Material and technology of plastic edging tape

ODM plastic edging tape manufacturer and exporter

In modern life, although it may seem insignificant, plastic edging tape plays a vital role in many fields, from furniture to office supplies, from interior decoration to car interior, it can be seen. The quality depends largely on the materials and production processes used.
First of all, let's explore the properties of the material used in the plastic edging tape. Common plastic edging tape materials are mainly PVC (polyvinyl chloride), ABS (acrylonitrile-butadiene-styrene copolymer) and so on.
PVC is a widely used plastic material. It has good flexibility and can adapt to a variety of different shapes of product edges. At the same time, PVC materials have certain chemical resistance and can resist the erosion of some chemical substances that may be encountered in daily use. Moreover, the plastic edging tape is rich in color and can be customized according to different needs to meet the requirements of various decorative styles. However, PVC material also has its shortcomings, such as softening and deformation may occur in high temperature environments, so the application in some high temperature occasions will be limited.
ABS material plastic edging tape tape has higher strength and hardness. It has great wear resistance and can withstand prolonged friction without being easily damaged. ABS material also has good impact resistance and is not easy to break when hit by external force. In addition, the surface gloss of ABS sealing band is higher, which can give the product a more beautiful appearance. However, relatively speaking, the cost of ABS materials will be slightly higher than that of PVC.
Next, we take a closer look at the impact of the production process on the quality of the plastic edging tape. The production process mainly includes extrusion, molding, printing and other links.
The extrusion process is one of the key links in the production of plastic edging tape. In this process, raw materials are melted by high heat and then extruded through an extruder into long strips of specific shapes. It is very important to control the temperature, pressure and speed of extrusion process. If the temperature is too high, it may cause material decomposition, affecting product quality; If the temperature is too low, the material may not be able to melt sufficiently, resulting in defects in the product. The control of pressure and speed also needs to be just right to ensure that the extruded sideband is uniform in size and smooth in surface.
The molding process determines the final shape and dimensional accuracy of the sideband. Through the precise design and control of the die, the edge of the sealing band can be neat and the Angle is accurate. At the same time, the cooling rate during the molding process will also affect the performance of the product. If the cooling is not uniform, it may cause stress inside the sealing strip, affecting its service life.
The printing process adds rich colors and patterns to the plastic edging tape. High-quality printing process can make the pattern clear, bright colors, and has good adhesion, not easy to fade. In the printing process, the choice of ink, printing pressure and temperature and other factors need to be strictly controlled.
In short, the material characteristics of the plastic edging tape and the production process are related to each other, and jointly determine the quality of the product. Only the selection of appropriate materials, combined with scientific and reasonable production process, in order to produce high-quality plastic edging tape tape to meet the needs of different fields and users. With the continuous progress of science and technology, I believe that the materials and processes of plastic edging tape will continue to innovate and develop, bringing more convenience and beauty to our lives.
