How Do You Properly Apply Single-Side Bopp Adhesive Tape?

Bopp tape, also known as biaxially oriented polypropylene (BOPP) packing tape, is an adhesive tape that has been manufactured using a special process. It is designed to be used for sealing heavy carton boxes, and it performs well in a wide variety of temperatures.

The adhesive is made from a liquid that is bonded to the backing material, which can be any type of paper, plastic film, cloth, or metal foil. Once the tape is wound into a roll, it is cut to various widths by a slitting machine.

Some adhesives require water, solvent, or heat to activate their bonding properties. They may also change phases, meaning they shift from a liquid to a solid when exposed to temperature or pressure changes.
When choosing the right adhesive tape, ask yourself a few questions to help you decide on the best type for your specific application. The answers to these questions will help you determine if the adhesive is strong enough for the task at hand, and if it will be compatible with the surrounding conditions and materials.

Adhesive tests are an excellent way to assess the strength of the tape and ensure it will hold up against the forces that could potentially tear or separate it from its surface. Shear force resistance testing is especially helpful in determining the bonding potential of the tape. It can help you to understand how the tape will hold up under a range of tensile and shear forces, and what kind of storage conditions are best for its use.
