How do you use heat activated tape?
Heat activated adhesives are generally applied to a substrate via roll coat operation. The coated material is in a non-tacky state until heat is applied, which activates the bonding property. When heat and pressure are applied, the tape is activated, and ultimately provides an extremely high bond.
How do you apply heat seal tape?
To apply seam sealing tape, firstly hot air from the seam sealing machine is blown onto the seam sealing tape loaded on a reel above. This hot air on the tape activates the polyurethane coating or adhesive of the tape.
What is heat seal tape?
