Applications

Aerospace and Aircraft Composite Bonding

Manufactured from polyester and polytetrafluorethylene (PTFE) films, Kevlar® and PTFE-fiberglass tapes, multi-composite and foils, Saint-Gobain Performance Plastics CHR® brand Aerospace-Aircraft Composite Bonding tapes are important aids in manufacturing processes and also fulfill vital on-board functions in the high tech Air and Space industries. These industries need tapes that will insulate, protect and act as flame retardants at high temperatures and in other severe environments.

CHR® tapes can be used in advanced tool masking, vacuum sealing, airframe construction, painting/stripping, electrical insulation or wire wrapping. Using the correct tape for the situation will give you peace of mind. You can trust CHR® brand Aerospace-Aircraft Composite Bonding tapes to provide quality and reliability at a cost-effective price.

General Purpose Industrial

Saint-Gobain Performance Plastics has combined trusted fabrics and adhesives from Chemfab and Furon (makers of brands such as CHEMSTIK® and CHR®) to create a range of high performance pressure-sensitive adhesive tapes for the packaging industry. These tapes are constructed of fiberglass fabric impregnated with pure polytetrafluorethylene (PTFE) and coated with premium adhesive formulated for high temperature operation.

The range also includes tapes with acrylic adhesive, ideal for those applications where non-stick or anti-friction properties are required but extreme heat resistance is not.

Saint-Gobain Performance Plastics CHR® brand general purpose adhesive tapes are not designed for specific applications; they are versatile products suitable for use in a variety of light industrial and commercial situations.

Electrical Insulation and Isolation

Saint-Gobain Performance Plastics CHR® brand electrical/electronic tapes are premium products constructed of polyester films, fiberglass fabrics, papers and foils. They have a variety of uses in modern technological environments, providing a cost-effective method of holding, insulating, isolating, masking, shielding and protecting coils, transformers and many other electrical components.

Industrial Non-Stick

Saint-Gobain Performance Plastics CHR® brand slip, anti-friction and release tapes, with their high speed durability and long life-span at high temperatures, have been designed specifically for the packaging industry. These tapes combine backings and adhesives from trusted market leaders Chemfab and Furon (makers of brands such as CHEMSTIK® and CHR®) into one high performance package.

Constructed of fiberglass fabric impregnated pure polytetrafluorethylene (PTFE) and coated with premium high temperature adhesives, Saint-Gobain tapes are a superior product. For those applications where just non-stick or anti-friction properties are required, the range includes tapes with acrylic adhesives suitable for use at lower temperatures.

Heat Sealing

Saint-Gobain Performance Plastics CHR® brand pressure-sensitive adhesive tapes, with their high speed durability and long life-span at high temperatures, have been designed specifically for the packaging industry. The CHR® series uses fiberglass fabric impregnated with pure polytetrafluorethylene (PTFE) and coated with premium adhesives. These tapes provide superior non-stick surfaces which will allow your equipment to work more smoothly and efficiently. Widely used on L-bar sealers, jaws, drawers, irons and form-fill-seal machinery, CHR® tapes can be applied to equipment used to seal cellophane, polyethylene, polypropylene, wax paper, foils, and other laminated packaging materials.

CHR® tapes are available with two types of adhesive: silicone or acrylic. The premium silicone type is suitable for use at high temperatures, while tape with acrylic adhesive is ideal for those applications where only non-stick or anti-friction properties are required.

Thermal, Plasma, Flame Spray

CHR® brand thermal spray tapes from leading manufacturer Saint-Gobain are coated with a pressure-sensitive silicone adhesive capable of performing well in temperatures as high as 260oC (500F). This range of tape, with its physically and chemically unique backing material, is designed to meet the specific needs of the thermal spray industry.

CHR® thermal spray tapes have been tested in a wide range of grit-blasting and thermal spray applications, and even meet the special demands of HVOF. CHR® tapes effectively protect adjacent surfaces from the spray and also provide excellent thermal and abrasion resistance.
