Atlantic Gasket utilizes a variety of adhesive types and configurations.
The most common configurations are:

1. Single Coated

2. Double Coated

3. Transfer Tape

• Variety of materials coated with adhesive
on one side

• Ability to bond to
only one substrate

• Used to bond two substrates together

• Adhesive coating on
each side of a carrier

• Can use different adhesives on each
side of the carrier

• Carrier adds strength
to the adhesive configuration

• Used to bond two substrates together

• Provide conformability
for irregular surfaces

In order to help you select the optimum adhesive, it is important that we know as much as possible about its proposed use. Specifically – What is the application and environment under which the adhesive must perform? Also – will the adhesive be functional after use? Will additional means of fastening the gasket or product be employed? (Mechanical retention, etc.)

The most common types of adhesives we employ are:

Adhesives

Advantages

Disadvantages

Rubber Based

• Excellent tack and adhesion

• Bonds well to most surfaces

• Achieves ultimate adhesion quickly

• Economically priced

• Poor elevated temperature resistance

• Fair chemical, U.V. and oxidation resistance

Acrylic Based

• Good temperature resistance

• Good chemical, U.V. and oxidation resistance

• Re-positionable

• Low initial bond strength, but builds over time

• More expensive than rubber based

Other adhesives such as silicone, ultra high adhesion and heat activated may also be employed for specialized applications.
