Product Spotlight
HKC 67 & 65 continue to be the work horse products in the plastic bag closure segment for Infinity Tapes LLC. For secure closure and destruction upon opening, these high adhesion products offer fast dwell adhering to the film surface upon application. The base line recommendation is HKC 67 works perfectly to desired performance on films less than 3 mils thick, and above 3 mils HKC 65 performs like a charm. The adhesion levels on the liner side ensures secure closure with 92 oz/inch on HKC 67 and 123 oz/inch on HKC 65. Combined with the versatility of release liner options such as anti-static liners, these two products can satisfy all your application needs for plastic film closure!
Important Issues
In recent months, we have seen an increase in demand for our products. As such, our lead times on custom products have been extended out. While we strive to meeting our customers supply chain demands, we will work closely with you to ensure we meet your expectations. Please consider these lead times when you are quoting your customers.
Also, in conjunction with increased demand we are seeing a rise in damages to packages in transit. Unfortunately, we do not believe this will change anytime soon as freight volumes will continue to stay high or might even increase for the holiday season.
Things to Know
With our colder weather coming soon, 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).
