Product Applications

The typical use for this product is adhering a medical device to a skin adhesive tape. The device side of the tape (white liner side) bonds aggressively to common medical device polymers (polycarbonate, polystyrene, polyethylene, etc.), while the skin side of the tape (clear liner side) bonds aggressively to skin tape backings (nonwovens, polyurethanes, etc.).

Features and Benefits

  • High MVTR double faced tape allows for breathability
  • Differential adhesion designed for medical device bonding to skin tapes

  • Easier to handle compared to transfer film
