10 Common Tape Intro and Application
November 10,2020
Each tape is used in different industries and has its own characteristics and functions, here I will briefly introduce you some information about these tapes that you can commonly see in your daily life.
1. Transparency tape
This kind of tape use transparent PET, BOPP film as the base material, coated on both sides with modified acrylic pressure-sensitive adhesive, and use white silicone-treated paper as release paper, which is thicker than tissue paper tape. It has moisture absorption, long-lasting adhesion, and good water resistance, steam resistance, UV resistance, and aging resistance.
Features: strong adhesion, double-sided adhesion, high tensile strength.
Application: used in shoemaking and leather industry, membrane switches, electronics, circuit boards, etc.
2. BOPP tape
BOPP tape is based on BOPP film and coated with water-based pressure-sensitive adhesive. It has the characteristics of low cost and wide application.
Features: strong adhesion, high tensile strength, good waterproof and weather resistance
Application: It can be used for the packaging of various export outer boxes, with strong performance and certain protective effects.
3. Cloth adhesive tape
The cloth-based adhesive tape is made of single-sided adhesive after the mesh cloth is treated with PE resin and coated with oil-based pressure-sensitive adhesive. It has excellent initial adhesion, water resistance, and moisture resistance. Suitable for bonding and easy tearing of heavy items.
Features: strong adhesion, easy to tear, high fatigue resistance, moisture resistance, and will not cause deformation during shearing.
Usage: Suitable for packaging heavy items, it can be protected from machine dust, moisture, scratches, etc., can be connected to the protection of carpets and telephone lines, widely used in industry, and can also be used for reinforcement and anti-skid of books and folders, printing, screen printing, hardware appliances, etc.
4. Foam adhesive tape
The foam tape is made of EVA or PE foam as the base material, coated with solvent-based pressure on one or both sides, and then combined with release paper. It has the function of sealing and damping.
Features: Excellent airtightness, compression deformation resistance, flame retardancy, wettability, etc.
Uses: Products are widely used in electronic and electrical products, mechanical parts, various small household appliances, mobile phone accessories, industrial instruments, computers and peripheral equipment, auto parts, audio-visual equipment, toys, cosmetics, etc.
Kraft paper tape is based on kraft paper, coated with a pressure-sensitive adhesive and single-sided adhesive. It has high-strength adhesive force, good weather resistance, waterproof, antifreeze, and easy to tear. It is an ideal environmentally friendly product.
Features: strong adhesion, high tensile strength, can be torn by hand, will not be deformed, pollution-free, and can be recycled.
Application: paper splicing, carton sealing.
6. Masking tape
Masking tape is a high-quality masking adhesive tape. It uses crepe paper as the base material and is coated with rubber adhesive or hot solvent on one side. It has tight adhesion. Easy to remove, solvent resistance, water resistance, widely used in surface spray coating.
Features: Natural color, excellent consistency, strong adhesion, no residual glue when removed, recyclable, the smooth cutting edge of the tape. The paper is lint-free and does not break when unrolling.
Application: Used for bonding, sealing, color separation and marking spraying, and drying operation for spraying.
7. PVC protective film adhesive tape
PVC protective film is made of PVC film base material coated on one side. Acrylic glue has excellent adhesion performance, strong tension resistance, good cold resistance, strong anti-aging performance, single-sided adhesion, no residual glue, masking good performance, wear resistance, and solvent resistance.
Application: Suitable for surface protection of various metals, such as: "aluminum alloy, stainless steel, glass sandblasting process"
8. Electrical adhesive tape
Electrical adhesive tape is made of soft PVC film coated on one side with rubber-based pressure-sensitive adhesive. It has good insulation properties, high voltage resistance, high-temperature resistance, and high flame retardancy. It is generally used for insulation protection of electrical components and wires and is widely used in the electronics and electrical industries.
Features: Strong contraction elasticity, easy to tear, easy to roll, high voltage resistance, high flame retardancy, good weather resistance.
Uses: It can be used for wrapping wires, air-conditioning pipes, and widely used for insulation protection in the electrical and electronic industries.
9. Copper foil tape
Aluminum foil tape is coated with acrylic pressure-sensitive adhesive on the surface of aluminum foil, single-sided adhesive, and made of silicone-treated release paper. It has good anti-ultraviolet, anti-partial chemicals, moisture-proof and fire-proof properties. This tape is mainly used in refrigeration and electronics related industries.
Features: shiny silver, UV resistant, fireproof, can prevent more chemical corrosion, outdoor application, good weather resistance.
Applications: It can be used for heat and cold reflective insulation and insulation wrapping. It can be used in pipelines, engine supports, and wires can be wrapped to prevent heat, water, and dust. It can also be used for outdoor operations.
10. PET double-sided tape
Features: Good adhesion to the substrate, high bonding strength to high surface energy plastics and metal foils, excellent temperature resistance, water resistance, and chemical resistance.
Application: Suitable for isolation and bonding of the upper and lower circuits of membrane switches. High-performance adhesives have extremely high stability and are suitable for long-term use of keys.
