Specification parameters description:Adhesion Strength:
Adhesion strength is how effective the bond is between the adhesive and the substrate. Adhesion strength varies depending on the substrate and is typically expressed in pounds per inch or ounces per inch. Adhesion strength is an important factor in determining when an adhesive will no longer produce an effective bond.
Adhesive Material:
Tape is commonly made of a backing material and an adhesive material. Adhesive material is the sticky portion of the tape that forms a bond when applied to a substrate. A wide range of adhesive materials are used for varying applications. To form an effective bond, rugged and contoured substrates require different adhesive materials than smooth, even surfaces. Choose adhesive material based on surface material, indoor or outdoor use, and surface quality.
Backing Material:
Tape is commonly made of a backing material and an adhesive material. Backing material is what holds the adhesive and is the portion of tape exposed to the environment when applied to a surface. Also known as carrier material, it is available in a range of materials for varying applications. For light-duty applications like office and packaging, backing materials are often made of paper for easy tearing. For tough, outdoor applications like aerospace or marine, heavy-duty backing materials are used to resist abrasion and wear.
