Things to Know
Storage Conditions
Storage conditions can have a huge effect on the shelf life and dependability of tape. As most adhesives are a semi liquid material, high and low temperature exposure can change the desired performance of a tape. When they get very hot (above 150F), the adhesive will begin to flow and may thin out and/or ooze beyond the liner. When they get very cold (below 20F), the adhesive will harden and if applied before restoring to room temperature, they may not adhere well. It is important to store your tapes in these recommended storage conditions:
• 68 – 72° F / 20 – 22° C
• 50% relative humidity
• Rolls store flat in their original packaging, spools should be stored with the arrows on the box in the correct position and both always from direct sources of UV (i.e., lights, sun).
