Automotive insulation solutions from Tecman are all designed to provide highly efficient acoustic absorption while reducing the weight and environmental impact of vehicles.

Adhesive tape for bonding low surface energy (LSE) plastics, including transfer adhesives, film tapes and Vhpb & VHB tapes regularly specified by Application Engineers.

Exterior NVH can directly affect the ambience within a vehicle cabin as opposed to causing secondary vibrations and harshness. Variations or loose media on the road surface are a significant cause of primary automotive NVH that can be detrimental to the driver and passenger experience.

Automotive tapes are among the most common products used to adhere components to body panels and chassis superstructures.

Tecman's range of advanced adhesive tapes focus on automotive lightweighting, rapid assembly, increased productivity and reduced cost.

Weather-resistant bonding solutions enhance the longevity of exterior appliques and components by providing more secure adhesion to the vehicle’s superstructure over longer lifetimes.

The most significant source of noise, vibration, and harshness (NVH) in automotive applications is typically the contact between a vehicle and the road surface.

There are many potential sources of NVH in automotive vehicles. Tecman supply a range of solutions for the reduction of NVH, using the best quality automotive acoustic insulation materials.

We are pleased to announce that we have recently transitioned to ISO 9001:2015 certification.

Many of the processes that go into fabricating high-performance vehicles remain largely unsung, providing functional benefits with very little aesthetic impact.

Vehicle manufacturing is comprised of multiple high-precision processes, from heavy-duty chassis fabrication to lightweight surface protection solutions. Each of these stages is integral for the fabrication of exceptional quality vehicles for discerning consumers.

In the automotive engineering industry, noise, vibration, and harshness (NVH) refer to a vehicle’s levels of mechanical feedback, which can be caused and impacted by numerous factors.

We have improved our die cut tape capabilities with the acquisition of ultra-precise new machinery.

Industrial adhesive tapes are bonding components often used in fastening applications.

Tecman has announced that they are exhibiting at the GALM Lightweight Vehicle Manufacturing: Joining, Forming & Manufacturing Technology Summit at the NEC in Birmingham, UK on 29th – 30th November 2017.

High performance adhesive tapes are widely employed in the renewable energy market due to their versatility and range of features.

Tecman's semi-automated jig and fixture equipment is designed for cost-effective and simple application of die-cut protection films to automotive components.

Tecman’s acoustic insulation pads produced using Neptune material, are supplied with a range of features and manufactured using advanced processing techniques for high efficiency and reduced costs.

3M™ VHB™ tapes have been used extensively throughout manufacturing industries since the 1980s to bond, and attach a wide variety of materials; including plastics, metals, and glass.

The new General Purpose High Temperature (GPH) 3M™ VHB™ tapes are now available from Tecman. The series uses a grey, conformable, double coated acrylic foam to provide excellent stress dissipation and gap filling.

The sensitive surface of Piano black high gloss finish is prone to mark easily during the removal of protection films. Tecman have been working closely with Mankiewicz and Jaguar Land Rover to produce an automotive interior protection film that can be applied to gloss painted plastics.

Tecman’s automotive protection film solutions are designed to optimise all aspects of automotive processes of manufacture by focusing on how the film can most effectively be configured and formatted to improve efficiency and reduce costs.

Tecman’s most advanced Technology to date, DAAT® Dual Action Adhesive Tape, has been formulated to meet the increasingly complex field of structural bonding of multi-materials.

Jaguar Land Rover have approved Tecman’s automotive protection film for gloss painted plastic interior parts.

As part of a drive to create the most advanced bonding systems, Tecman is currently investing in developing DAAT® Dual Action Adhesive Tape to Overcome Challenges of Structural Bonding of Composites within the Automotive Industry.

Previewing Revolutionary New Technology for Bonding Carbon Fibre Reinforced Plastic (CFRP) Panels at the Global Lightweight Vehicle Manufacturing Summit.

Tecman will be exhibiting at SMMT’s Open Forum event on 15 October at Cranmore Park, Solihull.

Tecman Speciality Materials Ltd are exhibiting at FAST Exhibition for fastening & Assembly Solutions on 9th September 2015 at the Williams F1 Conference Centre.

Our updated website now includes product pages for our entire Bond44 range, plus user-friendly navigation and search functionality.

Following the success of the previous event, Tecman are attending the SMMT Meet the Buyer event on Tuesday 12th May at the QE11 Conference Centre, London.

As part of a 5 year expansion plan, Tecman Speciality Materials Ltd are continuing to invest in their conversion capabilities with the addition of a new ultra high accuracy 320mm rotary die press.

We will be showcasing their advanced bonding and sealing solutions for the automotive industry at the SMMT Open Forum on 18th March 2015

Adhesive tapes for low temperature applications, designed to be applied at sub-zero temperatures and withstand extreme weather conditions.

Tecman has invested in a new inline Corona Treatment unit, enabling material treatment during the die cutting process which allows Tecman to apply PSA’s to materials which have an inherent LSE.

Thermally conductive acrylic foam tape has been designed to offer superior transfer of heat for LED units, heat sinks and other electrical components.

Tecman Speciality Materials have announced a growth of over 30% during the last financial year (2013/14), reaching their growth target set out as part of a business expansion plan.

Tecman Speciality Materials have recently moved to a UKAS accredited quality management standard which further demonstrates the company’s commitment in maintaining and developing their ISO9001:2008 accreditation.

Tecman have developed a new solution to prevent residual metal swarf entering apertures during manufacturing processes. The solution cuts out the need for a manual process to remove trapped swarf, saving significant production time and resource.

Tecman have moved to new, larger premises in Leamington Spa, Warwickshire as part of a relocation and expansion plan. The new offices, conversion facility and warehousing units have situated Tecman within the hub of the West Midlands manufacturing industries.

From Monday 1st July 2013 Tecman Speciality Materials will be located at a new UK head office based in Leamington Spa.

Adhesive tapes are replacing mechanical fastening methods due to the many design and assembly advantages.
