Composite moulding tapes for Automotive industry

composite-moulding-tapes-in-automotive

Why ABI Tape's composite moulding tapes

ABI Tape composite moulding tapes are used in the production of composite parts like battery trays, car bodies for race cars, A/B/C pillars, bulkheads, hoods, inner door panels, mirror housings, chassis (parts).
 
The tapes are available in several thicknesses, adhesive systems, colors and other characteristics to be used in the construction of automotive parts.

Depending on the exact use of the tape, the maximum temperature and pressure, the needed colour, etc. a different tape may be chosen.Mostly the tapes are used to mask bond lines, to avoid or reduce flash (“the spill-over over the resin”), to protect the mould or different layers in the composite moulding process or simply to hold the foils, vacuum bag and films on their place. 

Technical features ABI Tape's polyester tapes

In a highly technical market it is best to talk facts and figures to explain on how are tapes are so applicable within composite moulding applications:

Temperature


High thermal resistance: up to 203°C

Composite Bonding Design


High adhesion to different materials, especially on moulds

Masking Applications


Temperature resistant and different adhesion levels

Easy Removal


Unique proprietary formulations as to withstand tearing when removing the flash tape

FAQs

What is the difference between the different polyester tapes?

Difference lays mainly in the backing thickness (thinner - thicker) and the adhesive system (silicone-rubber).

What can I use polyester tapes for?

Polyester tapes are mainly used for holding down, masking, isolating, jacketing, high temperature protection and flash protection applications.

What is the difference with other polyester tapes?

Our polyester backing, together with release coat and adhesive are proprietary formulations resulting in a very high product quality and ease of use.

Are die-cuts possible with your polyester tapes?

Yes, we do have a whole range of standard die-cuts. We can also produce bespoke die-cuts, following your requirements.

Can I order polyester tapes other than those mentioned on your website?

We can develop togheter with you a unique polyester tape if the quantities are sufficient. Please contact us for more details.
