Why Adhesive Tapes?
Connection of similar and non-similar surfaces • with better craftsmanship • often not visible in the end product • good chemical resistance • variety of thickness and adhesive types for
application • design flexibility • high strength • multi-functionality; adhesion, insulation and barrier
and etc.
