Budnick's experience and broad converting capabilities make commercial and residential appliance manufacturers more productive in how they use adhesive tapes, foams, and other flexible materials
Adhesive tapes can aid in the assembly of appliances in a number of applications - whether you’re bonding panels, mounting functional interfaces or handles, or adhering nameplates, there’s a tape solution to make your job easier.
Budnick specializes in solutions for the foam-in-place process, including venting tapes for hole covering and tapes for holding and seaming, ensuring the efficiency of your foaming processes
Gaskets help insulate against electrical and thermal elements, protect components from dust and moisture, and provide sound damping around compressor and motor casings among numerous other applications.
