Composite moulding tapes for Aerospace & Aviation industry
Why ABI Tape's composite moulding tapes
ABI Tape composite moulding tapes are used in the production of composite parts like aircraft body parts, bearing walls, intermediate supports, structural applications and components.
In the aerospace industry, some composite bonding procedures and practices require tapes without silicone adhesive. We therefore have polyester and polyimide tapes with rubber and acrylic adhesive available. The tapes are available in several thicknesses, adhesive systems, colors and other characteristics to be used in the construction of these parts.
Depending on the exact use of the tape, the maximum temperature and pressure, the needed colour, etc. a different tape may be chosen. Mostly the tapes are used to mask bond lines, to avoid or reduce flash (“the spill-over over the resin”), to protect the mould or different layers in the composite moulding process or simply to hold the foils, vacuum bag and films on their place.

Technical features ABI Tape's polyester tapes
In a highly technical market it is best to talk facts and figures to explain on how are tapes are so applicable within composite moulding applications:
Temperature
High thermal resistance: up to 203°C
Composite Bonding Design
High adhesion to different materials, especially on moulds
Masking Applications
Temperature resistant and different adhesion levels
Easy Removal
Unique proprietary formulations as to withstand tearing when removing the flash tape

FAQs
What is the difference between the different polyester tapes?
Difference lays mainly in the backing thickness (thinner - thicker) and the adhesive system (silicone-rubber).
What can I use polyester tapes for?
In the aerospace industry, composite moulding tapes are mainly used for holding down, masking, isolating, jacketing, high temperature protection and flash protection applications.
What is the difference with other polyester tapes?
In the aerospace industry, some composite bonding procedures and practices require tapes without silicone adhesive. We therefore have polyester and polyimide tapes with rubber and acrylic adhesive available.
Are die-cuts possible with your polyester tapes?
Yes, we do have a whole range of standard die-cuts. We can also produce bespoke die-cuts, following your requirements.
Can I order polyester tapes other than those mentioned on your website?
We can develop togheter with you a unique polyester tape if the quantities are sufficient. Please contact us for more details.
