Bonding Tape for Plastic – Achieving a Strong Bond Without Visible Fixings

Image
Working with plastic often presents a challenge when a clean finish is just as important as a strong bond. Traditional fixings such as screws, rivets or bolts can affect the appearance of a finished product, which is why many manufacturers and installers choose adhesive solutions instead. A dependable bonding tape for plastic provides a neat alternative while helping simplify installation. STIKON's S-Bond Clear High Bond Tape has been developed for long-term bonding where strength and appearance both matter. Manufactured using a clear acrylic gel construction, the tape is designed to create a virtually invisible bond, making it particularly suitable for applications where discreet fixing is preferred. One of the key benefits of this product is its ability to bond a variety of materials, including plastics, glass and metals. This makes it useful for projects where different surfaces need to be joined without introducing visible mechanical fixings. The transparent finish also he...

Security Tamper Evident Tape – Adding Confidence to Every Shipment

Image
Sending products to customers is only part of the job. Making sure they arrive exactly as they left your premises is just as important. Whether goods are travelling across the country or being stored before dispatch, businesses want to know that their packaging hasn't been opened along the way. Using security tamper evident tape is a simple way to provide that reassurance. Unlike standard packaging tape, tamper-evident tape is designed to leave a visible indication if someone attempts to remove it. Instead of quietly peeling away, the tape reveals a clear VOID message, making it immediately obvious that the seal has been broken. This allows businesses to identify potential tampering before products reach the end user. The STIKON security tape range includes solutions for different packaging requirements. The Economy version provides a plain VOID security tape suitable for everyday carton sealing, while the Premium range has been developed for more demanding applications. Premi...

Window Glazing Tape – A Small Detail That Makes a Big Difference

When people think about glazing, they usually focus on the glass itself or the frame that holds it in place. However, the materials used during installation are just as important. Choosing the right window glazing tape helps create a secure fit while supporting long-term performance in a variety of glazing applications. At STIKON, the S-Mount Security Glazing Tape range has been developed for professional glazing work where reliability is essential. Manufactured with a high-density PVC foam carrier and acrylic adhesive on both sides, it provides a dependable solution for installations that need both strength and durability. One of the practical advantages of this tape is its ability to be repositioned during installation before the adhesive reaches its full bond strength. This gives installers greater flexibility when aligning glass units and helps achieve a more accurate finish. Once in place, the adhesive continues to build strength, providing a secure and lasting bond. Becaus...
