How To Find The Right Kind Of Tape For Your Company’s Needs
If you're reading this page, there's a good chance you're considering a change in your company's tape supply. Before making that switch, it's worth taking a closer look at the tape you're currently using:
- Are you using a tape because that's the way you've always done it?
- How much money are you losing or wasting in your work processes?
At Englewood Industrial Solutions, we help you answer these questions in your search.
What are some misconceptions?
1. A tape’s stickiness is not always a good indicator of its adhesive performance.
We’ve seen many of our clients using the ‘thumb test’ — how well the tape sticks to one’s thumb as an indicator for how well it will stick to an application — to evaluate tape. There are many different kinds of tape and each will work differently depending on the specific surfaces it is applied to. Let our industrial tape experts guide you!
2. Specifications of your current tape may not be what you need.
Don’t start your tape selection process by simply comparing datasheets. Unless you are adhering tape to stainless steel or kraft paper surfaces, most adhesion data will have limited usefulness.
3. The brand of tape you use is not nearly as important as you think!
The brand name should not be a starting point to identify the most cost-effective industrial tapes for your applications. Tape manufacturers offer a wide variety of tapes, each with its own level of performance characteristics for particular applications. Brand names are more of a marketing tool than a reliable indicator of performance — ask our industrial tape experts for help instead!
4. Think about the application and the actual size of tape you require.
Buying rolls of tape can be effective for certain applications, but in many cases, it‘s not as cost-effective as buying specially-sized pieces of tape. There are many common sizes of tape rolls that could help, but in some cases, it’s more efficient to complete the application with a fabricated roll or part.
