Introduction
Cold temperatures can present unique challenges for adhesive products. Hot melt tape is widely used for packaging, but how does it perform in sub-zero environments? In this blog, we’ll explore how hot melt tape performs in cold conditions, its recommended specifications, and the best practices for using it in cold environments.
Performance of Hot Melt Tape in Cold Conditions
hot melt tapes perform well in cold temperatures, but their adhesion strength can be reduced in extreme cold. For best results, it is important to choose a tape that is specifically designed for low-temperature environments. These tapes are formulated to maintain adhesion even in freezing conditions.
Recommended Tape Specifications
-
Cold-Resistant Formulations: Choose hot melt tapes that are specifically designed to adhere in temperatures as low as -20°C or even lower.
-
Width and Thickness: The most common sizes are 48mm and 72mm wide, with thicknesses ranging from 0.05mm to 0.15mm, depending on the specific packaging requirements.
