Adhesive Tape Systems

Gaska Tape supplies the HVAC, Industrial, Automotive, and Transportation industries with Adhesive Tape Systems and Acrylic Adhesives.

Gaska Hi Bond® Adhesive System (GHB™) consists of a foamed acrylic core that is coated on both sides with high performance acrylic adhesives. This adhesive system provides excellent long-term holding power. The tape incorporates a strong closed-cell foamed core that conforms to a wide variety of substrates providing a superior bond.

GHB tapes are well suited for interior and exterior applications and in many instances can replace rivets, screws, welds and liquid adhesives. GHB tapes will bond to most dry, clean, oil free surfaces and provide bond strengths along with dynamic shear that is significantly higher than typical pressure-sensitive tapes.

Acrylic Adhesives

Almost all Gaska Tape products are coated with "Acrylic Pressure Sensitive Adhesives". They offer performance advantages over other types of compositions. Acrylic adhesives (PSAs) exhibit good ultraviolet and exterior durability, excellent chemical resistance and a broad range of service temperatures. These adhesives are characterized or defined by Tack, Peel and Shear.

Tack is a measure of an adhesive's immediate hardness. The most common form of characterization is finger tack or 'thumb appeal'. More formal measurements are polyken, loop or rolling ball tack.

Peel is a measure of an adhesive's ability to wet out a surface and subsequently adhere to the substrate.

Shear is a measure of an adhesive's vertical holding power. It is generally measured by attaching a specific surface area of adhesive to a substrate, attaching a known weight to the adhesive and carrier, then measuring the amount of time the adhesive would hold the weight.
