Cold Tough adhesive tape constructions are engineered for seaming and joining in building and construction applications, including metal building assemblies that require high performance under extreme conditions. In addition, they are used in construction work involving roofs, exterior walls, ductwork systems, doors and windows, overhead doors, gutters and joists.

Cold Tough’s bonding capabilities offer building and construction original equipment manufacturers (OEMs) a wide range of benefits, including.

• Superior performance in extreme temperatures.
• Advanced resilience on surfaces that accumulate condensation.
• Strong durability when applied to high and low-energy surfaces such as metals and plastics.
• High performance under UV exposure.
• Exceptional flexibility around metal joists, seams and other edged features.
• A “mess-free” alternative to liquid adhesives.

In addition to the tape selections offered in the Cold Tough Portfolio, Avery Dennison helps OEMs to customize adhesive configurations to match their unique needs. Customization options include quick-stick and high-tack adhesive formulations in addition to single-coated foam tapes that improve insulation. Avery Dennison customers can also access testing facilities and subject matter experts who can work through their specific requests.
