Generally referred to as PET tape, polyester film tape is a flexible yet stable material that provides surface protection and electrical insulation for products. It also offers resistance to high temperatures and UV light.
Tapes are used for different applications that require minimal thickness. They are widely used in automotive, electronics, and other industries for bonding, masking, insulation, and mounting purposes.
They are available in acrylic, silicone, and rubber adhesives with various widths, lengths, and thicknesses. They are highly resistant to moisture, solvents, oil, and different chemicals.
These adhesives have excellent adhesion, peel, shear, and tear strength. They are also able to resist abrasion, heat, and water.
The carrier of the tape determines its performance and characteristics, so you should choose a carrier that will help your tape perform optimally. Here are some common types of carriers:
Paper Carrier: The carrier of the tape is typically a thin, flexible material that carries the adhesive. This gives the tape structural support and helps it retain its original dimensions. It can also be die-cut, sheeted, and reminded.
Fabric Carrier: The carrier of the tape is a woven or knitted material that provides the tape with flexibility and conformability. It also makes the tape user-friendly, as it is easy to tear when needed, but holds strong when pulled.
Plastic Carrier: The carrier of the tape is often made from polyester (PET), polypropylene, or PVC. These are common types of carriers because they can be rolled or cut into shapes and sizes without breaking.
Double-sided polyester film tape: The double-coated polyester film tape has a rubber pressure-sensitive adhesive that offers superior adhesion to PE foam fabrication and lamination processes. It is also suitable for a variety of packaging applications such as gaskets, die-cuts and POP merchandising.
These tapes are commonly used in the manufacturing of foam packaging and for the fabrication of polyethylene foam, such as bubble wrap. They are a versatile, cost-effective option for all your foam and plastic needs.
