Do you need a technical drawing of the surface that we want to protect?
No, we just need the maximum width of the surface that needs to be protected.
Do I need any tools to apply AutoWrap?
Yes. A squeegee will help to avoid air bubbles. We also have AutoWrap cutters available to prevent that the AutoWrap will pass the edges of the surface. Using a dispenser is also recommended to facilitate and speed up the application process.
Are there any conditions which must be fulfilled before applying AutoWrap?
Yes. In order to assure a sufficient tack level, make sure that the surface is dry and dust-free.

AutoCover
Do you need a technical drawing of the surface that we want to protect?
Yes, a technical drawing will help us during the RFQ-process.
However, to make the perfect fitting sample, a technical drawing is not sufficient.
We prefer to receive the actual car part in order to translate the 3D part into a 2D car cover. Afterwards, our automotive team will come on-site to do a fitting test and make modifications if needed.

Composite Moulding Industry
Aerospace
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. Â
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?
