What is fiber reinforced tape?

Fiberglass reinforced tape is a tape that has inlays of reinforcing fiberglass elements for added stability, strength, and reliability. The main uses of a fiberglass tape can be palletizing, unitizing, and bundling of packages and products. This specific Filament Tape can hold up to 175 lbs of tensile strength.

Is Kraft tape water activated?

Kraft tape is made of reinforced fiberglass. Water-activated Kraft tape and machines work together to make a strong tape for securing packages. Machines are used to apply water to the Kraft tape, activating the tape’s adhesive. Kraft tape is made of reinforced fiberglass.

How strong is filament tape?

Tensile strengths of strapping and filament tapes range from 100lbs to 600lbs per inch of width. Filament tape can sometimes be manufactured with cotton or synthetic filaments.

How long does it take for activated tape to dry?

5-7 seconds
What separates Water Activated Tape from other packaging tapes, both the non-reinforced and reinforced grades, is the adhesive migrates into the fibers of the corrugated box. Once the adhesive dries – within 5-7 seconds – the adhesive has fused the tape and box together.

How do you activate water reinforced tape?

Gummed tape is best used in conjunction with a water-activated tape dispenser which, in its most rudimentary form, wets and cuts the tape. More sophisticated dispensers automatically feed, moisten, and cut the tape to a pre-determined length. Packers then take the tape and apply it to the shipping carton.

Is reinforced kraft tape recyclable?

The paper on reinforced WAT is still recyclable, but the fiberglass component is filtered out during the recycling process. Self-adhesive kraft paper tape, another recyclable option, is also made of paper but uses a natural rubber-based bonding agent.

How do you activate Kraft tape with water?

To use water activated gummed packaging tape, you’ll need to apply moisture/water to the bottom (non-printed side) of the tape. You can do this manually by using a wet sponge (included with your order) or by using a tape machine/dispenser (sold separately).

Is reinforced tape waterproof?
