HPA™ 1902 and HPA™ 1905
Avery Dennison, with their High Performance Acrylic series, meets various industries’ needs for laminating tape solutions “that provide longer term adhesion, high temperature performance, and excellent environmental resistance.” The following spotlights their HPA™ 1902 and HPA™ 1905 as shining examples of tapes that perform well even under some of the most extreme conditions.
Description
HPA™ 1902 and 1905 are transfer tapes, or laminating tapes, with high-performance acrylic adhesive on a moisture-resistant, Polycoated Kraft paper liner. 1902 carries 2.4 mil of adhesive while 1905 has 5 mil. They bond well to both medium and high surface energy (MSE and HSE) plastics and metals, exhibiting high holding power under stress and load.

- Liner thickness: 5.6 mil
- Total thickness: 8 mil (1902) and 10.5 mil (1905)
- Bond substrates: MSE and HSE plastics and metals
- Static shear strength: High
- Humidity resistance: Yes
- Chemical resistance: Yes
- Solvent resistance: Yes
- UV resistance: Yes
- Short-term maximum temperature resistance: 455°F
- Long-term maximum temperature resistance: 400°F
- Long-term minimum temperature resistance: -40°F
- UL 969 and UL 746C recognized components
HPA™ 1902 and 1905’s High Performance Benefits:
- Designed with Harsh Environments in Mind
- Strong holding power under stress and load
- Resistance to chemicals and solvents like biodiesel, industrial-strength cleaners, and dry-cleaning fluid
- Resistance to both humidity and UV
- Long-term resistance to a wide range of extreme temperatures from -40°F to 400°F
- User-friendly conformability to curved and irregular surfaces
Also Designed to Save You Time and Money.
With their holding power and heavy liner’s lay-flat properties, HPA™ 1902 and 1905 work great at room temperature with even the most complex die cuts. Their efficiency saves you more in terms of labor costs, cleanup fees, etc.
Couple these strengths with their moisture-stable, easy-release liner and you end up with reduced process times, increased converting speeds, and less wasted product on the floor. The quicker the converting process, the faster your lead times. And Less waste means a better return on your investment.
Liner Converting Benefits
- Lays flat
- Removes smoothly
- Keeps stable in moisture
Adhesive Converting Benefits
- Strong holding power
- Excellent temperature resistance and shear resistance
- Overall environmental resistance including UV light and chemical fluids
Overall Converting Benefits
- Wastes less product

Common Applications
HPA™ 1902 and 1905 are most commonly used for nameplate, graphic overlay, and membrane switch applications requiring an unsupported acrylic laminating adhesive. They’re especially useful when you need long-term holding power in harsh environments and where you need a strong bond between laminates that keep under stress.
