For Carton Box-Sealing: A Guide to Choose Kraft Paper Tapes In the e-commerce industry, kraft paper tapes are mainly used to replace filament tapes for carton sealing. Kraft paper gives the packaging a neat and professional look when delivered to the doorsteps. The most widely accepted reason for applying degradable kraft paper tapes is its recyclability, especially when used on a large scale. However, on cartons, kraft paper tapes can perform very differently by type. Here are a few kinds of Kingnode kraft paper tapes.  Flatback Tape Rubber-based adhesives are most commonly seen in pressure-sensitive tapes. As one of the variations of rubber, hot melt adhesives in paper tapes are ideal for applications requiring fast bonding and high adhesion, especially in packaging environments. Hot melt provides instant bonding strength for sealing boxes and cartons. Kingnode offers hot melt kraft paper tapes to secure supplies from pilfering. Among all kraft paper tapes, flatback tapes excel in their adhesion strength.   Gummed Tape Although their adhesion is not as strong as that of flatback tapes, gummed tapes form a biochemical bond with polar surfaces made from wood pulp. Composed of glucose units, the hydroxyl (–OH) groups in starch molecules can form hydrogen bonds with polar materials. On cartons, starch adhesives create a tight sealing, with a chemical bond that hardens over time. Compared to traditional backings such as PET and BOPP, kraft paper allows the application of starch-based adhesives, which have no harmful chemicals during exposure to people. Acrylics, when in water-activated condition, is another bio-degradable adhesion in kraft paper tapes. In wet, acrylics can be thinned by water while in dry, acrylics can absorb a small amount of moisture.  Reinforced Gummed Tape Kraft paper tapes are mostly reinforced by fiberglass, as fiberglass has a strong molecular structure and can enhance the tensile strength of the tape, especially when the adhesion is made from starch, which does not have the same level of molecular strength as synthetic adhesives. Reinforced gummed tapes have fiberglass reinforcement in addition to gummed tapes. 100% Degradable Reinforced Gummed Tape 100% degradable kraft paper tapes give an organic and chemical-free option for commercial case-sealing owing to their naturally made characteristics. Here we would like to mention that not all kraft paper tapes are degradable. Along with the fiberglass-reinforced kraft paper tapes, Kingnode offers plant-based yarn to replace synthetic reinforcements. Also functioning as a ‘spine’ to back up the tape, the yarns give extra resilience to endure force against the sealing during application. While kraft paper and starch components are derived from plants, plant-based yarns maintain a similar molecular structure to adhesive mediums.   Conclusion Kraft paper tapes are recyclable not just for its backing m...

Exploring Aerospace Tape Applications In the aerospace industry, safety is always the most critical concern. In high-altitude flight equipment, all components and materials must pass rigorous safety tests to ensure they can withstand immense pressure and extreme temperatures. JL3 is committed to providing safe and reliable aerospace-grade tapes that perform exceptionally well even in harsh environments. In this blog post, we will delve into the applications of aerospace tape and how it helps enhance aviation safety standards. Four Key Uses of Aerospace Tape In the evolving aerospace industry, aerospace tapes are used in a wide range of critical applications, from cable bundling and securing to fire retardant applications, all of which contribute to the overall safety and efficiency of aircraft operations.     Cable Bundling and Securing Cable bundling and securing is one of the most common functions of adhesive tapes, and from the perspective of aviation safety, it is extremely important.  The specialized materials used in aerospace tapes prevent cables and conduits from loosening or wearing out due to vibration or movement during flight, ensuring the reliability of the electrical system under various flight conditions. Insulation and Protection In the harsh environment of aerospace, the safety and reliability of electrical appliances need to be strictly guaranteed. Tape provides electrical insulation to prevent leakage, especially of high voltage cables and connectors. They also protect sensitive equipment and circuitry inside the aircraft from moisture, corrosion and mechanical damage, thereby maintaining the integrity and functionality of electrical systems. Sealing and Waterproofing Aircraft are subjected to enormous stress during flight, and over time, they experience varying degrees of wear and tear. Aerospace tapes are commonly used for sealing aircraft doors, windows, and body seams to prevent the ingress of water, air, or dust, thereby improving cabin sealing. These aerospace tapes can also be used for quick, on-site repairs to minor damage, providing an immediate solution that maintains the aircraft's structural integrity until more comprehensive maintenance can be performed.  Fire Retardancy in Aerospace Fire retardancy is critical to flight safety. Choose appropriate aerospace tape can play a key role in the fire. The specialized fire-retardant materials within aerospace tapes provide strong fire resistance, capable of slowing down the spread of flames, helping to control the fire, and reducing the production of smoke and toxic gases. This maximizes the safety of personnel and helps the crew to respond and take action more quickly. Choosing JL3 for Your Aerospace Tape Needs JL3 is an industry-leading manufacturer with years of experience specializing in the research, development, manufacturing, and sales of adhesive tapes. We offer high-quality aerospace adhesive tape solutions.   Our aeros...

4 Places Where Adhesive Tapes Are Used in Construction To handle different building materials, certain filament tapes might be needed for residential home builders during the home construction and refurbishment. In general, the manufacture of industrial tapes made the installation and restoration much easier when applied to the right materials. Here are 4 places we use tapes in constructs. Formwork Construction In concrete formwork construction, tape is used to secure and reinforce formwork structures, enhancing their stability and providing extra support to the concrete during the pouring and curing processes. Tapes can also help shield formwork from dust, dirt, and other contaminants that might affect the quality of the concrete or the formwork itself. For the long-term, proper bundling and strapping can make the removal easier once the concrete has cured while preventing concrete from leaking through gaps. Window and door sealing The sealing strips of windows and doors are commonly made of foam fabrics, rubber, and metals. For foam sealing, the double-sided filament tapes are ideal for self-adhesion in between the strips. JL3’s JLW-313 double sided filament tape is exclusively suitable for window & door sealing, as air-tight in-between the strips is ensured with synthetic rubber adhesion during use while the glassine paper releasing layer makes the tape easy to peel. Floor insulation Double-sided filament tapes are often used to bond flooring layers together. With good viscosity on rough surfaces, our JLW-323 is suitable for adhesion to the insulation layer of the floor. Floor insulation helps to reduce heat loss in cold weather and improves comfort. Meanwhile, adhesive tapes are more affordable than other means of gum floor insulation. Wiring& Piping When we re-furnish our homes, we may need to bundle and secure the interior wires. Our JLW-308 Special Tape is ideal for internal bundling and fixing with abrasion and moisture resistance. More types of filament tapes with PET backing are also suitable for neat organization and grouping of the cables, avoiding crossing. Alongside the cables and wiring, JL3 also provides adhesive tapes for surface protection. Our tapes can be used for quick repair of minor surface damage on household electrical appliances, such as cracks or scratches. Good insulation is guaranteed when applied, and therefore prevent electric leakage. For construction components made of steel, we have our JLT-698 for most restoration needs. It performs high strength and is suitable for bundling the wire rope of a bridge while performing well on steel bundling, preventing displacement. For pipe strapping, our JLT-5160 performs its advantage in its strength and flexibility. Its chemical fiber reinforcement enhanced its strength on a molecular scale, while the rubber-based adhesive is compatible on common piping materials such as synthetic rubber, plastics and&n...

How to Select Right Packaging Tape with Different Strength When it comes to industrial packaging, selecting the right tape can significantly impact both performance and cost-efficiency. With a broad spectrum of filament tapes available, understanding how to match tape features with your specific strength requirements is crucial for making a budget-conscious choice. Here’s a comprehensive guide to help you navigate through the different types of industrial packaging tapes and select the most cost-effective option for the required strength. Light-Strength Packaging Tapes For packaging that requires a balance of performance and cost, light-strength packaging tapes are ideal. These tapes are designed to handle intermediate-strength packaging while being economical. For example, JL3s offers a range of filament tapes that are particularly suited for light to intermediate-strength applications. These tapes feature an elongation of 3% to 5%, which means they can stretch slightly to accommodate different sizes and shapes of packages without compromising their seal. JL3s’ light-strength tapes use rubber-based adhesives that provide good stickiness even in small amounts. The rubber adhesive is reinforced with glass fiber, which enhances its durability while maintaining flexibility—a crucial factor in ensuring that the tape adheres well to various surfaces without tearing easily. These tapes are available with plastic backings such as BOPP (Biaxially Oriented Polypropylene) and PET (Polyethylene Terephthalate). PET-backed tapes are often more cost-effective for lighter packages due to their adequate tensile strength, while BOPP-backed tapes offer slightly more durability and strength for packaging that demands a bit more resilience. Medium-Strength Packaging Tapes For medium-weight packaging, JL3s provides filament tapes that offer enhanced performance in terms of holding power and moisture resistance. For instance, the JLT-605 Single-Sided Mono Filament Tape is designed with PET film that provides chemical inertness, making it suitable for marine carton packaging and other damp environments. This tape excels in maintaining adhesion and strength even when exposed to moisture. Another option is the JLW-306 Special Tape, which features a mesh-like PET backing that improves resistance to abrasion. This tape is designed to withstand the rigors of handling and transportation while providing reliable sealing performance for medium-weight packages. Heavy-Duty Packaging Tapes When dealing with heavy loads, choosing a tape with superior strength and durability is essential. JL3s’ heavy-duty filament tapes are specifically engineered to handle demanding packaging applications. For example, the JLT-5160 Strong Tensile Single-Sided Chemical Fiber Mono Filament Tape is reinforced with chemical fibers to offer exceptional tensile strength and long-term holding power. This tape is ideal for securing ...
