LSE Bonding Tapes – NEW
Engineered for reliable bonding to low surface energy substrates.
Adhesion built for difficult-to-bond surfaces
Bonding to low surface energy (LSE) materials such as polypropylene (PP), polyethylene (PE), or powder-coated surfaces presents unique challenges. ARclad® LSE Bonding Tapes are specifically engineered to form strong, lasting bonds on these difficult substrates without the need for primers or surface treatments.
The ARclad® 73000 Series provides consistent performance across a range of industrial applications, delivering high tack, shear resistance, and environmental durability. Whether in automotive, aerospace, construction, or general manufacturing, these tapes provide clean, efficient bonding where traditional adhesives fail.
Product Overview
ARclad® LSE Bonding Tapes use specialized pressure-sensitive adhesive (PSA) formulations designed to overcome the low surface energy of plastics and coated materials. Available in transfer and double-coated constructions, they deliver excellent initial tack and long-term adhesion while maintaining clean convertibility and ease of processing.
Engineered for versatility, the 73000 Series adheres effectively to plastics, composites, and textured or painted surfaces common in modern manufacturing. These tapes also perform well under temperature shifts and environmental exposure, providing secure, durable bonds that help reduce rework and production downtime.
With universal product constructions suitable for multiple assembly environments, ARclad® LSE Tapes simplify material selection while maintaining consistent, high-quality results across different substrates and process lines.
Custom Support Built Around Your Process
Each LSE application has its own set of requirements for the surface type, temperature, exposure, and mechanical load. Adhesives Research partners with manufacturers and converters to determine the right tape thickness, carrier, and adhesive chemistry for your specific material and process conditions. Our technical experts provide adhesion testing, substrate analysis, and performance validation to ensure dependable bonding under your real-world conditions.
