Sheldahl has applied an exact thickness of dry, thermosetting adhesive to the yarn surface of the tape. The expected results when using this tape are reduced splice thickness, increased joint consistency, reduced labor and decrease solvent usage.

Uncoated tapes are pre-primed to obtain maximum bond strength when using a thermosetting adhesive. The standard products consist of polyester film reinforced with polyester yarns. Below is listed our standard product line with suggested applications.

Fibral non-woven abrasive material can be converted into endless belts. The bulk and openness of the fibral backing requires additional adhesive, additional drying time, lower pressure and lower press temperatures than standard coated abrasive belt making techniques.
