Every industry needs something different from its packaging adhesives—but some concerns are universal. Without proper bonding or environmental protection, packaging adhesive can fail, causing damage to the product. Specialty adhesives are often expensive and lack the versatility manufacturers need when shipping a variety of goods.

BOPP rubber-based carton sealing tapes are useful for shipping all types of products in operations of any size. Adherex’s rubber-based CSTs also protect overfilled and rough packaging, eliminating the need for multiple specialty tapes in the same warehouse.

Solvent Natural Rubber CST:

Solvent natural rubber CSTs are aggressive adhesive tapes used for carton sealing. They create a strong bond quicker than other packaging tapes, which helps them bond better to rough surfaces than other adhesives. Adherex’s solvent natural rubber CSTs are made for handheld use, allowing for a quick and easy on-the-floor package sealing solution. The tapes are resistant to fluctuating temperatures in moist or dry environments and are approved for indirect food packaging, enabling flexible use across a wide range of products.

Synthetic Hot Melt Rubber CST:

Synthetic hot melt rubber CSTs are as strong as solvent natural rubber CSTs but are designed primarily for machine use. Adherex’s hot melt tapes come in various film and total thicknesses to accommodate rough surfaces and heavy-duty applications. Traditional hot melt tapes are more vulnerable to damage from extreme temperatures, but Adherex offers specialty hot melt CSTs that can withstand cold storage uses.

Both natural and synthetic rubber CSTs are affordable and flexible options that fit the general needs of any warehouse. Cost-effective and reliable, Adherex’s rubber-based carton sealing tapes help distributors protect their products during storage and shipping.

What is the difference between solvent natural rubber and hot melt rubber-based CSTs?

Solvent natural rubber CSTs are hand-use tapes, where hot melt CSTs can be used in a packaging machine. Both tapes have very strong adhesives, ideal for rough surfaces.

What are the best applications for BOPP rubber-based CSTs?

Both solvent natural and hot melt adhesive rubber-based CSTs bond to general-use packaging materials, making them ideal for common shipping and storage applications.

Are BOPP rubber-based CSTs safe for indirect food packaging?

Adherex’s solvent natural rubber adhesive tapes are FDA approved for indirect food packaging.

Understanding the shelf life of adhesive tapes requires some consideration and management on the part of distributors, shippers, and manufacturers. Industrial buyers may purchase dozens or even hundreds of rolls of tape at once and must think about how to best manage shelf life. Custom tapes and other specialty packaging products can have long lead times due to the manufacturing process, which further complicates the shelf life of adhesive tapes.
