Product Name
Bron BT-3869 "Golden Bond" Premium White Trophy & Banner Tape
Brief Description
Bron BT-3869 "Golden Bond" is a premium, industrial-grade, double-sided adhesive tape, often referred to as "Mustard Liner Tape." It features a white PVC film carrier coated on both sides with a modified acrylic adhesive. Engineered for versatility and durability, this tape provides a strong, reliable, and long-lasting bond across a wide array of surfaces.
Popular Applications & Uses
- Attaching and bonding various materials- Mounting applications, including signage and displays- Assembly of trophies and plaques- Hemming and seaming of banners, including vinyl banners- Creating pole pockets for banners without sewing- Securing point-of-sale (POS) displays- General bonding applications where reliability and performance are critical- Bonding moldings and trims in the furniture industry- Fixing covers and handles in the audio, household appliance, and electrical industries
Industries that Commonly Use It
- Sign & Display: For signage assembly, banner hemming, and mounting displays.- General Manufacturing: For various bonding and mounting applications requiring durable adhesion.- Distributers & Resellers: As a key product offered by industrial tape suppliers.- Fabrication: In the creation of custom signs, displays, and other bonded assemblies.- Retail, Retail Stores: For installing banners, promotional materials, and point-of-sale displays.- Furniture: For bonding trims, bars, and laminates.- Metal Fabrication: For bonding to metal surfaces in various assemblies.- Plastic Fabrication: For bonding plastic components and surfaces.- Special Effects/ Scenic Design: For temporary or permanent mounting in theatrical and event productions.
Special and Unique Features
- **Solvent Resistant:** Helps protect bonded surfaces from many solvent and water-based solutions, ensuring bond integrity in challenging environments.- **Humidity Resistant:** Maintains strong adhesion and durability even in damp or high-humidity conditions, suitable for both indoor and outdoor use.- **UV Resistant:** Designed to withstand prolonged exposure to ultraviolet (UV) light without degradation, preventing adhesive breakdown and ensuring long-term outdoor performance.- **Plasticizer Resistant:** Effectively resists plasticizers, which are common in vinyl materials, simplifying the assembly of signage and displays and preventing adhesive migration.- **High Initial Tack:** Provides a very high immediate bond upon application, facilitating quick and secure assembly.- **High Coating Weight:** Allows for good bonding performance even on rough or dusty surfaces.
Key Properties
- **Adhesive Type:** Modified acrylic (tackified acrylic)- **Carrier:** White PVC Film- **Total Thickness:** Approximately 8.9 mil to 9 mil- **Color:** White (tape), often with a yellow coated paper release liner- **Bonding Performance:** Excellent adhesive strength and durability, even on low energy surfaces.- **Temperature Stability:** Performs well in a broad temperature range, maintaining adhesion under varying conditions.- **Aging Resistance:** Designed for long-term durability and resistance to aging.
Surface Compatibility
- Paper and Cardboard- Metal (including varnish and high energy surfaces)- Glass- Plastics (including vinyl, acrylic, and low energy surfaces)- Foam board- Rough or slightly dirty substrates- Treated surfaces
Known backups / known substitutes
- Orafol Orabond 1397PP (a strong banner tape alternative)- MegaTape (double-sided banner hem alternative, often transparent film)- Other premium double-sided tapes specifically designed for signage and display applications- Double-sided foam tape (for certain mounting applications)- Carpet tape (for temporary, indoor banner hemming)- 3M VHB Tape (for high bond strength applications)- Tesa 4965 (clear double-sided tape)
Comparison Note
Bron BT-3869 "Golden Bond" stands out as a premium solution due to its comprehensive resistance profile (solvent, humidity, UV, plasticizer) and high-tack modified acrylic adhesive on a durable PVC film carrier. While general-purpose double-sided tapes or even some carpet tapes might offer temporary adhesion for banners or light mounting, they typically lack the specialized resistances and long-term durability required for outdoor applications, demanding environments, or professional signage and trophy assembly. Its ability to bond effectively to challenging surfaces like low-energy plastics and rough substrates, combined with its robust environmental resistance, positions it above many standard adhesive tapes for critical bonding and mounting tasks.
