Marian manufactures custom die-cut components using pressure sensitive adhesive (PSA) tapes to join two substrates, bonding them together. Marian has established strong relationships with world-class tape and adhesive suppliers. Our solutions using die-cut tapes are ideal for bonding, joining, and assembly of two substrates.
There are many formulations of PSAs designed to obtain a desired level of adhesion to a wide variety of surfaces. However, as the name implies, all PSA products require adequate pressure to be applied to achieve full surface contact.
Be sure to contact us if you have any questions regarding bonding, joining, and assembly of substrates.
Commonly Converted Bonding Materials
