Intellectual Program Property Structural Design Management & Prototyping Material Technologies  Metals/Ceramics  Chemicals and insulation  Coatings/paints/surface materials preparation  Polymers Process Equipments Charaterization Equipments • Reactive PVD • SEM • Electrostatic spray coating • Opt. profilometer • Dip coater/Spin coater • FTIR-ATR • Surface preparation • TGA • Banbury mixer • DMA • Injection molding • DSC • Extruder • Mech. testing equip. (Sta./Dyn.) • Climatic chambers Why Adhesive Tapes?

Connection of similar and non-similar surfaces • with better craftsmanship • often not visible in the end product • good chemical resistance • variety of thickness and adhesive types for application • design flexibility • high strength • multi-functionality; adhesion, insulation and barrier and etc.
