Types of Adhesive Tapes

Security Tape

Security tapes are one of the primary essentials every security industry should possess in adequate numbers. They are beneficial for packaging and shipping over long distances and even overseas. Security tape is a security label that protects the objects stored inside. They are handy for the storage of sensitive and fragile things. As their primary purpose is to secure contents, they are naturally strong and versatile, so much so that sometimes shippers use them on the whole box for good measure. They have a similar appearance and function to packing tape, but security labels are often on the cheaper side of the spectrum.

Electrical Tape

Commonly known as insulation tape, they are a domestic necessity for houses having electricity issues. They can pretty much be used for anything that conducts electricity. It is made from several plastics but is mainly available in vinyl. This is because of its long life span, with added stretchability and insulation properties. Electrical tapes come in a wide range of varieties and colors, facilitating labeling and grouping functions. They are normally used in industries to indicate different voltages and degrees of security.

Gummed paper tape

Made from kraft paper, gummed paper tape is 100% biodegradable and requires water to activate the adhesive upon application. This creates a complete bond with the carton as the water-activated adhesives penetrate the liner of the carton. On top of the high sealing capabilities, gummed paper tape creates a tamper-evident solution for your package. This is often utilised by the automotive and electronics industry due to the nature of the high value products.

What Types of Adhesives Are Used for Tapes

As noted earlier, a broad spectrum of sticky tape types can be categorized depending on their use and application on materials. While some can be activated through pressure, others have complex designs that can only work in certain conditional mediums. Tapes are made of carrier material and the respective adhesive. That said, not all adhesives can be used for taping purposes.
Acrylic: Provides strong and intense resistance from environmental conditions; minimal setting time in comparison to other kinds of adhesives
Epoxies: Also known as resins, gum material that does not shrink with curing and is self-protective of environmental and chemical changes
Rubber: Based on solid compounds such as butadiene-styrene, polyisobutylene, butyl, and nitrile; extraordinarily flexible and adjustable sealants
Silicone: Highly flexible and temperature resistant
Other: Isocyanate sealants and polyurethane-based adhesives form a combination of all the above characteristics; They exhibit strength, utility, long lifespan, and adjustability.

Which Materials Are Used for the Backing

Tapes have two essential components- the adhesive and the carrying material. Although understanding the adhesive can prove crucial for its usage, the backing material is equally important because it must go along with being used. Adhesive films can be made from various materials depending on the purpose. The most common ones are listed below:
Paper: Also referred to as flat-back tape
Cloth: Uses a fabric or a piece of the woven layer
Felt: Non-woven materials that provide scratch resistance and protection
Foam: Usually combined with a cover liner; its primary purpose is for mounting and sealing.
Metal Foil: Aluminum and tin metals are often used as backing materials. Lead foils are also widely used due to their heat-resistance properties. They are excellent backing materials for holding objects exposed to high moisture and humidity. While metallic tape designs typically cater to sealing and seaming, aluminum-based ones are pre-laminated on plastic or paper bases to exhibit strong properties. Copper carriers are widely used in manufacturing PCBs.
Plastic Film or Polymers: They are generally categorized as thermoplastics and thermosets based on the number of plastic layers it incorporates. They are widely used for designing due to their layering abilities and because they can come in any style- clear, organized, or mono-colored.
Mylar: Mylar is also known as polyester or polyester-based products
Filament bundles (or strap tape) consist of millions of fiberglass filaments converted into a thread-like structure. It is more versatile than other backing materials and can stick differently shaped objects. They are commonly used for storage and shipping.
Double-sided tapes must have a covering liner or release liner on at least one surface. These liners are preferably made from solid and smooth materials like silicone or paper.

How to Choose Adhesive Tapes Through Testing Methods

Resin Rubber: Being the older kind of adhesive, it combines rubber and sap. It is affordable and solid in comparison to other types of adhesive tapes. It holds together materials, even if they are hard to stick. Thanks to their strong bonds, they can resist higher temperatures to some extent. However, they oxidize quickly in the presence of air and UV rays.

Synthetic Rubber: They are manufactured rubber materials that are super adhesive instead of natural rubber. It is widely used for shipping and security purposes due to its sheer strength.

Acrylics: They form the weakest of adhesives. They resist environmental factors such as temperature, UV ray exposure, and oxidation. As a limitation, they seem to be out of budget for commercial usage. They also require lag time to activate their stickiness.

Silicone adhesives: These adhesives are long-lasting. They are incredibly durable and skin-friendly. Due to this property, they are used in bandaids in the medicine industry. Thanks to excellent heat resistance, they are widely used in the electrical and temperature-based industries. Unfortunately, they are on the expensive side of the budget spectrum, even more so than acrylics.

That said, there are some testing variables to understand the various properties of the tape. They are as follows:
Peel adhesion: The force required to break a bond between the PSA and the surface material. This testing method tests the adhesion strength by peeling the tape at a uniform pressure and speed at a certain angle. It calculated the extent of bond breakage. It is represented by oz/in.
Tack: It is the adhesive property of the tape. To put it more elaborately, the tape can wet the adhesive on the surface upon contact. This measures bond formation, as opposed to peel adhesion. This is used in most tamper evident tapes.
Shear: It is essentially the speed of movement of an adhesive tape. It measures the sticking power and can be calculated statically or dynamically. When a static load is applied on a vertically-pulled tape, the shear is referred to as static shear. Similarly, dynamic shear measures the horizontal stress of the tape.
Tensile Strength and Elongation: Lastly, this factor measures the strength of the tape concerning its construction. Conversely, elongation is calculated as the percentage change in the tape’s length when pulled from both sides with a special force.

Adhesive Coating Types

Acrylic	Acrylic adhesives provide excellent environmental resistance and faster setting times than other resin systems.
Epoxy	Epoxy resins are adhesives that exhibit high strength and low shrinkage during curing. Epoxies are known for their toughness and resistance to chemical and environmental damage.
Hot Melt/Heat Activated	Heat activated, thermally activating or heat bond adhesives become tacky or sticky when heat is applied. The adhesive may soften but not necessarily melt. Hot melt adhesives can be repeatedly softened and melted by heat and hardened or set by cooling. Cooling allows the removal or repositioning of parts during assembly.
None/Non-adhesive	Non-adhesive tapes, films or laminates do not have an applied adhesive but may be self-adhering. PTFE thread-sealing tape is a type of non-adhesive tape.
Pressure Sensitive (PSA)	Pressure sensitive adhesives (PSAs) or contact adhesives are aggressively and permanently tacky at room temperature in dry (solvent free) form. They adhere firmly to a variety of dissimilar surfaces upon contact, requiring only the application of finger or hand pressure. PSAs do not require water, solvent or heat activation in order to exert a strong adhesive force on materials such as paper, plastic, glass, wood, cement and metal. PSAs have a sufficiently cohesive holding and elastic nature so that despite their aggressive tackiness, they can be manipulated by hand and removed from smooth surfaces without leaving a residue. In terms of general trade usage, leading tape manufacturers do not sanction the extension of the term "pressure sensitive" to include tapes and adhesives just because they are sticky (e.g. fly paper), or just because they adhere or cohere.
Rubber	Rubber-based adhesives provide highly flexible bonds and are usually based on butadiene-styrene, butyl, polyisobutylene or nitrile compounds.
Silicone	Silicone adhesives and sealants have a high degree of flexibility and very high temperature resistance.

Application of Adhesive Tapes

Construction Industry
Adhesive tape plays a vital role in the construction industry, from masking off areas during painting and decorating to holding pipes and cables in place. In addition, adhesive tapes seal joints and seams and protect surfaces from moisture and dirt.
Adhesive tapes are a critical component during building, bonding, and designing. For example, adhesive tapes attach metal panels and other materials without welding or riveting. As a result, it creates a stronger, more durable bond.

Packaging Industry
The packaging industry uses adhesive tape for various applications, from sealing boxes and packages to labeling products. Adhesive tapes also secure straps and handles and provide reinforcement.
Adhesive film tape plays a crucial role in the packaging industry by providing a physical barrier between the contents of a package and the environment. As a result, they protect products from damage during transit.

Automotive Sector
Adhesive tape is handy in the automotive sector, from holding parts together during assembly to protecting surfaces during painting and coating. In addition, adhesive tapes come in handy during hole drilling, grasping screws, and other small parts.
Adhesive tapes also help during the painting and coating processes by providing a physical barrier between the substrate and the environment. As a result, it prevents contamination and ensures a consistent finish.

Electronics Industry
Adhesive tape is necessary in various electronics industry applications, from holding parts together during assembly to protecting surfaces from moisture and dirt. In addition, adhesive tapes protect surfaces from contamination.
Adhesive tapes play a crucial role in the electronics industry by providing a physical barrier between electronic components and the environment. As a result, they prevent damage and ensure a consistent finish.

Household Appliances
The home goods industry relies heavily on adhesive tape to hold parts together during assembly. For example, traditional adhesive tapes help integrate the inner tub with the adhesive in washing machines. This step ensures a watertight seal and prevents leaks.
Waterproof adhesive tape is excellent for manufacturing other household appliances such as dishwashers, dryers, and refrigerators. Adhesive tapes have an acrylic adhesive density that helps hold parts together during assembly and prevent leaks.

How to Store Adhesive Tapes

Temperature: Heat is crucial for adhesive retention. And this includes the adhesive, the carrier, and the surface to which it is applied. Make sure that these materials are at least 65 degrees Fahrenheit.

Surface: Many complaints about the adhesive tape are actually the problem of the surface. Vestiges of dirt or moisture can destroy the tape’s properties and create a barrier. To avoid this, give it a quick wash of rubbing alcohol with a dry clean cloth. Another factor to consider is the uniformity (regularity) of the surface too. Irregular surfaces can slightly damage the thin, smooth surface.

Chemistry: The composition of the surface also plays a massive role. The adhesive tape can be secured differently based on whether it is made of plastic, covered with paint coating, has a release liner, etc. Keep in mind that if the surface is waxed, there is a need to buy tackier tape. This applies to the adhesive, backing material, release liner, etc.

Humidity: Moisture can wear out the stickiness if the adhesive happens to be a weak one.

Shelf life: The security tape manufacturers best determine the usable period. This must be the first factor when looking for adhesive tape. It would be shown in the datasheet or behind the package under normal circumstances. Pay attention to their recommendations as well.

Other: The type of adhesive, carrier, covering liner, application method, adhesive tape manufacturer, and storage conditions can also determine the strength and usable period of using the tape effectively and efficiently.

FAQ

Q: What is adhesive tape used for?
