The consumer electronics industry is constantly expanding as new technology is developed and refined, and adhesive tapes are critical for this sector to ensure that the electronic device works successfully.

Tecman VHPB and 3M™ VHB™ tapes are used to replace mechanical fastening systems in a range of applications. They are improving assembly processes and they are often the preferred method of fastening by engineers over traditional screws, bolts, and clips.

By definition, an adhesive is ‘a substance used for sticking objects or materials together’ and an industrial adhesive tape is one that is used in many different sectors, often on a large scale with a high level of adhesive strength compared to everyday adhesive tapes.

Acoustic insulation is an important consideration for many industries, from noise-cancelling headphones in the electronics industry to NVH reduction in the automotive sector. The ability to provide successful acoustic insulation, while keeping size, weight, and costs low is often the crucial factor when choosing materials for this purpose.

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

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.

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.

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.

Tecman’s automotive protection film solutions are designed to optimise all aspects of automotive manufacturing processes 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.

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.

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 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.

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