Biscor Self Adhesive Page

Biscor fabrics are offered with an assortment of adhesives. Individually adapted for optimum performance on each application. Our technical sales staff can offer further advice.

Bisca-Stic general purpose silicone (P.S.A)*
Temperature resistance: Minus – 73oC to Plus + 240oC

Bisca-Stic acrylic adhesive (High Tack)
Temperature resistance: Minus – 4oC to +177oC

*PSA = pressure sensitive adhesive

General care and application advice

Above 240oC the adhesive eventually degrades and is reduced to a white silica powder.
Store in a dark dry atmosphere at 15-25oC and 45–70% relative humidity.
Always apply to dry, cool, clean surfaces which are free of grease and or solvents.
Avoid applying adhesive tapes to rough, pitted, dimpled surfaces. Air pockets become trapped beneath the adhesive. Heat causes expanding air tape to rise.
Silicone Pressure Sensitive Adhesive is often dry to the touch. The 'tack' of an adhesive is not an indication of peel strength. Bisca-Stic adhesive tapes should be applied evenly but firmly.
Where the fabric is expected to remain in place for long periods (i.e. up to several years) the adhesives can be further stabilized by heat treatment on installation. This system is usually used with our material in roll covering applications (paper and textile industries), and in platen covering, where inherent heating is on hand.

Typical Thermosetting Cycles are:

Silicone Adhesive: 4 hours at 200oC
Acrylic Adhesive: 2 hours at 120oC / 1 hour at 149oC
