Essentra Specialty Tapes has introduced several double-sided tapes that will adhere to UV coated material such as boxes, cartons, posters, P.O.P. displays, lightweight forms, easels, shelf tabs, wobblers, danglers, and many other printed materials.
To improve tape adhesion when applied to UV coated material, Essentra has formulated special adhesives with UV inhibitors to manufacture tapes with strong adhesion. The two lines are Duraco Red and 2811 Tissue Tape.
“A printer for one of our customers forgot to block out areas on the customer’s UV coated cell phone cartons," explains Andrew Ford, director of sales. "After the entire job was run, reworking the printed carton material was no longer an option, and the entire order would have had to be scrapped. However, when the customer discovered that our unique Essentra tapes will work on these defective packages, they were able to save the production run.”
Duraco Red is a modified acrylic adhesive that produces a permanent and strong bond for this new versatile double-sided clear film tape. High performance Duraco Red tape was designed for hard-to-stick applications, such as UV coatings, with a strong plasticizer resistance. Its release liner and permanent tape are both transparent, allowing the user to accurately position the tape while applying it to a surface with graphics or text underneath. It is available in pre-cut pieces on a roll, varying from 1,000 to 7,500 pieces per roll.
2811 Tissue Tape is a modified hot melt rubber-based adhesive that creates a high performance adhesion that is characteristic of this family of tissue tapes. It is designed for application on difficult surfaces and materials that are lightweight. The extra width (dry edge) allows the liner to be removed more quickly and easily, as compared to flush-edge liners, where the liner and adhesive are the same width. 2811 Tissue Tapes are available in short rolls of 216 ft. or standard rolls of 2,000 ft.
