It’s no secret that boats require proper care and attention from start to finish – and that includes when in use and storage. But it isn’t as widely acknowledged that tape plays a major factor in rework reduction and finish protection.
Choosing a tape that performs well with low surface energy (LSE) materials can make or break your boat-building process right from the start.
Choosing quality masking and painter's tape is critical, as the durability of these products can create small efficiencies that add up to big savings over the course of a job by helping crews work quicker while preventing waste and rework.
A little tape product knowledge up front can help you work easier and save you headaches or costly mistakes from tape failure in the long run.
When it comes to selecting a duct tape, it’s important to understand how they are tested and measured.
Specific conditions and parameters must be considered before determining which tape to use in order to avoid an improperly sealed system as well as code violations.
Delicate surface painter’s tapes are designed for jobs that demand an extra-gentle tape for use on application surfaces that are delicate and easily damaged.
Case sealing partners can not only lessen the amount of stress DFCs assume as throughput increases, but they can also improve efficiencies – and profits – in the process.
HVAC tapes are typically constructed with an adhesive and a backing. Some may also require a liner to ensure the tape doesn't stick to itself. Each part of the tape's construction plays a vital role in its performance. Backings aren’t just for aesthetic appeal....
Have you ever ordered something online and received a package that has been sealed with tape that is printed with the store’s brand logo, promotional information, or other instructions? The “Amazon Effect” is strong even in the packaging industry, and as online...
Duct tape and Duck Tape® are often used interchangeably, but they aren’t quite the same thing.
In HVAC work, the application and service temperature of your HVAC tape may not be the same, and each can have an impact on the tape’s performance.
Packaging tape grades indicate different construction and uses. In packaging tape, grade refers to the construction of the tape. Grades are made with varying levels of film and adhesive thickness to deliver a range of different holding power and tensile strength....
From nature to product design, the colors that we experience in our daily lives can greatly affect our emotions and influence our behavior. When used systematically, color can also serve as an effective tool of order, organization and communication. Throughout the...
We’ve all been told to never judge a book by its cover, but the reality is that we – consumers and businesses, alike – evaluate purchases and investments by their outward appearance all the time. And that evaluation is even more discerning when it comes to...
