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.
