibility

Medical technology places high demands on material purity, reliability and traceability. Technical adhesive tapes must not only fulfil their function reliably, but also comply with regulatory requirements and be reliable in use.

Typical market specifics

• High demands on cleanliness and material compatibility
• Reproducible quality and documentation
• Partially single-use or long-term applications
• Precise, controlled processing
