MPI Matco

MPI Matco Innovating bonding solutions in North America MPI Matco was founded in 1991 with focus on the Greater Montreal Area.

Since then we have expanded as a well-known company for bonding solutions. The focus of the company has shifted from distribution of pressure sensitive tapes to bonding solutions for all bonding applications. We also convert our products and create customized solutions for our clients. Our product line consists of three main categories:

- Pressure Sensitive Tapes
- PTFE products
- Adhesives

Within these categories we have hundreds of products that are offered to fit our customers needs. Customized solutions have become a large part of our process we have slitting machines, dye cutting capabilities, and customized tapes and adhesives.

Bonding to low surface energy substrates can be one of the toughest challenges in industrial assembly.

Materials like PP, PE and EPDM are widely used, but they are not always easy to bond with general-purpose adhesive solutions. That can lead to extra surface preparation, added process steps or inconsistent results.

tesaยฎ LSE mounting solutions are designed to support reliable, primerless bonding on these hard-to-bond materials.

For precision and dimensional stability: tesaยฎ 4950
For conformability on flexible or uneven surfaces: tesaยฎ 74515

When the surface is challenging, the adhesive solution should be built for it.

Custom printed tapes are a practical solution for packaging operations that need reliable carton sealing along with clear branding and package identification.

Available in different constructions, they can be used across a range of applications, from everyday packaging to refrigerated environments.

Print consistency issues do not always start with ink or plates alone.

In many flexographic applications, setup conditions behind the plate can also affect print quality, stability, and repeatability throughout the run.

That is why plate mounting tape selection can play an important role in overall print performance.

As safety and environmental standards tighten, many teams are reevaluating how bonding fits into their production systems.

Liquid adhesives have long been the standard. But their use brings specific requirements: ventilation, curing time, chemical handling, equipment cleanup. These factors have always been part of the process but in many environments, theyโ€™ve become harder to justify.

Today, the technical question isnโ€™t which adhesive performs โ€œbetter,โ€ but which bonding method aligns with current constraints: exposure limits, automation, sustainability goals.

Tapes are not functionally equivalent to liquid adhesives. Their performance under load, temperature, or on different substrates may differ and that requires rethinking how bonding is integrated into the process. But that shift also creates new opportunities.

Tapes donโ€™t require curing or generate emissions during application. They eliminate certain steps: no fume extraction, no contact with reactive substances, no cleanup routines. In environments already shaped by stricter safety or sustainability demands, this often means fewer risks, fewer failure points, and more stable production.

Itโ€™s not just a format change โ€” itโ€™s a different way of designing bonding as part of the process. And thatโ€™s where many teams are now shifting their attention.

If your team is navigating that shift, a large part of our work is helping engineers and operations teams filter use cases, define whatโ€™s viable, and focus the evaluation. When bonding becomes a constraint, understanding where tape fits and where it doesnโ€™t โ€” is part of the technical conversation.

Not all PTFE-coated belts behave the same in operation. While they may look similar at first glance, differences in how the PTFE layer is applied or integrated can significantly affect performanceโ€”particularly in terms of durability and dimensional stability.

In some constructions, the PTFE layer sits primarily on the surface of the textile base. This configuration performs adequately in low-mechanical-stress applications, where friction is limited and thermal exposure is intermittent. In those cases, the focus is often on surface release and heat transfer.

Other constructions incorporate the PTFE layer deeper into the structure. These tend to remain more stable under continuous tension, repeated thermal cycles, or abrasive conditions. In such environments, how the PTFE layer interacts with the base fabric becomes more critical than its thickness or surface appearance.

We work with different constructions depending on process requirements. When needed, weโ€™re available to explore which approach fits best.

Manufacturers often underestimate how much time manual bonding steps add to production: cutting strips, trimming edges, and aligning parts can quietly slow throughput.

This article breaks down how custom die-cut tape can help reduce assembly time by:

-Replacing manual cutting and trimming with ready-to-apply parts
-Creating more consistent cycle times across operators and shifts
-Improving alignment and build quality while reducing defects and rework
-Reducing waste by minimizing offcuts and sizing errors

Not all bonding is designed to be permanent.

Some applications require components to stay securely bonded during use, while still allowing separation laterโ€”without residue, surface damage, or additional steps.

This is where revisable bonding comes into play. Adhesive systems developed with this behavior in mind are designed to hold reliably when needed, and detach in a controlled, user-friendly way when revision, repair, or end-of-life handling becomes part of the process.

tesaยฎ Bond & Detach is one example of this approachโ€”offering strong adhesion during use, with clean and predictable detachment by design.

Revisable bonding is another way to design with the full lifecycle in mind. If youโ€™d like to explore how this approach could support your application, weโ€™re always open to the conversation.

When Tape โ€œFailsโ€โ€ฆ and Whatโ€™s Actually Behind It

In industrial environments, tape performance isnโ€™t defined only by the product itself.
Itโ€™s also shaped by the conditions around it: surface preparation, temperature changes, handling, pressure, dwell time โ€” all variables that naturally shift on a production floor.

Thatโ€™s why a tape can appear to โ€œfailโ€ even when itโ€™s performing exactly as designed.

The challenge is rarely the product; itโ€™s the operational conditions the tape has to work within.
Thatโ€™s where we focus our work: looking at how the material is being used, what conditions may have changed, and what adjustments might be required.

Products donโ€™t create outcomes on their own; context does. Thatโ€™s why we focus on how theyโ€™re used.
Itโ€™s not just about specifications โ€” itโ€™s about the environment and the process that surround the application.

We donโ€™t pretend to have all the answers upfront.
But we stay curious, we dig into the details, and we work through the challenge with the customer until the application performs as it should.

If youโ€™re exploring different options, weโ€™re always open to a conversation.

2026 marks 35 years in business for MPI Matco.

Thirty-five years working in industrial environments, supporting manufacturing operations, and adapting to changing materials, processes, and requirements.

Markets evolve, applications change, and challenges look different over time. What remains constant is the need to understand how things are actually used and to respond accordingly.

We continue into 2026 focused on the work.
