Selecting Low Tack Tape for Die Cutting in Industrial Manufacturing

From the simplest industrial manufacturing process to the highly complex and compact designs, precision and streamlined efficiencies are paramount to a successful project. Die cutting provides precision and performance to manufacturing – cutting raw materials with exacting specifications. When combined with the right adhesives and tapes, converting processes achieve another level of excellence.

At Polymer Science, our team of engineers and designers work across a wide range of industries from highly specialized tapes for skin contact, thermal interface materials, and EMI shielding & grounding. Many manufacturers and suppliers consult with us regarding the ideal manufacturing aids for die cutting.

In this article, we delve into the realm of low tack tape, exploring its pivotal role in die cutting operations, and offering insights on how to select the ideal tape to optimize your industrial needs.

Understanding Low Tack Tape

Low tack tape, also known as low adhesion tape, is characterized by its gentle, easily removable adhesive properties. Unlike regular adhesive tapes that can leave residue and damage surfaces upon removal, low tack tapes offer a temporary and secure hold without compromising the material’s integrity.

These tapes are engineered to have minimal adhesive strength, making them ideal for applications where you need to secure materials during manufacturing without the risk of damage.
