Specialty Tapes is Bringing Manufacturing Back Home—And Our Customers Are Reaping the Rewards

At Specialty Tapes Manufacturing (STM), we are your choice for onshore production—because your business deserves faster turnaround times, tighter quality control, and responsive customer service. As global supply chains become more unpredictable, STM stands out by keeping our operations right here in the U.S., at our state-of-the-art facility in Wisconsin.

Unique Products and Extensive Application Experience

Thirty years of technical adhesive coating experience sets STM apart from many other tape suppliers. Our ability to coat on a broad range of adhesives and substrates provides superior solutions for special applications. Our products are provided in a wide range of products from large roll formats for automated applications to ATG tape formats for manual application.

Unique electronics products, such as anti-static tapes, provide static dissipative properties for electrical grounding, as well as high-temperature surface protection. Surface protection tapes are widely used for protection on mobile electronic devices to prevent surface contamination and scratches. Polyimide or Kapton single coated and double coated tapes are used for high temperature bonding and assembly. Differential adhesive, double coated tapes are coated with a silicone adhesive on side one and an acrylic adhesive on side two; their unique properties permanently bond materials, such as silicone keypads to mobile devices.

Industrial specialty tapes include silicone adhesive tapes for splicing, powder coating and high temperature bonding applications. Fiberglass tapes provide extreme abrasion and temperature resistance for wire harness and equipment wrapping applications. UHMW (Ultra High Molecular Weight Polyethylene) tapes are available in 2, 5 and 10 mil thicknesses and are used to eliminate squeaks, rattles and abrasion; they also provide a wear resistant surface. Foam tapes and mounting tapes offer permanent bonds, along with gap filling properties, and are available with acrylic, polyurethane and polyethylene foams, coated with acrylic or rubber pressure sensitive adhesives.

Framing, sign and award applications utilize acrylic pressure sensitive adhesive tapes for bonding papers, plastics, composites, metals, wood, and cloth. ATG tapes are widely used for print mounting, framing assembly, name plate attachment and archival grade bonding.
