Scrim Adhesive

Scrim Adhesive

At Advanced Seals & Gaskets, we offer a wide range of self-adhesive tapes, many of which are manufactured in-house. One of our most popular products is scrim adhesive tape. Adhesive tapes typically consist of a layer of glue (adhesive) coated onto a silicone release paper or liner, with the option of a carrier. The choice of adhesive and carrier depends on the intended application.

Scrim adhesive tape features a release liner and a mesh-like layer, known as the scrim carrier, coated with glue. The scrim is made from an open-weave polyester material that resembles thread, arranged in a crisscrossed pattern to form a mesh, giving the tape its distinctive ladder-like appearance and name.

The scrim reinforces the material by preventing its stretching and acts as a carrier for the adhesive. Scrim adhesive can be supplied in full logs, slit coils of various widths, or laminated to any of our sponge, rubber, cork, plastic, or foam products.

What is Scrim Adhesive?

Scrim adhesive is a self-adhesive tape where the backing contains a mesh layer between the glue and the release liner. This layer is typically in a ladder pattern (ladder scrim) but can also be manufactured in a diamond pattern (diamond scrim) to order.

The scrim reinforces the adhesion, reducing the risk of stretching the material during application or removal. Scrim adhesive tape is versatile and provides reliable adhesion across a variety of substrates. For more details about scrim adhesive, our team is available to provide guidance and advice.
