High-Performance Non-Woven Tapes
-- Steady & Reliable Manufacturer --
Conformable and Breathable Tapes for Irregular Surface Bonding
High-Performance Non-Woven Tapes are characterized by a soft, highly flexible backing made from loosely-arranged synthetic or natural fibers (e.g., rayon, polyester, tissue), saturated with an adhesive. These tapes are designed for superior conformability, allowing them to tightly adhere to highly irregular, curved, or textured surfaces where stiff film tapes would wrinkle or lift. They excel in applications requiring breathable, noise-ddampening, or lightweight bonding. The non-woven backing can be saturated with aggressive rubber, clean-removal acrylic, or differential adhesives, making them exceptionally versatile for permanent mounting, cushioning, and specific cosmetic or sound-dampening applications.
- Exceptional Conformability: Molds precisely to complex curves and textured substrates.
- Acoustic Damping: Soft structure provides minimal noise, vibration, and harshness (NVH) dampening.
- Lightweight/Thin: Ideal for applications where bulk and weight must be minimized.
Why Choose Us
Hidden Bonding and Design Integration
- Differential Adhesion Capability: We can coat the two sides of a double-sided non-woven tape with different adhesive formulations (e.g., high-tack rubber on the component side, clean-peel acrylic on the removable side) for customized assembly processes.
- Minimal Show-Through: The soft, matte finish of the non-woven backing minimizes the visibility of the tape through thin materials, which is crucial for cosmetic interior bonding.
- Excellent Initial Wet-Out: The soft, fluid nature of the non-woven material allows the adhesive to rapidly "wet out" and maximize contact with low-surface-energy (LSE) or textured substrates, maximizing final bond strength.
- Lightweight Solution: Offers a significant weight reduction compared to foam or heavy film tapes, which contributes to overall product weight goals in the automotive and electronics industries.
Core Features
Bonding, Dampening, and Interior Applications
- Automotive Interior Assembly: Securing lightweight headliners, door panels, and cloth/felt trims, often requiring clean, quiet removal or permanent, hidden bonding.
- Gasketing and Sealing: Bonding non-woven felt or fabric materials to create breathable, conformable gaskets for dust or air filtration.
- Cosmetic Bonding (Retail/Furniture): Permanent attachment of decorative trims, fabrics, and lightweight cushioning components in furniture and retail displays.
- Medical/Hygiene: Used as a highly breathable, soft backing for medical dressings or disposable component assembly (non-sterile environment use).
Technical Specifications
SXT: Versatility and Precision in Soft Substrate Adhesion
SXT's strength lies in mastering the coating of diverse and challenging substrates. Non-woven tapes require specialized adhesive saturation and drying techniques to ensure the final product is uniform, soft, yet strong. Our manufacturing process ensures complete saturation of the backing for superior adhesive performance while controlling the tape's overall thinness. We partner with interior and design-focused OEMs, particularly in the automotive and furniture sectors, who rely on the aesthetic and acoustic benefits of our high-performance non-woven tapes for achieving clean, comfortable assemblies.
Usage Guide
Non-Woven Tapes: Backing & Adhesion Profiles
| Adhesive Type | Backing Thickness (Typical) | Main Benefit | Conformability Index |
| Rubber (High Tack) | 50 to 150 \mum | Aggressive Initial Grab | Excellent |
| Acrylic (Permanent) | 80 to 200 \mum | High Shear/Long-Term Hold | Very Good |
| Differential (High/Low Tack) | 100 to 200 \mum | Two adhesion levels on one tape | Excellent |
| Water-Base Acrylic | 80 to 120 \mum | Low VOC, Environmental Focus | Very Good |
Frequently Asked Questions
Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
- Q: Why are non-woven tapes often preferred over thin film tapes for interior bonding?
- A: Non-woven tapes are significantly more conformable, allowing them to handle the tight curves and slight imperfections often found in vehicle interiors or furniture, providing a stronger, more consistent bond line than a stiffer film tape.
- Q: Can non-woven tapes be die-cut easily into complex parts?
- A: Yes. Non-woven tapes are one of the most common materials for die-cutting into complex shapes (e.g., gaskets, mounting pads) using rotary or steel rule dies due to their flexibility and stability on the liner.
- Q: Do these tapes contribute to Noise, Vibration, and Harshness (NVH) reduction?
- A: While not a primary damper like heavy foam, the soft, cushioned nature of the non-woven backing and its ability to fill tiny gaps and prevent rattling between two substrates does provide a useful, lightweight contribution to NVH reduction, particularly in automotive cabins.
