BOPP Packing Tape

BOPP packing tape is made from biaxial oriented polypropylene (BOPP) film. The special molecular structure and the resin stabilization of polypropylene offer excellent mechanical and optical properties. Its rugged structure and high tensile strength make it the ideal material for packaging and labeling. BOPP packing tape is also resistant to abrasion, moisture and various chemical solvents. 

BOPP packing tape are coated with different types of adhesive. The most commonly used are hot melt synthetic rubber and acrylic. Hot melt adhesives are one of the most widely used because of the consistent, reliable and quick seals. This kind of adhesive quickly bonds to the surface and offers high tensile strength, which make it one of the best choices for securing shipment. The packaging tape could adhere well to various surfaces including film and fiberboard.

Acrylic adhesives are another good option. They do not bond as quickly as hot melt adhesives (it has decent initial adhesion but it features gradual adhesion buildup that require around 24 hours to achieve maximum bond strength), but they have better heat, UV and shear resistance. This type of adhesive is recommended for heady-duty and long-term packaging.
