Products

Gerband® adhesive tapes and Fortax® sealants are mainly manufactured in our own factories in Germany and are based on environmentally friendly raw materials, mostly polyacrylates and butyl rubber; they are free from solvents, formaldehyde, chlorine, heavy metals and other toxins commonly found in the home. In addition, the products are resistant to heat and cold, insensitive to moisture or completely waterproof and highly resistant to ageing. Gerband® adhesive tape, quality products with a guarantee – for healthy, environmentally friendly and safe bonding.

Masking Tapes

Paper adhesive tapes are ideal for packaging purposes, as masking tapes for painting and varnishing work, and for splicing in the paper and cardboard industry. Packaging adhesive tape is both tear-resistant and stretchable and reliably seals parcels and export packaging. Flat crepe adhesive tape is heat-resistant and can be removed without leaving any residue. It enables clean paint edges when painting and varnishing, is suitable for oven drying and guarantees professional results.

Cloth Tapes

Fabric adhesive tapes are also known as general-purpose adhesive tapes and are increasingly used in industry and trade due to their flexibility. Their integrated glass or cellulose fabric makes them particularly resistant to splitting and tearing, making them versatile for a wide range of applications, such as bundling, fixing and repairing. Fabric adhesive tape with butyl rubber adhesive is ideal for permanently sealing pipes and fresh air ducts, while double-sided fabric adhesive tape is ideal for laying floor coverings.

Protection Films

Surface protection films are specially developed, soft and clingy films that reliably protect sensitive surfaces from external influences. They are used in a wide range of areas, especially for protection during production, storage, further processing, repair, assembly and transport. These films are used for the temporary protection of sensitive materials against dirt, dust, scratches and other mechanical damage. They are moisture-resistant and offer limited resistance to UV radiation, oils and solvents, making them suitable for both indoor and certain outdoor applications.

Butyl Tapes & Sealants

Butyl sealing tapes are high-quality sealing products that are characterised by their extreme water resistance, high adhesive strength and long-term ageing resistance. They offer a reliable and durable sealing solution for a wide range of applications in the construction, heating, ventilation and air conditioning sectors. They are particularly commonly used for sealing joints, sealing pipes, fixing insulation and for airtight and watertight sealing of windows and doors. Butyl sealing tapes are also used in industrial applications for damping, cushioning and sealing. Combined with aluminium foil as a backing material, they are also UV resistant.

Double-sided Tapes

Double-sided adhesive tapes are a reliable solution for strong, invisible bonds in industry, trade and the construction industry. They are characterised by high initial and permanent adhesive strength, excellent shear resistance and resistance to heat, moisture and chemicals. Depending on the application, double-sided adhesive tapes are made of highly tear-resistant films, permanently elastic foams or flexible fabrics that are ideally suited to specific requirements. Some variants are specially designed for mounting panels, displays, emblems and floor coverings, while others are designed for vapour barriers, self-adhesive equipment and splicing work. Particularly robust versions are heat-resistant, plasticiser-resistant and UV-stable, making them suitable for demanding industrial applications and outdoor use.

Aluminum Tapes

Aluminium adhesive tapes are versatile, durable and resistant adhesive tapes with different properties and areas of application. They consist of pure aluminium or aluminium-coated carrier films and are equipped with strong, age-resistant acrylic adhesives. They are characterised by high heat resistance, shear strength and weather resistance, making them ideal for demanding applications such as insulating insulation materials, sealing in heating, ventilation and air conditioning applications, and covering during welding under protective gas. Some variants offer additional advantages such as UV resistance, grid reinforcement for increased tear resistance or flame retardancy in accordance with DIN standards.

SMP Adhesives

SMP adhesives and MS polymers are single-component adhesives and sealants that combine the advantages of classic PU and silicone technologies in a single product. They cure through exposure to air humidity and are characterised by a permanently elastic bond with high mechanical strength. This makes them ideal for applications involving material movement or vibrations, such as in construction and vehicle manufacturing.

Due to their excellent adhesion to a wide range of materials, these adhesives offer a universal solution for a variety of assembly and bonding tasks. They adhere reliably even to damp, slightly contaminated or painted surfaces, often without the need for a primer.

Another advantage is their high resistance to moisture, UV radiation, oils and solvents. This makes SMP adhesives ideal for both indoor and outdoor use. They are also solvent-free, low-odour and low-emission, enabling environmentally friendly and healthy processing. The products are ready to use and easy to apply.
