®Molecule Gradient Layer Double Faced Adhesive Tape
®Molecule Gradient Layer Double Faced Adhesive Tape

Features and benefits
Its manufacturing process gradates the molecular weight from the center layer which enhances intermolecular attraction to produce very strong bonds.
To secure strong adhesive strength to various adherends, a special low molecular adhesive layer has been selected.

In this technique, because the entire thickness of the tape strongly contributes to high molecular properties and adhesive strength, it has 1.5 to 2 times higher adhesive strength, heat resistance and viscoelasticity as compared with conventional tapes.

Structure: Three-layer gradation structure

1st layer : Low molecular gradient adhesive
2nd layer: Special Polymer
3rd layer: Low molecular gradient adhesive

TMA
Trimellitic anhydride

TMA is used in the synthesis of plasticisers and for producing epoxy and alkyd resins as well as a variety of other products including dyes, insecticides, polyester resins and pharmaceuticals. It is also widely used in the formulation of paints and plastics. Trimellitic anhydride is used mainly in the synthesis of trimellitate esters. These esters are used as plasticisers for polyvinyl chloride, especially when temperature stability is required. TMA is less volatile and less water-soluble than corresponding phthalates. This is useful for car interior linings, the wire enamels used to coat magnetic wire, and for other applications where high thermal resistance is required. TMA is often used as a binder for glass fibres, sand, and other aggregates
