Empowering Smart Manufacturing, Reducing Costs, and Boosting Efficiency
Shanghai, June 26, 2026 — The 22nd Shanghai International Adhesive Tape & Film Expo (APFE 2026), a premier annual event in the global adhesive materials and functional film industry, opened grandly today at the National Exhibition and Convention Center (Shanghai). The expo brings together top global manufacturers of adhesives, tapes, films, and related equipment to explore cutting-edge technologies and future industry trends. Among the many innovative solutions on display, the Nanobond brand has emerged as a focal point, thanks to its deep expertise in VHB tapes and waterproof foam tapes, as well as its outstanding ability to provide customers with domestic alternatives that reduce costs and enhance efficiency.
Core Strengths: Innovative Breakthroughs in VHB and Waterproof Foam Tapes
Deeply rooted in the adhesive and film sectors, Nanobond is dedicated to providing high-performance, highly reliable adhesive solutions. At APFE 2026, Nanobond is showcasing two core product series:
1. High-Strength VHB Tape: An Ideal Choice for Structural Bonding
VHB (Very High Bonding) tape is acclaimed as an ideal alternative for structural bonding due to its exceptional bond strength and durability. Nanobond’s VHB tapes utilize high-performance acrylic foam technology and offer the following significant advantages:
Ultra-High Bond Strength: Capable of replacing traditional mechanical fastening methods—such as screws, rivets, and welding—to achieve structural connections that are both aesthetically pleasing and lightweight.
Long-Lasting Durability: Features excellent weather resistance, temperature resistance (with some products withstanding ranges from -40°C to 150°C, or even up to 250°C), and impact resistance, ensuring stable, long-term bonding performance.
Stress Dissipation: The unique viscoelastic structure effectively dissipates stress, preventing cracking or deformation caused by differential thermal expansion and contraction of materials.
2. Waterproof Foam Tape: Reliable Sealing in Harsh Environments
As requirements for waterproofing in electronic products and outdoor equipment continue to rise, market demand for waterproof foam tapes is growing steadily. Leveraging precision foaming technology and high-performance adhesives, Nanobond’s waterproof foam tapes offer customers:
Superior Waterproof Sealing: Featuring a closed-cell structure, these tapes achieve IPX7-level (or higher) waterproofing, effectively blocking the ingress of moisture and dust.
Cushioning and Shock Absorption: The foam substrate provides excellent cushioning and shock absorption, protecting precision components from external impacts.
Strong Weather Resistance: Maintains stable bonding and sealing performance even in harsh environments characterized by high humidity or high temperatures.
Domestic Substitution and Cost-Efficiency: Nanobond’s Value Proposition
Amidst global supply chain challenges, Nanobond actively responds to market demands by providing high-quality alternatives to international brands. Through continuous technological innovation and lean manufacturing, Nanobond’s products match or surpass the performance of comparable international offerings while remaining more cost-competitive, thereby enabling significant cost reductions and efficiency gains for customers:
Reduced Procurement Costs: Offers cost-effective domestic alternatives, helping enterprises effectively manage raw material procurement expenses.
Optimized Production Efficiency: VHB tapes simplify assembly processes and reduce reliance on traditional mechanical fastening equipment, boosting overall production efficiency.
Enhanced Product Competitiveness: Stable product performance and a reliable supply chain help customers strengthen the market competitiveness of their end products.
Looking Ahead: Co-creating a New Era in Adhesives
APFE 2026 provides a platform for Nanobond to showcase its innovative capabilities and expand partnership opportunities. Upholding the philosophy of "technological innovation and customer-centricity," Nanobond remains dedicated to the VHB and waterproof foam tape sectors. We will continue to launch highly competitive products and join hands with global partners to forge a bright future for the adhesive materials and functional film industries.
