When choosing a PE protection tape that suits your needs, you can consider the following aspects:
Base material thickness: Thicker base materials offer better protection against scratches and impacts but may be less flexible. For objects that require high - strength protection, such as stone or metal products, a tape with a thicker base material (around 100 - 200 microns) can be chosen. For relatively delicate surfaces like electronic device screens, a thinner base material (30 - 80 microns) is more suitable to ensure good flexibility and conformability.
Adhesive type and strength: Different adhesives have different characteristics. Acrylic - based adhesives have good heat resistance and weather resistance, while rubber - based adhesives offer strong initial tack. If the protected object will be exposed to high temperatures or outdoor environments, an acrylic - based adhesive is preferred. For objects that require immediate and strong adhesion, a rubber - based adhesive can be considered. In terms of adhesive strength, it should be selected according to the surface characteristics of the object. Smooth surfaces like glass and metal require tapes with moderate adhesive strength (about 10 - 20 N/25mm), while rough surfaces may need tapes with stronger adhesive strength (20 - 30 N/25mm).
Width and length: The width of the tape should match the size of the object to be protected. For narrow objects such as small - diameter pipes or wires, a narrow - width tape (10 - 50 mm) is sufficient. For large - area surfaces like furniture panels or building facades, wide - width tapes (100 - 500 mm) are more suitable to improve work efficiency. The length of the tape can be selected according to the quantity and frequency of use. Generally, rolls with a length of 50 - 100 meters are more commonly used.
Release liner properties: If the tape needs to be stored for a long time or requires multiple removals and re - applications, a release liner with good release properties is essential. The release liner should be easy to peel off without leaving residue on the adhesive surface and should be able to maintain its release performance after multiple uses.
Environmental requirements: Consider the environmental conditions where the tape will be used. If it is in a humid environment, a tape with good waterproof and moisture - resistant properties is needed. For applications in high - temperature environments, a tape with high - temperature resistance should be selected. Additionally, if environmental protection is a concern, choose tapes that are made of environmentally friendly materials and are easy to recycle.
