To minimize the chances of adhesive residue, it’s recommended to Gaffers tape with Natural rubber adhesive.
Natural Rubber Adhesive Gaffer’s Tape:
Natural rubber adhesives are characterized by their extremely long polymer chains which allows the natural rubber to be very flexible, even at low temperatures. The long polymer chains also create the strength of the natural rubber adhesive.
The Advantage of Natural Rubber Adhesive Gaffers tape:
- Excellent peel adhesion to non-polar and polar surfaces.
- High initial tack (immediate peel adhesion).
- Residue-free after removed.
Synthetic Rubber Adhesive Gaffer’s Tape:
When we talking about synthetic rubber adhesive cloth tape, manufacturers often tell you these terms spoken of: SBS, SIS, Hot Melt, or SEBS. That is why a synthetic rubber adhesive is often referred to as a “Hot Melt” adhesive.
