What is Tapes?

 

 

Tape is a flexible material wound into a roll and contains two major components: a flexible backing and a special class of adhesive called a pressure sensitive adhesive (PSA). This adhesive can be placed on one or both sides of the flexible backing. Tape sticks when applied to compatible surfaces, creating a surface bond that holds objects in place (hold-down tape), prevents exposure (protective tape) or affixes ancillary components to a substrate (transfer tape).

Advantages Of Tapes
 
Versatility

Adhesive tapes can be used for a variety of purposes, making them a versatile tool for businesses. For example, you can use adhesive tapes to secure packaging, create labels, and even hang posters. Additionally, adhesive tapes come in a variety of colors and sizes, so you can find the perfect tape for your needs. Some common types of adhesive tapes include packing tape, duct tape, and electrical tape.

Strength

Adhesive tapes are designed to be strong and durable, so you can rely on them to hold up your packaging or labels. Additionally, adhesive tapes can resist tearing and moisture, making them ideal for use in a variety of environments. Strength is just one of the many features that make adhesive tapes so popular. Moreover, it is important to consider the different types of adhesive tapes when selecting one for your needs.

Convenience

Adhesive tapes are very convenient to use, and they can save you a lot of time. For example, if you need to secure a package, you can simply use packing tape instead of having to tie it up with string. Additionally, adhesive tapes can be easily removed, so you can reposition them as needed. This makes adhesive tapes an ideal solution for businesses that need a quick and easy way to secure packaging or labels. Furthermore, whether you are looking for drywall tapes or double-sided tapes, you can find the right one for your needs. Whether for personal or commercial use, adhesive tapes provide a convenient solution.

Affordability

Adhesive tapes are very affordable, and they can save you money in the long run. For example, if you need to secure a large number of packages, you can purchase packing tape in bulk. This will help you save money on packaging costs. Additionally, adhesive tapes are often less expensive than other methods of securing packaging or labels. If you are looking for a cost-effective way to improve your business, adhesive tapes are a great option. Affordability is also the main reason why adhesive tapes are so popular. They are also quite accessible and easy to use, making them a great option for businesses and households of all sizes.

Safety

Adhesive tapes are safe to use, and they pose no risks to your health. For example, if you need to secure a package that contains hazardous materials, you can use duct tape. Duct tape is made of non-toxic materials, so it will not pose any risks to your health. Additionally, adhesive tapes are designed to be strong and durable, so they will not break easily. This makes them a safe option for businesses that need to secure packaging or labels. When thinking about safety, adhesive tapes are a top option because they are also non-flammable. Due to that, they are often used in a variety of industries, including the food and beverage industry.

 

Environmental friendliness

Adhesive tapes are environmentally friendly, and they can help you reduce your carbon footprint. For example, if you need to secure a package, you can use recycled packing tape. Additionally, adhesive tapes are often made of biodegradable materials, so they will not pollute the environment. If you are looking for an eco-friendly way to improve your business, adhesive tapes are a great option.

 

Types of Tapes

 

 

Packing Tape
Packing tape is absolutely essential for any type of shipping business that uses corrugated cardboard boxes. This tape is typically made of a strong acrylic plastic or polypropylene material that is coated with a strong, effective adhesive. The adhesive is perfect for grabbing onto the surface of both new and recycled cardboard boxes and holds up well to both hot and cold weather.


Masking Tape
Masking tape, otherwise known as painter’s tape, is a paper tape that does not leave any type of marks or residue on the surface on which it is placed. This type of tape is most commonly used in organizing, labelling, painting and crafting thanks to its temporary nature.


Duct Tape
Duct tape is easily one of the most popular types of tape in homes and businesses across the country. It is an extremely versatile and strong tape that is also waterproof. It is made up of three unique layers including a strong adhesive layer, a cloth fabric layer and the top plastic layer. Due to its moisture resistance, flexibility, strength and very sticky adhesive, duct tape is the perfect “repair” tool to keep in your toolbox, and around your home or business.


Double-Sided Tape
Double-sided tape is exactly as it sounds, tape with two adhesive sides. This kind of tape is best used in applications such as bonding, mounting, and displaying. There are three common types of double-sided tape. The first type is for more permanent purposes such as crafting and scrapbooking.


Kraft Tape
Kraft tape is most commonly water-activated and used for sealing and shipping cardboard boxes but, it can also be used for many different types of surfaces. This type of tape has excellent adhesion to corrugated cardboard and has effective application even when the box is dusty or dirty.


lectrical Tape
Electrical tape, also known as insulating tape, is designed to insulate wires, cables and other materials that conduct electricity. On average electrical tape is made from stretchy vinyl, plastic, rubber silicone or sometimes even glass cloth. Each electrical tape is rated for a specific voltage and temperature, so when using it make sure that you have the correct tape for your needs.


Safety Tape
Safety tapes come in a variety of styles including reflective, vinyl and anti-slip. Reflective tape is perfect for marking dangers and other notable features and provides clear visibility both day and night. Vinyl safety tape is available in a wide range of high-visibility colors and is perfect for colour-coding, bundling, perimeter lining, flagging and much more. The anti-slip tape has an abrasive surface that increases traction.

 

 
Components of Tapes
 
 
Backing

Nearly all single-coated tape products require a foundational layer, a backbone which the rest of the product relies on for support. Tape backing can be made from paper, plastic, cloth or metal. Which one you use depends on the how you plan to apply it, what you plan to apply it to and under what conditions the tape will ultimately be subjected. Tape backings can also undergo surface treatment to preempt common application issues notorious to any person who has ever taped anything. Optional release coats, for instance, stop a strip of tape from sticking to itself without jeopardizing how it sticks to the intended surface. Release coats also make tape easier to unwind from its roll for a faster overall application.

 
Adhesive

Tape adhesives consist of polymers designed to activate once the user applies pressure. Depending on the intended application, adhesives can be permanent or removable. They can be made from rubbers, resins, acrylic, silicone, or a polymer blend. Adhesives are also typically treated with additive chemicals that allow them to withstand adverse conditions like extreme temperatures or oxidization over time, which compromise their tack.

 
Release liner

Although we said almost all tapes contain backing earlier, some don't. This class of tape is typically referred to as “unsupported.” Transfer tapes, for instance, only consist of an adhesive layer and a release liner. Release liners may look similar to standard backing at first glance, but release agents differentiate the two. These agents, usually made from silicone, prevent the release liner from sticking to the adhesive layer. Single-coated tapes may include a release liner as opposed to a release coat, depending on end use. Additionally, double-sided tapes may contain both a backing and a release liner, along with two layers of adhesives.

 
Pressure

No tape will stick without pressure, and the amount of pressure applied can determine how well tape sticks in most cases. That said, adhesive freshness matters just as much – for adhesive polymers to function properly, they must both adhere to the backing or release liner as one cohesive substance, as well as transfer freely to the substrate being taped over. The texture of a given substrate aids in this process, but pressure sensitivity is the catalyst that sets everything in motion – or sticks it in place, as the case may be.

 
 

 

Why Isn't My Tapes Sticking?

Environmental Temperatures Are Too Low

Similar to glues, tapes are engineered for use in specific temperature ranges. Always read up on a product's temperature rating before integrating that solution into an assembly line. Conditions that are near freezing can cause adhesives to harden to the point where they refuse to stick. Additionally, your business may require bonding tapes rated for extreme temperatures if substrates travel through a heat chamber.

Tape Degradation

Adhesive tapes do have a shelf life. Tapes that have sat awhile may lose their ability to stick to challenging surfaces like PVC. Keep an eye on your adhesive tape inventory to prevent products from sitting years at a time. Perform a test to see if the tape variety you have is right for your application and setting. If a brand-new order of tape won't stick, it's time to call the manufacturer.

Wrong Tape for the Substrate of Texture

A primary reason why tape doesn't stick is because the product is unsuitable for the project. Adhesive tapes are manufactured with specific requirements in mind that influence what substrates they will stick to. The majority of adhesive tape solutions available on the market will detail what materials the tape is compatible with. Thicker tapes are necessary for substrates and surfaces that have a rough texture. Whether your business works with automotive parts or is responsible for printing, it's best to read up on tape solutions appropriate for your industry before ordering.

Improper Installation

Be sure to read any manufacturer instructions that come with pressure-sensitive adhesive tapes. If you miss a step that is important for the bonding process, the tape won't stick. Apply downward force when necessary, and refrain from stretching tapes prior to placement for desirable results.

 
What Types Of Adhesives Are Used For Tapes?
 

 Selecting the right adhesive for your project requires a good understanding of the application and backing or carrier being used.

Acrylic adhesives provide excellent environmental resistance and provide a faster setting time than other adhesives.

 

Epoxy resins exhibit high strength and low shrinkage during curing and are known for their toughness and resistance to chemical and environmental damage.

 

Rubber-based adhesives provide highly flexible bonds and are usually based on butadiene-styrene, butyl, polyisobutylene or nitrile compounds.

 

Silicone adhesives and sealants have a high degree of flexibility and are resistant to very high temperatures.

 

Polyurethane and Isocyanate adhesives provide more flexibility, impact, resistance, and durability.

 

 

 
How to Make Tape Stick Better
 
01/

Clean the surface
Adhesives stick to substrates and surfaces when they are free of dust and debris. Wipe surfaces clean and make sure no liquids or residues are left behind.

02/

Wash your hands
Oils from the skin can interfere with a tape's ability to bond. Wash your hands before working, and avoid using moisturizers before handling tape.

03/

Store tape correctly
Try to keep tape away from overhead lighting and damp conditions. You can prolong the life of adhesive tapes by placing rolls in a controlled environment.

04/

Manage temperatures
Setting indoor temperatures anywhere from 68 to 72 degrees Fahrenheit is recommended for short- and long-term storage.

05/

Avoid stretching tape before use
Some tapes retract after placement. Cut pieces that cover the area without needing to be pulled for additional reach.

06/

Choose the right tape
Consider the texture of a surface before applying. There is no one-size-fits-all tape solution, so do your research to select a thickness that will work for your applications.

 

7 Surprising Ways Tape Is Used in Your Car

 

 

Interior Mounting Tape
Car interior tape is frequently used to hold dashboard pieces, seats, carpeting and other elements in place. Select products can accompany metal hardware to prevent lightweight materials from separating when exposed to changing temperatures, UV rays and environmental elements. If a trunk liner is locked in place, there is a good chance interior mounting tape is at work.
 

Windows and Glass
Air moves across the exterior of your vehicle with varying pressures when you travel at highway speeds. Automotive adhesive tapes are responsible for sealing off window glass so that installations are weatherproof. Placing automotive tapes around the perimeter of windshields helps to keep the cabin quiet while providing protection from moisture.
 

Mirror Assembling
Manufacturers use tapes for cars when building and attaching exterior mirrors. These products are effective in closing off gaps where water could interfere with electronics. Everything from mounting base plates, housings and mirror glass may be fastened permanently using the right double-sided tape.


Exterior Mounting
Body panels, door trims, automaker emblems, roof rails and more are exposed to extreme conditions. High-strength automotive adhesive tapes make it possible to bond two substrates even if the surface textures are different. Select products by tesa respond to thermal expansion for fastening plastics and other materials along the vehicle's contours.


Security Labeling
Vehicles have labels near fuel tanks, doors and the engine compartment for security and safety purposes. Automotive tapes may be treated with laser marking technology to help mechanics and authorities collect data about a vehicle even if the tapes are removed. From plastic parts and metal surfaces to window glass, security system labeling deters thieves from breaking in or tampering with your investment.


Noise Reduction
A primary purpose of automotive adhesive tapes is to absorb sudden shocks that interfere with cabin comfort. It's common to find interior car tape on the opposite side of cup holders to reduce rattling and around door frames to limit the sound of slamming. A fair amount of adhesive tape also sits below exterior luggage racks and hatchback trunk components to prevent squeaking.


Wire Harnessing
Some tapes for cars include film backings and woven materials suitable for wiring. Connections running behind the dashboard are typically coated in adhesive tapes to protect against environmental elements and corrosion. This process helps to keep bundles of wires together for neatness and proper labeling.

Factors That Alter Tape Performance
 

Stress: Placing pressure on tape products causes the backing materials to degrade. This might take place in the form of stretching or exposure to radiation.

 

Contamination: Anything sitting between an adhesive layer and the substrate impacts a tape's ability to hold. Cleaning solutions, oils from the skin, dust and debris will weaken bonds.

 

Temperature: Cold temperatures cause adhesive layers to dry, making them difficult to apply. Warm environments cause tape layers to peel back unless products are rated for conditions above a certain threshold.

 

Time: Using tape within weeks of your purchase increases the odds that adhesives will function as intended.

 

Tips On How to Properly Store Tape Rolls
 

Follow the Manufacturer's Recommendations

Tape roll packaging should provide certain instructions. Abide by all manufacturer suggestions, as the company that created the product will have a strong understanding of how to keep adhesives in optimum condition.

 

Store Tape in Original Packaging

 

Don't open adhesive tapes if you plan on using them at a later date. Ensuring an airtight seal around tape reduces the effects of oxygen across adhesive layers.

 
 
 

Keep Out of Direct Sunlight

 

Always store tape rolls indoors. Make a dedicated space in your facility to store tape away from windows where ultraviolet (UV) rays can seep in and cause tape strands to melt or dry out.

 

Control Indoor Temperatures

tesa products should be stored and applied in conditions between 15 and 35 degrees Celsius, depending on the selection. Room temperature — 21 degrees Celsius — is ideal for most long-term storage needs.

 

Keep Dry and in Low Humidity

Moisture is a threat to adhesive tapes. Limit the chances of an unfavorable chemical reaction by ensuring tape rolls remain in an environment with 50-70% relative humidity.

 

Cycle Out Tape for Use By Date

Maintain receipts and records of the dates when you purchased adhesive tapes. Then, use products that have been sitting in storage the longest before grabbing your latest orders.

 
How Tape Is Used in the Manufacturing of Corrugated Packaging
 

 

Splicing

We want to provide process improvement in every roll, so we offer tapes formulated for splicing and other functions. Different paper grades of flute and liner are spliced together to create corrugated packaging. Double-sided splicing tapes hold these pieces together even amidst heat exposure. They also generate shear resistance. Characteristics of tape used for splicing include high coating weights and special adhesive formulas, which create secure bonds even when the surface is rough.

Closing

You count on your boxes to reach their destinations safely, which means that the tape you use needs to withstand interference and pressure. The tape should be extra sturdy, capable of securing boxes for transport and keeping them protected. The tape is applied at the "dry end" of the production line. You also want your boxes to look attractive for recipients, and so the tape should create a premium appearance. Double-sided tape works well for closing, though it's best combined with liner material and tape backings.

Opening

When the end-product user receives the package, it should be easy to open and readily accessible. The right type of tape can make all the difference for the recipient. Search for self-adhesive "tear tape" that people can easily rip through. No matter what grade of corrugated box you send, the tape should maintain its high performance. The right tape enhances customer satisfaction while also reducing frustration at opening the package.

Reinforcing

Packaging solutions should be strong and durable. The sturdier they are, the more customers will appreciate them. You can add even more strength to your packaging by utilizing a selection of reinforcement tapes, especially around flutes and liners. The tape decreases the thickness and weight of the board while increasing the maximum load, making it tougher. Plus, the packaging provides better support for handholds or die-cut handles.

Flexographic printing

Flexography provides high-speed printing of packaging and labels for mass-produced goods, such as corrugated packaging. With flexography, you apply the print to the substrate with flexible plates instead of using offset plates. This approach cuts down on the number of processes that go into printing. If you print directly onto the corrugated board, you need the right tape to ensure it stays attached. The best option for postprint plate mounting is self-adhesive tape.
