Medium Sign Channel with Structural Bonding Tape applied is an aluminium extrusion designed to be bonded to the reverse of aluminium or aluminium composite (ACM) sign blanks. The channel allows the blanks to be fixed to sign posts, railings or uprights without the need to fix through the face of the sign.

Key Advantages of Structural Bonding Sign Channel

• Available in lengths up to 3 metres (Up to 6 metres if requested)
• Provides permanent bonding to sign blanks
• Suitable for long term exterior installation
• Replaces traditional mechanical fixing methods
• No visible fixings on sign face
• Graphics can be applied or direct to substrate printed prior to channel installation

Choose between grey, black and white powder coat finish to suit your specification. 

Structural Bonding Tape Application

We apply the the structural bonding tape in-house using 4 important steps:

1. The medium sign channel is cut to the desired length
2. Stykra EXT cleaner is used to degrease and prepare the extrusion
3. A thin layer of Stykra EXT primer is applied to ensure maximum bond strength
4.  Stykra 700 Structural bonding tape is applied with even pressure

The same steps must be taken when preparing the aluminium or ACM sign blanks as seen in the video below.
