Sticky Truth about 3M Tape and Other Adhesive Tapes: Strength of Bond


Not all substances are composed of molecules that exhibit wetting or induce Van der Waal’s forces. Polymer, the main component of most adhesives are among the materials which show strength in both processes, making them effective for pressure sensitive bonding. Likewise, they have large molecules such that even with minimal Van der Waal’s forces, they are strong enough to produce a binding reaction with the molecules of other substances.

At Home or at Work, Enjoy Twice the Advantages of Double Sided Tape


Since its invention in 1930, adhesive tape has invaded anywhere two surfaces of any material need to be joined temporarily or permanently. Modern double sided tape was developed by coating both sides of the tape with adhesive. This simple but brilliant product has brought convenience to homes, offices, and factories worldwide, as told by Martin Sadler in an article for SelfGrowth.com. Those who enjoy creating items for their children, or who run a small craft business, use it to join together pieces and parts that will not or cannot accept glue… Some even use it to join together pieces of wooden picture frames, and in some cases for applying pictures to the wall.

3M Tape: A Simple and Practical Invention that the World Got Stuck On


Started out for Cars The young 3M technician noticed that car painters were having difficulty applying separate colors while painting two-toned cars. As a solution, he treated crepe paper with pressure-sensitive adhesive and used the resulting product to cover vehicle sections that require a color different from the paint that was being used at the moment. This proved to be the birth of masking tape. The Difference is Clear Richard Drew then began experimenting with a transparent material called cellophane to try and duplicate his earlier success with masking tape. By 1930, 3M was marketing Richard’s invention as Scotch Tape. This was at the height of the Great Depression, and the simple invention became an unlikely symbol of hope for the impoverished because of its reliability and versatility.

The Storied History and Continued Use of Adhesive Tape Technology


Have you ever stopped to think how an everyday utility like adhesive tape came about? Contrary to what you may think, such a simple convenience we enjoy today took centuries to invent and improve. Adhesive has quite a bit of history behind it, and an article published by The Human Touch of Chemistry highlighted its origins as well as its continued use to see how this commonplace wonder helps make our lives easier. Back in the day The use of adhesives began in the time of the Ancient Egyptians, who extracted sticky substances from animal bones and tissue to create the first usable adhesive for woodworking and papyrus production. Fast forward a few thousand years to 1925 AD, an American named Richard Drew coated cellophane with adhesive to create the prototype of what would eventually become “cellophane tape” as we know it today.

Packaging Supplies in Melbourne: Essentials for Online Retail Stores


A truck or ship transporting the goods will be subject to different weather conditions. Since some fabrics in clothing and footwear are highly susceptible to damage once exposed to moisture, water, or heat, the boxes they come in will have to be sealed tightly with heavy-duty adhesive tape products like strapping or foam tape. There’s no stopping the growth of the e-commerce industry in Australia, especially clothing and footwear. To ensure that their products remain in pristine condition until these get to the customers, retailers can rely on online suppliers like Adhesives Tapes Australia for their durable packing supplies.

Quality Double Sided Tapes Have Sufficient Strength for Carpentry Work


"The benefits of adhesive tapes to carpentry has actually long been recognized by those engaged in the craft, as well as by adhesive manufacturers. In fact, leading double sided tape makers have been introducing new products that can help in improving the efficiency of sawing, nailing, and chiselling processes. After all, if the goal is to secure heavy pieces of wood together, the tape to be used has to have the right strength and adhesive properties. In choosing a double sided tape for heavy-duty carpentry work, certain properties have to be kept in check. Bonding performance, of course, is very important, and 3M tape quality can be a big help. However, too much stickiness can also damage the surface of wood when taken off. Likewise, those working on fine furniture should stay away from adhesives which leave hard-to-remove residues. Adhesives that can withstand extreme temperatures and work on oily surfaces might also be ideal."

The Role of Adhesive Tape in Keeping Workplaces Safe and Efficient


"Floor marking tapes, on the other hand, are installed on floors of industrial plants and manufacturing facilities as a means of guiding operations and preventing workers from heading toward dangerous and restricted areas. They are also used to reduce downtime by ensuring proper equipment storage. Floor marking tapes come in different colors and levels of durability. Each color and pattern represents a particular instruction or warning, which promotes the 5S in the workplace. 5S refers to the five ingredients of a fully functioning, highly efficient, and well-organized workplace: sort, set in order, shine, standardize, and sustain."

Use Strong Packaging Supplies in Melbourne to Secure Your Moving Boxes


"The right packaging tape can spell the difference between a safe shipment, and a moving disaster, so it is important to choose wisely. Likewise, in securing fragile items, including your collectibles, it is advisable to first wrap them with a protective material that can absorb impact, such as bubble wrap or packaging film. Securing these materials may require the use of cloth tapes, or duct tapes, which can adhere to plastic better than other types of tapes. Cloth tapes are also very strong, and can withstand movement and pressure, making them ideal packaging adhesive tapes as well, particularly for heavy objects."
