Adhesive tapes play a crucial role across a wide range of industries, offering reliable solutions for insulation, adhesion, and protection needs. Among the vast selection of adhesive tapes available, colored polyester tapes have gained significant recognition for their outstanding versatility and performance. To understand the tapes better lets explore the features, and applications of colored…
Accelerated Weathering Testing Pressure-sensitive tapes can experience aging and degradation when exposed to environmental stressors. Solar radiation, heat, and humidity are significant concerns for the durability of organic and polymeric materials, including adhesives, particularly in outdoor applications. High temperatures can cause thermal degradation and accelerate other degradation and diffusion processes. Additionally, moisture, whether in the…
What is Ultraviolet Radiation? Ultraviolet (UV) radiation is a form of non-ionizing radiation that is emitted by the sun and artificial sources. The sun is by far the strongest source of ultraviolet radiation in our environment. just as visible light consists of different colours that become apparent in a rainbow, the UV radiation spectrum is…

This comprehensive evaluation included a head-to-head comparison with leading tape manufacturers from the USA, focusing on various pivotal aspects of lens processing. Precision in Manual Knife Cutting:…
What is Viscosity? Viscosity is the measure of fluid resistance to flow or its internal friction of the fluid, it indicates how easily a fluid can be deformed or how we can resist the flowability under mechanical forces. Higher the flow, lower the viscosity and lower the flow, higher the viscosity. For example, if we…
What is Curing? The curing process in Pressure Sensitive Adhesive (PSA) Tapes is a crucial process after the coating process, which refers to the process of removing residual solvents and air pockets which get entrapped in the jumbo during the coating process. This process is a significant step to ensure that the adhesive formulation should…
In the realm of surface preparation for powder coating, achieving clean and precise lines is crucial for a flawless finish. Powder coating tape, specifically designed for this purpose, plays a significant role in masking off areas that should not be coated. So, what are the features, benefits and best practices of powder coating tape and…
What is Rubber Mastication? Mastication is an important step in the rubber compounding process. Before adding the compounding ingredients, rubber mastication is required. Mastication is the process of softening or breaking down the molecular chains of the rubber particles by the means of mechanical shear such as grinding, mixing etc. Through rubber mastication, the viscosity…
Adhesive tapes play a significant role in the white goods industry, which includes the manufacturing and assembly of large household appliances such as refrigerators, washing machines, dishwashers, ovens, and more. These tapes provide various benefits and are used for different purposes throughout the production process. Here are some common applications of adhesive tapes in the…
