Have you ever wondered whether your curing ovens could make better use of all those British thermal units before venting the waste heat? With heat-activated structural epoxy adhesive tapes, they can. These tapes can combine components into assemblies, replace unsightly welds or rivets, join dissimilar metals without the threat of corrosion and provide local stiffening, all while being cured in an existing electrocoat (e-coat) or powder coat oven cure process.
