Packaging tapes

Vinyl backed packaging tapes are quite popular in Europe. The vinyl backing is commonly manufactured using a calendering process. Printability and smooth unwind of the tape rolls are amongst the desirable features of these tapes. 

Leave to cool, then dip strips of brown packaging tape into the sticky mixture. Leave to dry outside for about 30 minutes. 

Products and Uses Found in hot-melt adhesives, packaging tapes, special sealants, and coatings. Used as a gluing, sealing, sticking, adhering material. 

One conventional packaging tape test is an inverted 90° peel test [25], using either standard cardboard or a cardboard of choice as test surface. The time taken to strip a 1 in. (25 mm) length of a 1 in. (25 mm)-wide sample using a 200-g load is measured (Fig. 8a). By using a window of silicone-coated release paper to define the 1 in. (25 mm) length, only that section of cardboard is contacted, and the sample falls away at the completion of the test.

Many commercially available office or packaging tapes and commercial blue tapes made double-sided sticky with adhesive transfer tape on the nonsticky side are not suitable. The adhesive on these tapes is usually not homogeneous.

Usually, the materials are mixed in an extruder and fed via a holding tank direct to the coating head. It is therefore a very fast and economical process but is not very versatile and is most suitable for large-scale production of the same basic tape or sheet. Much of the general-purpose packaging tape currently produced in the United Kingdom is made by this method. 

Horacek et al. [89] report on the analysis of South Korean brown packaging tapes utilizing IRMS. Carbon and hydrogen measurements were collected from samples of adhesive and backing from tapes representing 11 different brands. The results permitted the discrimination of different brands of tape and in some cases different tape samples of the same brand. Variations within the same roll of tape were also investigated, with no significant differences observed.

These PSAs are still commonly referred to in much of industry as Kraton (a trademark of Shell Chemical) adhesives, although block-copolymer rubbers are also available worldwide from several other major sources Dexco, Enichem, and Nippon-Zeon. The most common uses of block-copolymer PSAs are in packaging tapes, although they find use in nearly all types of PSA applications. 

The most common uses of natural rubber PSAs are in masking tapes, packaging tapes, duct tapes, and other cloth tapes. 

Acrylic PSAs find wide use in office tapes, medical tapes, packaging tapes, automotive tapes, and specialty applications where good stability is desired. 

NR are adhesives, electrical insulation tapes, adhesive tapes, packaging tapes, surgical tapes and plasters. 

Pressure-sensitive adhesives form physical bonds with other materials upon brief contact and with light pressure. Examples include self-stick stamps, packaging tape, double-sided tapes, paper labels, and the ubiquitous Post-iE notes. Bond formation results from the polymeric material being able to flow under light pressure, thereby establishing good contact area with the substrate. The debonding step involves deformation of the polymeric material under stress (see Section 12.8.3), followed by separation from the substrate. The adhesives most often involve triblock copolymers such as poly(styrene-h/ock-isoprene-h/ock-styrene) or poly(styrene-Wodc-butadiene-h/ock-styrene), SBR elastomers, natural rubber, or acrylic copolymers (92). 

Many commercially available office or packaging tapes and commercial blue tapes made double-sided sticky with adhesive transfer tape on the non-sticky side are not suitable. The adhesive on these tapes is usually not homogeneous, i.e. it forms islands resulting in leaks when the glass chip and the thermoplastic fluidic scaffold are bonded together. Further, these tapes tend to make poor contact with low-energy surfaces (thermoplastics).
