Swinnerton Cycles Effetto Mariposa Rim Tape - Carogna Wide Shop Roll 25mm x 16m Size 25

Product Description

Carogna double sided adhesive tape for Tubulars bridges the gap between previously existing tapes and mastic in terms of gluing performance and heat-resistance. a€ Extremely easy to use compared to mastic. a€ Very reliable adhesion, in any condition. a€ Once removed, Carogna leaves the rim ready for the next gluing, without additional cleaning. a€ Works for Road and Cyclocross. a€ Also available in very convenient Shop Rolls. Why We Created It_ We started developing Carogna (pronounced a€oecar-own-yaa€) double sided adhesive Tubular Tape with a clear and ambitious goal_ to bridge the gap between previously existing tapes and mastic in terms of gluing performance and heat-resistance, while retaining all the advantages of tapes. In addition to this, we gave specific additional consideration to Cyclocross and MTB Tubulars, where specific features are needed from the gluing standpoint. Universal Performance_ Carogna has been tested and is designed to perform flawlessly on any rim material (Aluminium, Carbon), with any Tubular (seamless, handmade, vulcanized sew-upsa€), on and off-road. Specific Adhesive Properties on Rim and Tubular_ Two Application-Specific Sides_ Semi-structural and removable on the rim-side: adhesion is guaranteed by industrial-grade acrylic glue, native to the base tape; this means that when removing the Tubular (breaking its bond with the rim), the acrylic glue will stay on the tape, not on the rim. Acrylic has a good adhesion on both Aluminium and Carbon without any specific surface preparation. Permanent on the Tubular Side_ Therea€™s a 1 mm-thick layer of a recently-developed permanent glue for underwater applications. This thick glue film will move and spread when the Tubular is first inflated, ensuring optimized contact with any Tubular base tape geometry. Humidity is obviously not an issue, and this glue adheres well to any kind of base tape material (nylon, cotton, poly-cotton) or external finishing (raw, brushed, or coated by neoprene). Wide Temperature Range in Use_ Once adhesion is set, the use at low temperatures (down to -40C) is not a problem. Thermal resistance of all materials used in the manufacture of Carogna was a high priority_ Carogna will provide a perfect bonding at 150C for extended periods (hours), exceeding the heat-resistance of even the best mastics and widely exceeding the heat-resistance of any other Tubular Tape. Optimized Adhesive Surface_ Adhesion is very strong and uniform across the whole circumference of the rim for all Tubulars and it is also uniform across the tubular base tape. One short-coming of tubular tape to-date has been limited adhesion at the edges of the base tape or in the centre of Tubulars with a raised centre seam. Carogna solves these problems. Temperature Range When Mounting_ Ideal thermal range for application of Carogna is between 21C and 38C (70 to 100F), allowing 8 hours to reach 80% of the adhesive strength . Applying the tape below 10C is not recommended. We recommend cleaning surfaces (rim and tubular base tape) using iso-propylic alcohol or mineral spirits.
