You can find many flame-retardant pressure sensitive adhesives on the market, but flame-retardant doesn’t necessarily mean halogen-free. So, if there are available options, why should you consider choosing a halogen-free tape? Keep reading to see what classifies an adhesive as halogen-free, why you might consider a halogen-free tape in your next heat-generating application and learn more about some of the many halogen-free tapes available from [tesa®](https://marianinc.com/about-us/partnerships/tesa/).

Similar to surface protection tapes, masking materials are often discarded long before the final product reaches the customer. So what benefits are seen by changing from rolls of tape to die-cuts specific for your application?

Engineers integrate vents into the design of their enclosures to equalize the pressure and prevent problems such as condensation (and shorting of electronics), fogging, discoloration, leaks (failure of the seal), and other failures. Learn how the help of protective vents can keep these issues from arising.
