Heat affect on sealing tape adhesive strength

Click For Summary
SUMMARY

Heat exposure of up to 60°C significantly impacts the adhesive strength of regular transparent sealing tape. At this temperature, adhesives can become dry, brittle, or gummy, leading to compromised sealing integrity. The discussion emphasizes the necessity of conducting specific time-at-temperature measurements to assess the actual effects on the adhesive properties of the tape used in manufacturing processes.

PREREQUISITES
  • Understanding of adhesive chemistry and properties
  • Familiarity with temperature effects on materials
  • Knowledge of manufacturing processes involving sealing tapes
  • Experience with experimental measurement techniques
NEXT STEPS
  • Research the effects of temperature on adhesive properties in sealing applications

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.
