ORABOND 3598 ORABOND 3601 ORABOND 3599 26 www.orafolamericas.com Engineered to Perform Better ORABOND 3600 ORABOND 3597 What makes UHB tapes bond so
well ORABOND UHB Ultra High Bond tapes bond to a wide variety of surfaces. The viscoelastic properties flow characteristics of the UHB tapes allow the adhesive to flow into the microscopic surface of materials. The adhesive bond is very strong when there is good wet out maximum adhesive contact under pressure with the substrates to be bonded. Abrading the surface to be bonded actually improves the strength of the bond. This creates a rough surface for a greater adhesive bonding area. The elastic characteristics of the foam give it very good internal cohesive strength to support loads in both static and dynamic shear. It also gives the foam very good peel adhesion strength. The tape is soft and very flexible which means it has great conformability. The tape will radius well go around curves.
