EXPLORE-AERATED A HESKINS SERVICE

Non-Slip Tape on Aerating Machine for Easy Application

At Heskins, we are committed to delivering tailored solutions that meet the specific requirements of our customers. One such specialist service is our Aerated Tape Service – a custom conversion process where we perforate our adhesive tapes with fine holes using precision machinery.

This aeration process is particularly valuable when breathability, pressure equalisation, or moisture venting is essential to the tape’s performance in its end application.

What is Aerated Tape?

Aerated tape refers to any adhesive tape that has been punctured with small, evenly distributed holes. Using advanced, in-house machinery, we can modify a wide variety of our tapes – including anti-slip, safety, and marking tapes – to include this micro-perforation without compromising adhesive performance or structural integrity.

Why Choose Aerated Tape?

Aeration offers several practical benefits:

Moisture Venting: Prevents moisture entrapment between tape and surface, which is particularly important in high-humidity or outdoor environments
Outgassing Relief: Ideal for applications on plastics, metals, or composites where outgassing might otherwise form bubbles or weaken adhesion
Improved Application on Sensitive Surfaces: Reduces the risk of blistering or air pockets during application, especially on uneven or curved surfaces
