They ensure clean paint edges here on Earth and are used to attach tools, secure cables, and make repairs in space. Adhesive tape can also be lifesavers: During the Apollo 13 mission, an improvised CO₂ filter held together with tape saved the crew.
But whether you're high above or down here on the ground, some key points remain the same. After all, the adhesive tape needs to stick. Is your surface prepared or dirty? Have you checked whether the selected adhesive tape is suitable for your surface? You'll learn why these questions are important and how to bond professionally with adhesive tape in the Adhesive-Tape-Bonder-Course (ATB). Depending on the application, it's crucial that your bond reliably delivers what it promises.
The knowledge gained from the adhesive tape bonder is indispensable, especially because adhesive tapes are becoming increasingly important as a professional joining technology in industry, assembly, and processing. They are used in many semi-structural applications, such as the assembly of protective strips, damping and stiffening elements, or exterior mirrors in automotive construction, applications in window and facade construction, and furniture manufacturing. In these applications, proper preparation and selection determine the quality and durability of the bond.
You have already completed the Adhesive Practitioner or Adhesive Specialist course and are now wondering why you should take part in the Adhesive Tape Bonder course?
This course offers you the opportunity to learn more about adhesive tapes, their properties, and processing methods than was previously possible in the DVS®/EWF Adhesive Practitioner or DVS®/EWF Adhesive Specialist courses. You will gain practical experience by gaining both the theoretical knowledge and practical skills you need for the professional use of adhesive tapes.
👉 In combination with the preliminary course "Fundamentals of Adhesive Bonding Technology for ATB," you will create a solid foundation for reliable, documented adhesive bonds in your company. Like the DVS®/EWF Adhesive Bonding Practitioner and DVS®/EWF Adhesive Bonding Specialist courses, we also offer the Adhesive Tape Bonder course in collaboration with @Fraunhofer IFAM.
