Common Applications
Hot-melt is a low-temperature melting plastic, which makes this adhesive have low temperature resistance. It also ages poorly (becoming brittle) and has low UV resistance. This rubber is used for low- to medium-duty carton sealing, low-temperature splicing as well as paper core starting applications.
Polyethylene, polyester, and polyimide are three different types of carrier materials used in adhesive tapes, each with its own advantages and characteristics.
