challenges and solutions

Influence of humidity on adhesion Construction takes place all year round irrespective of cold or heat, humid or dry climatic conditions. For trouble free bonding the adhesive must withstand all these climatic conditions. How is an adhesive formulated to accommodate all these conditions? Are there differences in adhesives to bond successfully outdoors and indoors? One of the major challenges to adhesives is moisture and humidity. It goes without saying that a precondition for good adhesion is a clean, dust-free and grease-free surface but once bonded the adhesive could be subjected to rain or moisture before the roof has been closed. The adhesive must be designed to absorb the water and thereafter release it to the atmosphere during warmer weather. Inside a house there are many sources of moisture creation; showering, cooking, breathing. For a healthy indoor environment all of this moisture must capable of migrating outdoors. This is the major reason why roof constructions use a water vapour barrier control layer, i.e. the roof membrane. The adhesive used to bond the roof membrane is also capable of absorbing moisture. During periods of warmth resulting in roof temperature increase the moisture will be released from the adhesive to migrate outside through the roof membrane thus controlling the relative humidity for a healthy, indoor environment.

Influence of cold on adhesion Pressure sensitive adhesives become hard and glassy-like with decreasing temperature. This phenomenon is due to the glass transition temperature (Tg) of the adhesive. At lower temperatures the molecular chains of the adhesive become more rigid reducing tack and adhesion. Thus the lower the Tg the better the adhesive will perform under cold conditions. ATP adhesives have a very low Tg temperature to ensure optimum performance in the cold. However for trouble-free bonding during cold conditions we recommend to store the adhesive tape rolls always between 15 °C – 25 °C. This will help to adhere to cold surfaces.

The thick adhesive layer in ATP tapes Why does ATP use a thick pressure sensitive adhesive layer in our tape construction? A house is built using a wide variety of materials; stone, concrete, wood plastics, metal and glass. Not all surfaces are smooth; some are rough, porous or highly structured. In order to achieve good bonding with the material the adhesive must flow and contact the complete surface. This is easy for smooth plastic but for a rough, porous material the adhesive layer must be thick enough to flow into the pores and make contact with the whole surface. Maximum surface contact results in maximum adhesion. For best results always ensure the surfaces to be bonded are clean, dry, dust- and grease-free.
