Frame holes, drain holes, and access holes represent only a few of the applications for our hole cover composites. While essential to manufacture and maintenance, if left unfinished, these holes can develop a variety of problems, such as wind noise or sealing issues. Fortunately, Argent has developed a variety of low-cost alternatives to rubber or plastic hole-plugs. Our Solutions to your hole cover challenge are significantly easier to install and host a variety of other advantages. All of our unique composites can be custom converted to meet the needs of your specific application.

Right: Argent's Design Team solved this hole cover challenge with ARV-5106, our own specialty composite. Characteristics such as exceptional conformability, a high performance adhesive system, and low cost, made ARV-5106 the perfect choice for this application.

Hole Cover Applications
Application Series Solutions
Argent ARV-5106
For a low cost alternative to molded rubber and plastic hole-plugs, Argent’s ARV-5106 is your solution. Constructed of flexible low-density polyethylene film, and a very tacky, high-performance acrylic adhesive system, ARV-5106 is ideal for use on smaller holes where strength and flexibility are application requirements. ARV-5106 can easily wrap around corners and conform to complex surfaces, enabling it to excel where rigid materials or molded plugs just are not effective.
Application Series Solutions
UHMW
(Ultra High Molecular Weight Polyethylene) film tape excels in hole cover applications where abrasion resistance and high film strength are the primary concerns. With its acrylic adhesive system, UHMW will perform nicely on almost any substrate, including low surface energy plastics. Available in both clear and black, UHMW is also well suited to applications with aesthetic considerations.
Application Series Solutions
PVC Foam Tape
is used in hole cover applications that require flexibility, conformability, and insulative properties. Available in a variety of types, densities, thicknesses, and custom high-performance adhesive systems, foam tapes are highly versatile. PVC also has added benefit as a sound dampener in addition to its ability to seal holes from water and dust. For applications requiring additional abrasion resistance, films can be laminated to the composite.
Application Series Solutions
Polyester Film Tape
is a semi-rigid film making it well suited to applications featuring larger openings and gaps, especially where puncture resistance is required. Polyester is ideal for use in manufacturing environments especially those where gloves are worn, as its semi-rigid nature makes it easy to handle. For use in access-holes, polyester’s clarity allows operators to perform visual checks even after the film has been installed.
Application Series Solutions
Cloth-Tape
Primary applications for Cloth tape includes hole cover applications that require conformability and aggressive adhesion. Cloth tape is typically supplied with rubber-based adhesive systems, which have a very aggressive bond to a variety of substrates. Added benefits of most cloth tapes include improved water resistance, due to polyethylene coatings, and the ability to be applied both pre and post paint cycle.
