Product Description
Bron Tapes Killer Red® Double-Sided Film Tape, billed by Bron as "The World's Greatest Double-Sided Tape™," is a permanent bonding and mounting tape built on a transparent PET (polyester) film carrier coated on both sides with a tackified acrylic adhesive and protected by an easy-to-spot red liner. It has long been a go-to for sign shops, fabricators and manufacturers who need a thin tape that holds where others let go.
Killer Red grabs on contact with no cure time, so parts can be handled right away. Its adhesive system bonds the greatest number of critical substrates, including low surface energy (LSE) plastics, and holds on metal, wood, glass, PVC, ABS, composites, rubber and vinyl. It resists plasticizers, UV, water and weather, and handles long-term service temperatures up to 212°F. At just 8.1 mils thick, it leaves a clear, low-profile bond line and slits and die cuts cleanly into custom parts.
Features & Benefits
- Instant bond: high initial adhesion with no cure time, building strength over 14 days.
- Bonds hard-to-stick surfaces: reliable adhesion to LSE plastics plus ABS, PVC, metal, wood, glass, rubber and composites.
- Plasticizer resistant: holds on flexible vinyl, EPDM rubber profiles and coated graphics.
- Weather tough: resists UV, water and weathering for indoor and outdoor use.
- Heat resistant: long-term temperature resistance up to 212°F.
- Thin and clear: 8.1 mil PET construction for flush, nearly invisible mounting.
Typical Applications
- Sign making, POP displays and trade show booth assembly
- ABS plastic parts and trim mounting in automotive and transportation
- Self-adhesive mounting of rubber and EPDM profiles, window and door components
- Decorative molding and trim attachment in furniture manufacturing
- Electronic assembly including batteries, lenses and touch screens
- Appliance assembly, aluminum and composite bonding, and photo or graphic mounting
Country of Origin: Germany.
Instructions
- Clean both surfaces so they are dry and free of dust, oil, grease and release agents. Wipe with a 50:50 mix of isopropyl alcohol and water and let dry completely.
- Apply at room temperature for best results and avoid cold or damp surfaces. Low surface energy or rough surfaces may benefit from an adhesion promoter.
- Cut the tape to length. Apply it to the first surface with the red liner facing up and press firmly along its entire length.
- Peel away the red liner, align the parts carefully and join the two surfaces. The adhesive grabs on contact, so position accurately before pressing.
- Apply firm, even pressure with a roller or by hand across the full bond area. Parts can be handled immediately, and bond strength continues to build over the following days.

hot melt rubber (synthetic)
Offers the widest range of application flexibility available. Exhibits excellent processing performance whether manually or automatically applied. Has superior tensile strength, adhesion properties and holding force which ensures consistent, reliable seals. Hot melt adhesive will bond faster to a surface which is referred to as quick-grab or quick-stick. It typically has higher tack (will feel stickier to the touch), but is also softer. It has lower heat resistance, shear resistance, and sometimes UV resistance than an acrylic adhesive. NOTE: it is called hot melt because the adhesive is applied hot by the manufacturer and then hardens as it cools (you do not need to apply heat to the tape yourself).
natural rubber
Properties are similar to that of hot melt rubber, but natural rubber often holds where other adhesives won't (recycled fibers, dust, cold, heat and heavy loads). It provides good overall adhesion and moisture resistance.
acrylic
Offer excellent performance, especially for applications in temperatures less than 40°F and greater then 120°F. It provides excellent clarity, has high shear strength, is usually more permanent/durable even when exposed to moisture, and it ages well over extended periods in fluorescent and sunlight. Since it remains clear for the life of the application and does not yellow over time it is ideal for applications such as sealing white cartons. While it has good initial adhesion it does take 24-48 hours to cure and to achieve its maximum bond strength (has gradual adhesion buildup). Another difference between hot melt rubber and acrylic adhesive is if you fold tape over making the two adhesive sides touch the acrylic adhesive will remain attached to the carrier (e.g. paper, film) while a hot melt adhesive will stick to itself and pull off of the carrier. It is the best choice for clarity, UV resistance and aging characteristics.
silicone
Is great for extreme temperature applications since silicone adhesive can work in continuous operating temperatures from -100°F to 500°F. They also exhibit good chemical resistance, retain electrical properties, and remove cleanly with little or no residue.
zinc oxide
Zinc oxide based adhesive formula is a skin-friendly adhesive which is commonly used on sports medicine tapes.
Thickness, AKA caliper or gauge, refers to the distance from one surface of a tape backing, or adhesive, to the other.
1 mil = 1/1000 of an inch
Examples: 1/16 inch = 62.5 mils; 1/32 inch = 31.25 mils
Lower gauge gloves are heavier - have thicker construction, fewer stiches knitted per inch and offer less dexterity.
Higher gauge gloves are lighter - have thinner/finer construction, more stitches knitted per inch and offer more dexterity.
Gloves offered typically runs from 7 to 18 (12 and 13 are in the middle of the scale).
