Frequently asked questions
An Adhesive Converter is a lot of things! We specialise in creating bespoke shapes, sizes, and material combinations of all different kinds of adhesive tapes, depending on your project’s needs and dimensions.
In short – no! We are not an adhesive supplier. A converter is the next step on the production line - If you need a certain type of material or tape toll cutting to a new size or shape, we’re here to help! But we are not a wholesale, bulk supplier of those raw materials.
Our range of materials for projects is near endless! Whether you need a very specific type of 3M VHB tape, or only know you need something waterproof, we can work with our suppliers to get that sorted for whatever your needs are.
A general overview of your project or problem you’re facing, and part dimensions are always useful, but don’t worry if you have no idea about material specifications or what would be best to use – that’s where a lot of our knowledge lies, and we can help you find the exact fit for you.
Adhesive is actually incredibly strong, and when used and applied correctly, it’s even stronger than most traditional joining or sealing methods. For example, a lot of planes have major components actually stuck together with adhesive tapes – and it’s considered the safest form of travel!
