FAQ

How does our book strip differ from the 3M strip?

This is a "mature" technology; over 30 years old. Our quality is equal as we both use the same raw material in the manufacturing process. We both supply 6.5" of the magnetic material in the base strips. Our strip is more rigid as we supply more material on the strip to give it greater sensitivity in system response. Many libraries feel that this makes the strip application smoother and easier!

What type of adhesive do we use to give permanent adhesion & protection to book and archival material?

Acrylic base adhesives that bond permanently; specifically for the library industry non-acidic adhesives which will not mark or damage the paper.
