Compac Corporation Expands Product Line with Launch of New High-Performing Netbond™ Adhesive Tapes
Bloomfield Hills, Mich. – April 19, 2007 - Compac Corporation – a TriMas Company and global leader in providing custom solutions in coating, laminating and converting flexible substrates – announces the launch of its latest innovation – NetBond™30, a reinforced acrylic adhesive transfer tape. NetBond 30, an extension of Compac’s NetBond line of products, is primarily utilized for foam and gasket fabricating with applications in the automotive, appliance and industrial markets.
High performance NetBond 30 gets its name from its unique acrylic adhesion that is coated on synthetic fiber netting also known as scrim. NetBond 30, which is water resistant and functions as a general purpose laminating tape, features a moisture stable liner and provides dependable adhesion to a wide variety of foam types. It also differentiates from other products on the market with its ability to adapt and form to curved surfaces.
“We understand the challenges that our customers face. As a custom solutions provider, we listen to our customers in an effort to develop new and creative products,” said Ben Wong, vice president, sales & marketing for Compac. “Our NetBond products offer end users an alternative to the typical double-coated or transfer tapes that are limited in their applications. The new NetBond30 is a natural extension in the product line, allowing customers to achieve strong adhesive properties in high moisture environments.”
NetBond’s synthetic fiber netting provides additional benefit by reinforcing and strengthening thin foams. As a result of its unique properties, it can adhere to such diverse materials and surfaces as ether, ester, polyethylene, neoprene and vinyl nitrile foams. The tape also possesses an easily removable release liner.
Compac introduced the original line of NetBond products, which includes NetBond 10 and NetBond 20, nearly six years ago. Along with NetBond 30, the company also introduces two distinct products— NetBond 10-60 and NetBond 5.
NetBond 5, an entry-level product, blends quality adhesive performance. NetBond 10, available in 60-inch web widths, allows foam fabricators to laminate the tape to foam without a loss in scrap, thereby maximizing the performance and efficiency in the lamination process. The combination of these three new products, along with the standard NetBond 10 and 20, gives foam fabricators a cost effective and extensive selection of performance tapes to meet their needs for particular applications.
