  • Durable bond lasts the life of the product
  • Streamline design and improve appearance
  • Reduce production and labor costs
  • Establish a continuous bond line without fasteners or bolts

A Guide to Choosing the Best Gasket Adhesive

Pressure-sensitive tape can create a powerful bond that stands up to demanding conditions found in aerospace, automotive and industrial applications. When finalizing the design of your custom adhesive-backed gasket, the selection of pressure-sensitive tape requires just as much consideration as the foam or rubber material. To begin the analysis, consider the uses, environment and adhesive chemistries.

Key considerations when choosing gasket adhesive
Special Properties
Should the adhesive be thermally conductive or flame retardant?
Weather Resistance
Will the adhesive be exposed to rain, snow, humidity and extreme outdoor temperatures?
Dimensional Stability
Would stretching during assembly affect performance?
Adhesion Properties
What materials is the adhesive bonding with?
Temperature Capabilities
What temperature range will the product be exposed to?
Chemical Compatibility
Will the adhesive be exposed to chemicals?

Common Chemistries Gasket Adhesive

Acrylic

Adheres well to most gasketing materials and surfaces while offering a good operating temperature range (-50°F/-46°C to +350°F/+177°C intermittent)

Silicone

Adheres well to silicone elastomers with fair adherence to other surfaces. Silicone adhesives offer the widest operating temperature range (-80°F/-62°C to +450°F/+232°C), but are also the highest cost.

Rubber

For general use applications, typically lower performance and lower cost. Typical intermittent operating temperature range (+50°F/10°C to +150°F/65°C).
