I. Definition of adhesive tape
Pressure sensitive tape means that the tape adheres easily to the surface being adhered by touch and light pressure. Pressure sensitive tape is a viscoelastic polymer with both liquid and solid properties. Therefore, compared with glue, adhesive tape does not need to be cured during bonding, which can save man-hours. Tapes are used in a wide range of fields. In addition to daily office tape products, tapes are also used in many industrial fields such as automobiles, electronics, paper printing, construction, home appliances, new energy, and rail transit.

II. The structure of the tape
Adhesive tapes generally consist of coatings with various functions. The adhesive is applied to one or both sides of the substrate (to make single- or double-sided tapes). The following diagrams show typical constructions of single-sided or double-sided tapes.

III. Types of substrates
The task of the substrate is to hold the adhesive and primer. The base material is very rich, from paper to plastic film, etc. Different materials have different characteristics and are suitable for various application scenarios.

Common substrates:

  1. Film tape (PP, PET,PVC)
    Dimensionally stable, chemically stable, temperature resistant (PET), transparent or white
    Non-woven tape
    Docile, heat-resistant, hand-tearable, transparent
  2. Foam tape (PE)
    Vibration and noise reduction, suitable for rough surfaces, compensates for thermal expansion and contraction between different materials (such as glass and metal), black or white
  3. Cloth/fabric tapes are compliant, scratch-resistant, hand-tearable, and have a high amount of glue.
  4. Asymmetric Tape
    Differential adhesives are coated on both sides of the substrate, resulting in different peel forces on both sides.
  5. Non-backing tape
    There is no base material, only the adhesive is attached to the release paper, which has excellent conformability and is very thin.

IV. Types of adhesives
The coating weight (g/m2) and formulation of the adhesive depends on the application for which the tape is designed.
Common adhesives are acrylic adhesives, natural rubber adhesives and synthetic rubber adhesives. Different adhesives have different basic characteristics, and acrylic adhesives are generally better suited for permanent and outdoor applications.
Comparative analysis of two main adhesives:

Acrylic Adhesive:

  1. Advantages
    Excellent adhesion to polar materials (PET, PC, glass, metal)
    Heat resistant
    Aging resistance
    Can withstand various environments
    Typically higher shear resistance at elevated temperatures
  2. Limitations
    Final bond strength is achieved after a rest period, so repositioning is possible
    low initial bond strength
    Relatively low adhesion to polar materials

Rubber adhesive:

  1. Advantages
    High initial viscosity
    Realize fast bonding with the adherend
    Excellent adhesion to non-polar surfaces such as PP, PE, or EPDM
  2. Limitations
    Relatively low high temperature resistance
    Relatively low aging resistance
    Relatively low environmental performance
    Relatively low chemical resistance
    Relatively low moisture resistance

V. Types of release paper/film
The type of material of the release paper determines its physical properties, such as tensile strength, elongation, tear resistance, moisture resistance stability, cutting debris… The release force of the release paper/film should not be too large to cause tape It is difficult to peel off, and it should not be too small to fall off.

Common release paper/film:

  1. Cellophane
    tearable
    good tensile strength
    Good electrostatic discharge performance
    The paper core is relatively hard and has strong compressive stability
    die cut
    cost-effective
  2. PE coated paper
    high dimensional stability
    PE coating prevents moisture absorption
    tearable
    good tensile strength
    Good electrostatic discharge performance
    die cut
  3. MOPP film
    Dimensionally stable, good tensile strength
    Moisture-proof
    Small thickness tolerance
    die cut
    translucent
  4. PE film
    Good elasticity, suitable for wrapping thicker products
    Moisture-proof
  5. PET film
    High temperature resistance (up to 150°C)
    Small thickness tolerance
    dimensionally stable, thin
    die cut
    transparent
