Ultra-Scrim Wallboard Jointing Tape
Discover the Uniqueness of Hillcroft’s Ultra-Scrim Adhesive Wallboard Jointing Tape: A Game-Changer for OEM Manufacturers
At Hillcroft, we understand the challenges that OEM manufacturers face when working with modern caravan wallboards, especially when it comes to ensuring that wallboard tapes remain securely in place over time. Traditional woodgrain cellulose self-adhesive tapes have been effective for many applications, but when it comes to the more complex paper-backed vinyl wallpapers, a new level of innovation is required. That’s where our Ultra-Scrim adhesive wallboard jointing tape comes in—a product specifically engineered to meet the demands of today’s advanced materials.
The Hillcroft Solution: Ultra-Scrim Adhesive Wallboard Jointing Tape
Hillcroft’s Ultra-Scrim adhesive wallboard jointing tape is designed to overcome these challenges with unmatched performance. Developed in close collaboration with leading caravan manufacturers in the OEM sector, this innovative tape offers several key benefits:
- Superior Adhesion: Our Ultra-Scrim jointing tape boasts unparalleled resistance to water, solvents, and plasticizers, ensuring a strong, long-lasting bond.
- Enhanced Flexibility: The adhesive is formulated to be sufficiently fluid to adhere across the entire surface, even in the presence of complex emboss patterns.
- Resilience: Ultra-Scrim jointing tape maintains its integrity and adhesion even in environments with low surface energy materials and fluctuating humidity levels.
Why Standard Tapes Fall Short
When working with vinyl wallpapers, particularly those with paper backings, manufacturers often encounter several issues that can lead to peeling wallboard tape:
- Moisture Absorption: Paper backings can act as a wick, absorbing moisture from the air, leading to lateral curl as the paper dries out and shrinks.
- Emboss Patterns: Modern vinyl foils often feature intricate emboss patterns, creating peaks and troughs that require an adhesive capable of covering the entire surface area effectively.
- Low Surface Energy: Many vinyl foils have low surface energy (below 36 dynes/cm), which makes it difficult for standard adhesives to bond securely.
- Plasticizer Migration: Plasticizers from the foil-covered boards can migrate to the tape’s adhesive, weakening the bond over time.
- Differing Material Strengths: The different tensile strengths of the materials involved can cause longitudinal curl if the tape is stretched before application.
