Anyone can stick things down with adhesive tape, right? You've probably already successfully completed one or two home projects using masking tape or classic duct tape.
But did you also think about the surface and prepare it properly? Or check whether the adhesive tape you chose was actually suitable for the job? You can find the answers to precisely these questions, which are crucial in professional applications, in the Adhesive Tape Bonder (ATB) course. Depending on the application, it is important that your adhesive bond delivers what it promises.
Precisely because adhesive tapes are becoming increasingly important as a professional joining technology in industry, assembly, and processing, the knowledge gained from the Adhesive Tape Bonder course is indispensable. They are used in many semi-structural applications, such as the installation of protective strips, damping stiffeners, or exterior mirrors in vehicle construction, applications in window and facade construction, and in furniture construction. In these applications, proper preparation and selection are decisive for the quality and durability of the bond.
Have you already completed the adhesive bonder or adhesive specialist course and are wondering why you should participate in the Adhesive-Tape-Bonder course?
The course offers you the opportunity to learn more about adhesive tapes, their properties, and how they are processed than was previously possible in the DVS®/EWF adhesive practitioner or DVS®/EWF adhesive specialist courses. You will gain both theoretical knowledge and practical skills that you need for the professional use of adhesive tapes.
In combination with the preliminary course “Fundamentals of Adhesive Technology for ATB,” you will establish a solid foundation for safe, documented adhesive bonds in your company.
