Tested Quality for Reliable Applications

To ensure the highest quality and performance, adhesive tape solutions undergo comprehensive testing. This testing utilizes state-of-the-art testing methods and equipment that simulate real-world operating conditions. The testing is based on international standards and guidelines, such as those from IEC, UL, and ISO.

Mechanical load capacity
The adhesive strength and durability of the bond are evaluated using various testing methods such as peel, shear and tensile tests.

Electrical Properties
Among other things, resistance, capacitance, impedance, and dielectric strength are tested here to ensure reliable operation.

Thermal Properties
Resistance to temperature stresses is evaluated based on parameters such as melting point, glass transition temperature, thermal conductivity, and thermal expansion.

Fire behavior
Tests on flammability, flame retardancy and smoke development provide information about safety under critical conditions.

We provide expert advice to help you find the right adhesive tape solution for your specific application.
