Sixty-plus adhesive, test and converting terms explained without catalogue language, plus a single place to request the documents that apply to your grade and market.
Two resource pages that exist because buyers kept asking the same questions: a glossary of the terms our quotations and reports use, and a document library that lists what we can issue per grade instead of promising a generic pack.
Adhesive chemistry terms, test methods and converting vocabulary, written for the person who has to defend a choice internally. Each entry states what the term means in practice and which standard defines the number.
TDS, MSDS, RoHS and REACH statements, the ISO 9001 certificate, first-article reports for converted parts, capability profiles and packing specifications. Documents are requested per grade and per market, because a statement that covers one construction does not cover another.
The questions our sales team answers by email now have a page each: constructions, tolerances, ordering terms, freight and destination charges, written for buyers who have to put the answer in an internal file.

A single English reference for the grades we stock, the parts we cut and the documents we issue, written for buyers who have to qualify a supplier before they can place a first order.

Photographs taken in our own Bao'an plant, now joined by photographs of the tape we actually supply, sit on the factory, product and market pages; the remaining slots stay marked as reference images.
Read the updateThree examples of where two suppliers appear to disagree and are actually describing different tests.
| Term | How it gets used loosely | What to ask instead |
|---|---|---|
| Peel | Quoted as one number for a tape | Which angle, which substrate, which age and which standard method produced it |
| Tack | Presented as a single quick-stick value | Ball tack, probe tack or loop tack, because the three do not rank the same tape the same way |
| Thickness | Given for the adhesive in one row and the construction in the next | Total thickness with liner, and whether the figure is nominal or a tolerance band |
| Temperature range | Used as both storage and service | Which one, sustained or peak, and against which substrate |
| Removal | Described as clean without a time limit | The removal window: one hour, one day, one week, after which cure changes everything |
A supplier can be entirely honest and still send the wrong paper: a statement written for a family when you are buying one grade inside it, or a certificate whose scope does not name the site that made your part. The library exists to make the request specific.
