Pro Tapes ® History Dedicated to the development of high quality pressure sensitive tapes since 1977. Why not try a custom shape label? Perfect for adding personality to your products, a custom shape can elevate your design and mirror your branding so that it's cohesive across your product range.

Tecbond 2507 FS: the low peel strength is suitable for temporary bonds – like when attaching credit cards to paper. The product comes as a small pillow and is easily loaded into the Tec 4500 B glue gun. Glue dots can be a preferred alternative to hot glues, liquid glues, and tapes. They’re usually cleaner and easier to use, with no risk of burns. However, they still share some of the same limitations eg:

Removable adhesives are pressure-sensitive adhesives, which when it has been applied to a surface may be easily removed at a later date. The adhesive itself displays relatively low final adhesion. Although it adheres firmly to the substrate, it can be removed again for quite a long period of time. Ease of removal depends on the nature of the substrate, the conditions at the time of application and the environmental conditions during the service life of the label. Water-borne adhesives offer several open times from short to indefinite and can be removed without chemical solvents. Their initial strength is moderate and drying times longer compared to solvent-based adhesives, but they have wide application temperature ranges. They must be protected from freezing. Solvent-borne adhesives can be used for pressure sensitive applications and removed by heat or solvents. They have long open times and excellent initial strength, which is useful when assembling large or 3-dimensional products. Many application processes can be used in a wide temperature range. They do require vapor control and sometimes flammability controls. If you require a label that is easy to remove, allowing your customer to take it off of your product without damaging it, you are in the right place! Glue dots are pre-extruded hot melt adhesives. They’re applied cold and provide a clean and instant bond. Glue dots are supplied on a silicone release – so are easy to remove without leaving any mess or residue. They’re also acid and odour free.Often, removable adhesives are used for positioning parts to be bonded by other means. High creep, low resistance to temperature or solvents, all characteristics detrimental in a structural adhesive, are desirable when the adhesive is used as a positioning aid during product assembly. Open time and initial bond must also be considered. Three types of elastomer adhesives offer different properties for removable bonds: The future of removable adhesives is our range of PurityWash adhesives which includes water wash off and caustic wash off adhesives. These maximise the recyclability of PP, PE, HDPE and PET bottles and containers as the adhesives wash off in the recycling process. Examples of Removable Adhesives in Applications Unwanted Food or Drink Products - Once supply conditions are broken, there are a number of factors outside of our control that can affect the quality of a product. Therefore perishable goods such as food and drink cannot be returned.

Hot-melt adhesives are 100 % solid, so no solvent is required for application, only heat. These come in a wide variety of formulations that offer short to indefinite open times. Initial bond strength is controlled by temperature of the adhesive and substrate. They have high water-resistance, so solvents must be used for removal. Their material cost lies between solvent and water-based adhesives Examples of temporary adhesives include wood glues, elastomers, silicone sealants and pressure sensitive tapes or films.
