In our daily life, everyone should be very familiar with tapes. We often use them to stick things together. However, most people use transparent tapes, and some use black tapes used by electricians. In fact, it is rare to see fiberglass tapes, and even if you see them, you may not recognize them, and there may be a situation where the name does not match the actual object. Today, I will introduce fiberglass tapes to you.
Fiber tape is an adhesive tape product made of PET/OPP film as the base material, reinforced with glass fiber yarn or glass fiber mesh, and coated with hot melt adhesive. Therefore, the glass fiber tape made of glass fiber yarn is striped fiber tape, and the glass fiber tape made of glass fiber mesh is mesh fiber tape, which are all single-sided fiber tapes. In addition, there is also a glass fiber mesh double-sided tape made of higher strength glass fiber mesh cloth.
Fiber tape has a wide range of uses and features. It is widely used in household appliances such as washing machines, refrigerators, fax machines, metal and plastic fixation, and fixation in the production process of large and small transformers. Common application scenarios of fiberglass tape: First, heavy metal objects and steel wrapping. Due to the particularity of fiberglass tape, it is strong and can be pulled continuously, and can be used instead of ropes. The single-sided fiber tape recommended here can be striped or grid. The second is our common box sealing and packaging.
Fiberglass tape should be an upgraded version of transparent tape, with strong packaging, auxiliary packaging, and stronger viscosity. The third is furniture, tooling and equipment fixation and bonding, strong and tough, can be pulled continuously, and durable. Here it is generally recommended to use single-sided fiber tape. The fourth is the fixation of large electrical appliances, which is used in moving some household appliances with moving parts, such as plastic pallets in refrigerators. Fiberglass tape has strong viscosity, tensile resistance and wear resistance. It seals large electrical appliances during transportation to prevent damage due to shaking. And it will not leave any traces of glue, and long-term use of non-residual adhesive tape. The tape used here is residue-free tape designed specifically for temporary fixing of household appliances.
At present, the quality of fiber tapes on the market is uneven. The requirements for high strength and no residue of fiber tapes are getting higher and higher. There are more and more manufacturers. It is very important to choose a fiber tape manufacturer. So what should be paid attention to when identifying fiber tapes?
1. Color: Most of the fiber tapes themselves are transparent PET polyester base film and white glass fiber yarn, coated with high-performance pressure-sensitive adhesive.
2. The overall color is white. In order to minimize costs, some manufacturers use inferior glue, which has poor stability and is easy to age and turn yellow.
3. Generally, fiber tapes are recommended to be used up in half a year or so, and need to be placed in a ventilated and dry room temperature environment (about 25 degrees Celsius).
4. Flatness of the adhesive surface: Uneven adhesive surface will lead to uneven distribution of viscosity, and wrinkles and bounces will occur during use.
5. Straightness of fiber yarn: The straightness of the yarn directly affects the tensile strength of the fiber tape, which will have serious consequences for the current heavy packaging and bundling industry, especially the steel bundling industry.
