Adhesive tape is a common auxiliary material in our lives, whether it is used in daily life or has special functions in industry. With the change of seasons, the temperature also varies greatly, from the cold of -10℃ in winter to the hot of 40℃ in summer. Adhesive tape is used all year round, so how much does the temperature of different seasons affect the viscosity of adhesive tape?
Usually, the glue solvents of tapes include water glue, oil glue, hot melt glue, rubber and silicone. Silicone glue is often used in high temperature resistant tapes, and the temperature resistance is generally above 200℃, so there is no need to worry that the temperature difference caused by seasonal changes will affect the stickiness of the tape coated with silicone glue. Compared with silicone glue, the temperature resistance of water glue, oil glue, hot melt glue and rubber glue is not that high. Water glue, oil glue and hot melt glue are generally used at room temperature, and the high temperature resistance is around 80℃. Although it is hot in summer, the temperature is far from 80℃, so the use of water glue, oil glue and hot melt glue tape is not very affected, but it will still slightly affect the stickiness. In practice, hot melt adhesive tape has the worst weather resistance. In winter, the temperature suddenly drops, and the stickiness may decrease or even disappear when used outdoors. In summer, hot melt adhesive glue will soften at high temperatures, and it is easy to have residual glue and overflow glue. Rubber-type glue has a relatively high temperature resistance, and can withstand temperatures up to about 200°C. The adhesiveness of the tape using rubber-type glue is less affected by the climate, and the adhesiveness is stable, so it can be used with confidence. Do you have a preliminary understanding of the impact of temperature in different seasons on the adhesiveness of the tape? If you have any questions, you can consult the tape manufacturer for further information.
