Kynar® Film Tape

CS Hyde Company announced the availability of KYNStick® Kynar® Film Tape with Pressure Sensitive Adhesive. This is the first time Kynar Film has been made available with a pressure-sensitive adhesive system. KYNStick Tape has a thin gauge Kynar (PVDF) film substrate (.005” or .010” thick) with an Acrylic or 3M VHB (Very High Bond) Adhesive. Kynar PVDF film can be very hard to bond to other substrates. The pressure- sensitive adhesive system allows for ease of application, bonding, positioning and fastening.

KYNStick is semi-transparent and almost colorless. It offers clarity, light transmittance and visual inspection of materials underneath the tape. It ships with a peel-off liner. KYNStick Tape is a superior barrier material. It offers excellent chemical and corrosion resistance and high tensile and dielectric strength. It has low permeability to water vapor and many gases. Kynar (PVDF) film has extremely high purity, making it a good candidate for food applications. When specified, Kynar film complies with FDA regulation 21 CFR 177.510, USDA, USP XX Class VI, 3A sanitary standards and meets ASTM D3222 resin specifications. KYNStick Tape has high impact resistance. It is tough, durable and has good thermal stability. It withstands temperatures up to 300°F.

Compared to many thermoplastics Kynar (PVDF) has excellent resistance to creep and fatigue, yet KYNStick components are tough, flexible and transparent. Kynar® Film is stable to UV and weather effects. In cold, heat, sunlight and humidity Kynar Film does not wear out or get brittle. Kynar has low NBS smoke generation and superior LOI.
