In our world, we use tape-slitting machines that allow us to convert tape widths according to specification and the material itself. After the application of various coatings – which the backing material receives during the processing – the final coated product is delivered to the [...]
No matter how it occurs, failure is frustrating and costly. Especially when it comes to splicing tape failures. Whether it fails because of weakness (snap or tear), carelessness (installation error), or conditions (extreme heat), shutting down any production line is not only incredibly expensive, but potentially [...]
Depending on what you are converting, the manufacturing process and the substrate, there all kinds of possible splices. Choosing the wrong one not only increases the risk of tearing but can slow down the converting process or stop it all together Splicing tape is no [...]
It’s impossible not to take splicing for granted because it’s hidden in the smallest, most disposable objects around you. Take, for example, your favorite morning coffee. That to go coffee cup? The corrugated sleeve? Both made possible by splicing. The shipping box at the post [...]
Combine the versatility of aluminum and the weather-resistant sealing power of pressure sensitive adhesive and you have an extremely versatile product. So much, in fact, that aluminum foil tape is used in the aerospace industry, thanks to its moisture and chemical resistance, thermal conductivity, flame resistance, heat and [...]
What’s the No. 1 reason why contractors love to use adhesive tape on the job site? Because it sticks in almost any condition. That, of course, is the same reason why we loathe it when it won’t come off. Heavy duty construction adhesives and [...]
There’s one thing that you should know about ECHOtape — we like to get dirty. Whether it’s paper mill plants, muddy construction sites or the Alaskan wilderness, we have always gotten down and dirty with our customers. And for good reason: It’s easy to develop products [...]
How does Green Sun Rising harvest the sun’s power in The Great White North? With solar panels and a little help from ECHOtape’s Cold Weather Double-Sided Polyester Tape. Alaska and Northern Canada are rich in renewable energy resources. In fact, recent estimates indicated [...]
On a job site full of tools and specialty equipment, tape may seem as ubiquitous as a hammer and nails. However, nothing beats tape for versatility, portability and ease of use… that is, IF you have the right tape for the job at hand. And that’s [...]
