Adhesives and the resultant tapes made from this class of elastomers is very versatile and the most frequently used. These adhesives typically use styrene butadiene rubber (SBR) or styrene block copolymers such as styrene-butadiene styrene (SBS) , styrene –isoprene-styrene(SIS), or SEBS(styrene-ethyelene/butylene-styrene.. Block copolymers have thermoplastic styrene end blocks with an elastomeric midblock. Different tackifying resins can be used for each distinct phase of the base and the resulting adhesives can be tailored to exhibit aggressive tack, high peel, and excellent cohesive strength. There are a variety of tape products made from these systems including double coated film tapes, transfer adhesives, foam tapes, and carton sealing tapes. These tapes can be used for interior bonding and assembly applications, fabricating foam gaskets and seals, and of course duct tape.
Silicone insulation tape has become an essential tool in various industries due to its remarkable properties and versatility. Unlike traditional insulating materials, silicone tape stands out for its excellent heat resistance, flexibility, and durability, making it an ideal choice for electrical insulation, automotive applications, and even household repairs.
