Custom Self–Adhesive Tapes

Custom Self–Adhesive Tapes

Rayven offers custom self-adhesive tapes with a wide range of base materials, adhesives, and styles. Custom self-adhesive tapes are self-wound and liner-less; the carrier is coated on one side with pressure sensitive adhesive, and have a silicone release coating on the other side.

Some of the substrates commonly used with self-adhesive tape are:

• Films: polyester (PET), cast polypropylene, low-density polyethylene, high-density polyethylene, Tedlar®, Tyvek®, Nomex®, polyvinyl chloride (PVC), styrene, nylon, metalized films, and others.
• Laminations: film/metal foil, film/foam, film/paper, etc.
• Others: poly foams (both open and closed cell), metal foils, non-woven fabrics, woven fabrics, polyester and fiberglass scrim, etc.

The availability of pressure-sensitive adhesives is almost limitless. Rayven can coat both solvent-based and water-based chemistries. Rayven’s customers can specify their adhesive of choice, or their chemists can recommend a possible solution. Some of the adhesive types available from Rayven include acrylic adhesive, rubber adhesive, synthetic rubber adhesive, and hybrid adhesive.

• Features like tack, adhesion, shear, clarity, color, chemical resistance, fuel resistance, removability, and repositionability, can be addressed. Several masking adhesives are accessible for both high and low-temperature masking applications.
• Tapes can be supplied both self-wound or with release liners. The release liner, or backing, is another area where Rayven can offer many film or paper options. Rayven applies release coatings “in-house,” so it is not limited to standard release liner types.
• Widths are available up to 55 inches (1400mm). Rayven can slit tapes down to as narrow as 1/4″(6.35mm). Wide web master rolls can currently be supplied UP to 32 inches in diameter.
