Hot-melt is a low-temperature melting plastic, which makes this adhesive have low temperature resistance. It also ages poorly (becoming brittle) and has low UV resistance. This rubber is used for low- to medium-duty carton sealing, low-temperature splicing as well as paper core starting applications.
Another emerging application of flame retardant tapes is in the realm of renewable energy, particularly in the installation of solar panels and wind turbines. These installations often require materials that can withstand high temperatures and environmental stresses. Flame retardant tapes provide essential protection in these settings, helping to maintain the integrity and safety of the energy generation systems.
In the construction industry, fire-resistant adhesive is commonly used in building materials such as insulation, drywall, and flooring. These adhesives help to improve the fire safety of buildings by limiting the spread of flames in the event of a fire. They also help to protect the structural integrity of buildings by preventing the collapse of walls and ceilings.
