Filament tapes are pressure-sensitive tape made from a highly strong and durable polypropylene material that has an advanced adhesive system and glass-reinforced core. These filament tapes possess high tensile strength, which is enhanced by adding extra glass fiber. Consequently, there are high, medium, and low-grade products available in the U.S. market. In addition, these flexible films can also be used to seal cartons, package goods, and other large-sized items.
Because of its exceptional adhesive properties, filament tapes are highly useful for packaging and storing items that need protection from external factors such as sunlight, air, moisture, and abrasion. In addition, the tapes are also used for applying protective coatings on household goods for instance food packages. Filament tapes are effective for covering electrical components in electronic products and medical devices.
One of the most common uses for filament tapes is for packaging medical supplies and instruments. The tapes are very useful for packaging and carrying products that experience high impact or weight. This includes automotive products such as car parts, filters, wheels, tires, and hoses. In addition, it is very helpful in protecting the surfaces of delicate and expensive glass and ceramic products such as vases, dishes, cups, saucers, and bowls. Besides, it is used for preparing carbonated beverages by wrapping carbon fiber strips or fibers around an aluminum can or bottle, which provides a tight seal to prevent easy chipping or breaking.
Filament tapes have various advantages. The first advantage is its adhesive easiness, which makes it suitable for a wide variety of applications. In addition, it has high dimensional stability for excellent resistance to compression and stretching due to thermal expansion and contraction during use. Moreover, it is available in different configurations such as single continuous, double continuous, tri-fold, and laminated, cross-linked, and seamless rolls. These allow for easy packaging and transportation for varied applications.
