Selection Guide

To meet customers’ diverse composite‑processing techniques and operating‑condition requirements, we primarily recommend standard, well‑proven models that enable rapid preliminary selection and matching.

1. 0.05mm Thin‑type: Designed to work with lightweight composite materials, featuring flexible adhesion and precision thin‑layer lamination, emphasizing lightweight construction and superior conformability.

2. 0.08mm General‑purpose model: A mainstream, industry‑wide standard that is compatible with the vast majority of composite laminating and conventional bonding applications, offering the best value for money.

3. 0.10mm Thickened version: more wear-resistant and tougher, suitable for sealing gaskets, structural load-bearing composites, and high-frequency operating conditions.

4. 0.20mm Heavy-duty version: high strength and excellent stability, suitable for chemical‑resistant linings, heavy‑load structural composites, and demanding high‑temperature, high‑pressure service conditions.

In addition, we can customize special thicknesses and widths according to customer requirements, and offer products in both roll and sheet formats.

Precautions for Use

1.  Distinguish between the front and back sides to minimize scrap: only the red activated side exhibits adhesion; the non‑activated side cannot bond. Before application, accurately identify the front and back to prevent misuse and scrap at the source, thereby reducing material waste.

2.  Maintain surface cleanliness to improve first‑pass yield: The activated surface must be kept free of oil, dust, and water stains; any contamination will significantly reduce bond strength. Ensuring a clean processing environment can effectively increase the pass rate of bonded assemblies and enhance production efficiency.

3.  Use as scheduled to ensure stable performance: The sodiated activation layer has a limited shelf life; it is recommended that, upon receipt, 6 Use within one month to prevent bond failure caused by loss of activity and reduce rework-related losses.

4.  Proper storage extends product shelf life: Store at room temperature, away from direct sunlight and high‑temperature heat sources; avoid exposure to intense UV light, excessive pressure, and folding or crushing. This helps preserve the product’s active properties and minimize storage losses.

5.  Precise cutting and optimized processing: Utilizing sharp, high-precision blades ensures smooth cut edges, prevents fraying and cracking, and enhances composite accuracy and finished‑product quality.
