Cortec VpCI® 170 Adhesive Foam Tape excels at corrosion protection and sealing. Unlike standard adhesive foam tapes, it incorporates Cortec's VpCI® technology, actively shielding metal surfaces from corrosion.VpCI® molecules vaporise, forming a protective layer on all metal, preventing corrosion without messy oils.This contrasts with basic foam tapes offering only passive protection through a physical barrier. Additionally, the tape boasts a high-performance adhesive for strong, long-lasting bonds to various surfaces, outperforming lower-quality alternatives prone to drying out.The closed-cell polyethylene foam is soft, conformable, and highly resistant to water, moisture, and air, surpassing open-cell foam options. Available in 1/8-inch and 1/4-inch thicknesses, it adapts to diverse needs.

We offer options of adhesive applied to ferro sheet to allow bonding to different surfaces and media, which creates a surface to receive magnets. Once bonded to a surface or media the receptive face can be used in conjunction with supamag® magnetic sheet to create graphic displays or signage.

The flexible nature of supamag® transfers to its applications, and thanks to this versatility, supamag® can be used to produce large format magnetic graphics displays, signage, promotional material or to work in conjunction with digifilm® to create rapid change, layerable retail graphics or supaferro® for changeable displays. supamag® magnetic sheet is manufactured using the highest performing ferrite material mixed with a thermoplastic binder and magnetised on one side for the maximum magnetic performance. Suitable for both roll-to-roll and flat bed printing processes with a choice of white matt, gloss vinyl or PET finish. Adhesive-backed variants are available for bonding directly to various surfaces.

Heskins surface primer is ideal for sealing porous surfaces such as wood, concrete or stone prior to application of our anti-slip tape to prevent moisture degrading the adhesive; it also greatly helps to create an extra bond on other surfaces. The normal tin size is 1 litre which covers appro­ximately 5m², it is simply brushed into place. For larger appli­cations, we can also offer 5L and 25L tins which offer substantial cost savings.

Heskins H3510 keying agent is an advance in adhesive technology, in the battle against low energy surfaces. All self-adhesive bases are liquid-based and as such, they need to ‘wet out’, which means they need friction to bond with a surface. The less friction, or energy, the less efficient the bond will be. H3510 keying agent, applied in small amounts, will increase the amount of energy in a surface and help create that efficient and durable bond. H3510 is only required for a very small amount of surfaces, normally these are PUR, some PPs etc, these surfaces typically exhibit low surface energy levels.
