DOUBLE SIDED ADHESIVE FOR BACKSPLASH INSTALL
It is absolutely overkill, but we know that you can install our products anywhere, and if the surface prep is done correctly, it will not fail. We offer VHB tape to you, so you have the best possible solution for your project. What you think of as "tape" is actually a permanent fastening solution superior to fasteners and welding since it can better withstand temperature fluctuations and provides a larger "gripping" area if you will. Point is, we're not talking about the junk you purchase at a big box store.
DOUBLE SIDED ADHESIVE FOR BACKSPLASH WINDOWS
On skyscrapers, windows are often held in with tape.
For example, vehicle manufacturers utilize tape instead of spot welds or bolts on various body panels. VHB tape simply means "very high bond" tape, and it's typically considered a high performance product for critical applications where your general tape just won't work. However, a LSE tape will work fabulously on a HSE surface, meaning you should use our tape to bond anything to anything else, almost. An HSE tape (less expensive) will not have long-term holding power on a LSE surface because it's not engineered to bond with the molecules as well. Latex paints, powder coat paints, etc are considered LSE surfaces, while glass, metal, and other smooth, hard surfaces are HSE. Surfaces/tape are typically classified as High Surface Energy (HSE) and Low Surface Energy (LSE). Meaning the tape will interact with more molecules, and will bond more fully with those molecules, on the surface. As such, surfaces/materials with low surface energy require tape that will bond more thoroughly with the surface. A softer material has weaker bonds between the molecules, and therefore less excess energy available to bond with the tape. This excess energy is what increases the bond to the tape. Harder surfaces have stronger bonds between the molecules and therefore more “excess energy” on the surface of the material. Good question and important too! The simplest way to think of surface energy is in terms of the hardness of the surface. Tape Use and Installation - READ FIRST! What is Surface Energy, and Who Cares?
