What makes UHB tapes bond so well? ORABOND® UHB (Ultra High Bond) tapes bond to a wide variety of surfaces. The viscoelastic properties (flow characteristics) of the UHB tapes allow them to balance the occuring tensions caused by different thermal expansion coefficients of bounded materials. Further, the adhesive flows into the microscopic material surfaces, achieving through an excellent 'wet out' extremely high bonding results. The elastic characteristics of the UHB-Tapes give it very good internal cohesive strength to support loads in both static and dynamic shear. It also gives the foam very good peel adhesion strength. The tape is soft and very flexible which means it has great conformability. The tape will radius well (go around curves).

COMMON MECHANICAL FIXING ISSUES Aesthetics
High Assembly/Design Cost
“Cheap” sounding/Noisy
Finishing after assembly
Clean bond specified (designer/architect)
Fixturing/cure time required
Unsightly fasteners (rivets)
High Labour skill level Many holes to drill Two components required (gasket/fastener)
Durability

Material Limitations
Environmental/solvent exposure
Differential thermal expansion
Fatigue failure
Galvanic corrosion (metals)
Holes place for corrosion
Thicker than required

the Challenges of Mechanical Fixing
ORABOND® UHB-Tapes - FEATURES & BENEFITS Spreads load and stress across the plane of the bond
=
No stress points (compared to mechanical fixings) and excellent load-bearing capabilities
Stops metal fatigue and mechanical degradation
=
Better performance than fixings such as screws, nuts and bolts
Provides invisible fixing and bonding
=
Aesthetic enhancement, no visible screw heads
Replaces spot welding
=
No distortion of sheet metal and no welding beads need to be ground down.
Highly durable
=
Resilient performance in all weather conditions
Visoelastic foam characteristics allow stress relaxation
=
Withstand thermal expansion and contraction movements in the joint
Excellent dampening properties
=
Absorbs properties such as vibration, shock, absorption and sealing
Versatile fixing solution
=
Bonds to a wide variety of surfaces
Better choice of bond/fixing
=
Reduces re-finishing work, touch-ups and clean-up time
Improves productivity
=
Quick to use, clean, safe and economic
Complete seal can be achieved
=
Non mechanical fixing means no punctures, holes or damage to bonded substrates and eliminates opportunity for rusting

Surfaces to which the material will be applied must be cleaned thoroughly of dust, grease or any contaminants. It is the end users responsibility to verify painted surfaces are completely cured prior to adhesive tape application. Cleaned with an appropriate solvent; preferably IPA no more than 15 minutes prior to bonding.
Typically full bond is reached after 72 hours. (50% at 20 minutes, 90% at 24 hours.) 8
