The DCPE Series Double Coated Polyester Film Tapes are engineered for high-performance bonding, splicing, and mounting applications across a wide range of industries, including packaging, electronics, signage, and automotive. These tapes use durable polyester (PET) film carriers and come coated with either synthetic hot melt rubber or solvent-based water acrylic adhesives for reliable adhesion across metals, plastics, foams, coated papers, and more.
-
DCPE35HM features a clear film with synthetic hot melt rubber adhesive, offering aggressive tack and excellent moisture resistance, ideal for general-purpose use in bonding and laminating applications.
-
DCPE35A is constructed with a red opaque PET film and high-performance clear acrylic adhesive, delivering superior adhesion and shear strength with excellent high/low temperature resistance. It’s perfect for visual splicing where identification is critical.
-
DCPE35WBA delivers strong peel, excellent quick-stick, UV and temperature resistance, and is optimized for durable, long-lasting splices and bonds in demanding environments.
