What is UV Tape?
UV tapes offer specific features and properties that allow them to work well in direct sunlight and other demanding external environments.
Weathering and UV light exposure can have a severe impact on many adhesive systems. This can cause them to degrade over time when exposed to the high temperatures and stressful use conditions that can result in their bond ultimately failing. Applications which require bonding or masking to glass or plastic in direct sunlight temporarily or permanently call for UV tapes that ensure an appropriate UV resistant adhesive system, particularly modified rubber, acrylic or silicone which our UV tape portfolio encompasses.
Applications for UV Tape
Scapa UV tapes come in a wide selection of product types specifically engineered for harsh environments and challenging temporary and permanent applications across a broad range of industries.Examples of applications where Scapa's UV tapes are used include:
