There's a reel of material which has splices connected by regular transparent sealing tape. The bobbin has to be heated for manufacturing. Do you think the heat of up to ~60C degrees could have an affect on tape adhesives?
"Regular" isn't a terribly specific term. A temperature of 60 C can turn adhesives dry, brittle, gummy, or any combination of the above plus other effects. Without more detail, you're faced with doing the actual time at T measurements yourself.Butters said:regular transparent sealing tape
Heat can have a significant impact on the adhesive strength of sealing tape. When exposed to high temperatures, the adhesive can soften and lose its ability to bond effectively with surfaces, resulting in weakened sealing strength.
The exact temperature at which the adhesive strength of sealing tape begins to weaken will depend on the specific type of tape and adhesive used. In general, most sealing tapes will start to experience reduced bonding strength at temperatures above 120°F (49°C).
Yes, extremely cold temperatures can also affect the adhesive strength of sealing tape. When exposed to freezing temperatures, the adhesive can become brittle and lose its ability to adhere properly, resulting in reduced sealing strength.
In some cases, the adhesive strength of sealing tape can be restored after exposure to high heat. However, this will depend on the severity of the heat exposure and the specific type of tape and adhesive used. It is best to consult the manufacturer's recommendations for proper storage and usage in high heat environments.
Yes, there are specialized types of sealing tape that are designed to withstand high temperatures and maintain their adhesive strength. These tapes often utilize heat-resistant adhesives or have a higher melting point. It is important to choose a tape that is appropriate for the specific temperature conditions it will be exposed to.
