NederlandsHow to choose the right packaging tape?
Hotmelt Tape (synthetic rubber)
Generally manufactured with a polypropylene backing for strength,
durability and tear resistance. It is often the preferred tape for sealing
boxes because of its low cost, initial fast adhesive properties and reliable
adhesion in corrugated carton applications. This tape yellows over time, but
slower than solvent-based tape. Hot melt tape is generally the
most economical option and meets many of the needs for sealing
boxes. Many tape manufacturers use the melt process because it generates less waste
generates and is more environmentally friendly.
> High initial fast tack properties and superior adhesion to corrugated products.
> Works well at temperatures from 45° to120°, allowing it to be used in a wide range of
environments.
> Consistent aggressive tack can increase productivity in most carton closing
applications.
> Reliable industrial box sealing tape to reduce packaging costs and downtime.
reduction.
> High tensile strength allows it to withstand greater forces before tearing.
> Widely used by major industries for sealing, packaging and general
strapping applications.
> Best used with a tape dispenser for easy application.

Acrylic tape (water-based)
With recent advances in technology and materials, acrylic packaging tapes have
become increasingly popular and in many cases outperforms tapes based on
hot melt. It is a versatile, mid-priced packaging tape that can be
used on a wide range of surfaces, including cardboard, metal, glass, wood and many
plastics. Its superior temperature resistance, clarity and resistance to
yellowing make acrylic tape the preferred choice when appearance is an important
factor, such as in the consumer products and food packaging industries.
> Perfect for applications at extreme temperatures, with thermal stability
from 32 to140 degrees.
> Resistant to aging, weathering, sunlight and fading.
> The seal becomes stronger over time as the acrylic adhesive will soak into the fibers
of the box.
> Excellent clarity, visual appeal and resistance to yellowing,
remains as bright as when applied.
> Long-term retention makes itideal for boxes with extended shelf life.
> Excellent UV stability over long periods of time.
> Can be stored and used for long periods of time.

Solvent Tape (natural rubber)
Forms a strong, durable bond quickly and is the best choice for sealing boxes
with irregular surfaces and in extreme temperatures of 0-150 degrees, high
humidity or wetness. Natural rubber tape is darker than hot melt or acrylic tape and
yellowing over time. Its high performance characteristics make it the most expensive
pressure-sensitive tape on the market.
> Ideal for a wide range of applications and surface conditions.
> Highly aggressive adhesion properties for long-lasting packaging
> Performance properties remain consistent even at extreme temperatures. Ideal for
long-term sealing, but the tape yellows faster than hot melt or acrylic tapes.
> Particularly suitable for poor or recycled corrugated cardboard applications and cold
packaging.
> Perfect for heavy-duty packaging

humidity or wetness. Natural rubber tape is darker than hot melt or acrylic tape and
