JVCC DC-UHB20FA-C Ultra High Bond Double-Sided Tape is constructed of a clear foamed acrylic system which has excellent all-around bonding properties which allows for very high performance in the most demanding of applications. Used as a mounting tape in the illuminated sign industry for fabricating road signs joining of metals and plastic trims in furniture construction and architectural applications. Ideal in the transportation industry. Used in the automotive aftercare market and in body shops for crash repair. The pressure-sensitive acrylic composition has very good tack; has excellent adhesion to a variety of surfaces; and has high shear strength performance. The tape is carried on a red release coated polyethylene liner that is easily removed. Has good UV resistance. The double-sided (AKA double-coated) tape will bond to most surfaces including many plastics composites sealed woods and metals; however thorough evaluation is recommended when bonding to low energy surface material such as Polyethylene Polypropylene silicones and Teflon. For lower energy surfaces may need to use an adhesive promoter/primer such as IPA (isopropanol) on the substrate prior to application. When applying the tape after removing the release liner be careful not to contaminate the acrylic adhesive and try to immediately bond the tape to the surface without entrapping air between the tape and the surface it is being applied to. At a minimum application-pressure should be 15 pounds per inch of tape width in order to achieve maximum bond strength. The dwell time the tape needs to be in contact with both surfaces before it reaches its maximum adhesion is 1 to 24 hours. NOTES: Sizes shipped will typically be the tape industry standard metric-cut sizes i.e. 24mm for each 1 inch of nominal tape width ordered (rolls are approximately 5% narrower than the nominal size). This product s actual size is 6.3mm wide. As with any adhesive tape product it is always the user s responsibility to determine that the product is suitable for their intended use; e.g. if you want to remove a product cleanly from a specific type of substrate please test on an inconspicuous area first. Warning: This product can expose you to chemicals including Carbon black (airborne unbound particles of respirable size) which is [are] known to the State of California to cause cancer.
