iglidur® tribotape® V400
The tribotape® liner from igus® is suitable for lining various surfaces and shapes subjected to tribological stress, for optimising transport tasks, for machine beds, etc. With a thickness of only 0.5 - 1mm (including adhesive tape + 0.21mm), the space requirement is very low. The easy processing - it can be cut with scissors - and the optional self-adhesive back of the liner result in almost unlimited application possibilities.
The iglidur® tribotape® liner is also available with self-adhesive strips for quick and easy installation.
In tests, the highly wear-resistant and medium and temperature-resistant iglidur® V400 tribo-tape showed up to 10 times higher wear resistance compared to special products for machine beds and similar.
Limits of bonding with adhesive tapes
There are limits to the adhesive strength of the adhesive tape with which this tribotape® is equipped. Unlike structural bonding, a wide variety of environmental influences can affect the adhesive system and lead to the detachment of the substrates.
High-strength, durable adhesive bonds can generally only be achieved using chemically reactive one- and two-component adhesives. In these cases, adhesives, substrates and the pre-treatment of the substrates must be precisely matched to one another. The variety of possible combinations does not allow us to make any specifications or recommendations here.
We expressly point out that the adhesive tape of the igus® tribotape® can only facilitate the assembly and fixation of the tape. Experience has shown that the adhesive strength of the tape decreases over time. igus assumes no liability for a sufficient adhesive system based on the adhesive tape.
