Industrial
Specialty Materials, Gaskets, Insulation, and Tapes for Industrial Applications
Industrial-use pressure sensitive adhesive (PSA) tape has a wide range of uses across various applications. It’s used in everything from the manufacturing and assembly of products to gasketing, shielding, bonding, surface protection, sealing, insulating, and so much more.
At Engineered Materials, we supply and fabricate a wide range of industrial adhesive tape, gaskets, and other specialty materials for industrial uses. All our products are customized using sophisticated fabrication techniques that make them unique to your product or application.
We help our industrial clients with everything from material selection to custom fitting of materials, getting you the solution you need to your tape or gasketing issues. Our fabrication capabilities include laminating, slitting, spooling, precision die-cutting, laser cutting, knife cutting, waterjet cutting, and more.
Whether you’re looking to bond two irregular surfaces together, seal air and moisture, gap fill, insulate or shield heat or cold, or distribute and limit stress, we can help you create a custom piece that gets the job done.

Discovery
We take the time to understand your adhesive and gasketing needs, asking the right questions to get you the best solution for your application. What materials are you working with? What are the operating conditions? Are there environmental conditions that must be considered, including temperature and humidity levels, potential for vibrations and shock, potential contact with solvents, chemicals, or fuels, direct or indirect exposure to ultraviolet radiation? We work closely with you to get you the products you need.
Material Selection
Choosing the right materials depends on the surfaces being bonded, their texture, and the environment in which the product will be used. High surface energy (HSE) materials like metal and certain plastics (acrylonitrile butadiene styrene, polystyrene, polycarbonate, etc., may use firmer, stronger acrylic tapes, while low surface energy (LSE) materials like powder-coated or painted metals and polyethylene may require highly tackified acrylic or rubber tapes. Using the wrong PSA tape on a surface will cause the adhesive to be ineffective and the part to detach. We help you select the right material and adhesive coat weight based on the products and their operating conditions.
Custom Fabrication
We custom fabricate all our materials to create the perfect fitting part for your product, every time. From laminating to slitting, die cutting, kiss cuts, laser and waterjet cutting, and so much more, we have the capabilities and experience to create any custom shape that fits your adhesive, gasketing, sealing, or insulation needs. Not sure exactly what you need? No worries! Our parts design specialists can help you with product design, prototyping, testing, and implementation of brand-new parts for your products!
