Adhesive Tapes & Speciality Materials

Our unique combination of coating capabilities and innovative technical teams drives the development of custom, multi-functional materials for specific end uses.

Adhesive Tapes & Speciality Materials

High Performance Labelstock

Polyester and polypropylene-based materials with custom topcoats and adhesives that have exceptional durability, performance and print quality.
Typically used for marking and identification labels
UL- and cUL-approved materials
Additional information can be printed using thermal transfer (POD) technology

High Temperature Materials

Polyimide-based materials with unique topcoats that have high temperature resistance and excellent print quality, designed for use in printed circuit board assembly.
Designed to withstand harsh environments
Abrasion, heat and chemical resistance
Suitable for top and bottom-side PCB assembly, where tracking is required throughout the manufacturing process

Security Application Materials

Polyester-based materials embedded with overt, semi-covert and covert security features.
Labelstock includes tamper-evident features of voiding and destructibility
Used in box seals and other secure packaging applications
Embedded features allow brand owners to identifity counterfeit goods, and products that have been tampered with

Adhesive Tapes

Double-sided protective and transfer tapes utilising acrylic, rubber and silicone adhesives.
Used for fabrication and protection within electronic devices
Applications include lamination, bonding, positioning, rework and protection
Designed to create multi-layer constructions that address specific customer requirements

Thermal Tapes & Pads

CCL Olympic acrylate-based thermally conductive materials are used to provide a preferential heat transfer path away from heat generating components.
The very soft acrylic composition allows a low load during compression, and it provides a tacky surface for optimal contact to any substrate.
The non-silicone based products are ideal for automotive and electronic applications.
Can be customized to optimize softness, tack and thermal conductivity

Acrylic Foam Tapes

CCL Olympic acrylic foam tape materials are engineered to provide a high performance bonding solution throughout a wide variety of applications
Offers a cost effective solution within many sectors including consumer electronics, automotive and industrial
Key features: High bond strength, chemical resistance, impact resistance, waterproof to IPX8
Low surface energy (LSE) options available.
CCL Olympic also offers customisation of key features to suit complex applications
