Industrial sealants play a major role in packaging and usually, these sealants are used in different types of manners. For instance, some of these sealants are designed in such a way that the fluids remain just in the container while other types of sealants are beneficial in preventing leaks or stopping all unwanted materials from accessing any area. Some of these sealants are even used to gap holes or seams.
Now let’s have the details of some kinds of industrial sealants:
1. Neoprene foam tape: This type of closed-cell foam provides great resistance to factors like UV, weathering, Ozone, and petrochemicals and this type of tape is compatible even when in contact with different types of plastics. The best part of this tape is that it is flame-retardant and also complies with the standards of the automotive industry. The Neoprene foam tape is perfectly appropriate for sealing in the transport applications because of its resistance to oil and petrol. Therefore, this tape is often used in sealing applications in vehicles like buses, trucks, different types of specialty vehicles, yachts, boats, and caravans.
2. PVC Nitrile foam tape: This is a type of closed-cell foam tape that offers strong resistance to the packaging against abrasion, weathering, acids, petrochemicals and solvents, which being really flame retardant. The foam used in this tape is highly conformable while having a low set of compression. This thing allows the foam to return to its original condition even after several hours of compression.
The best things about PVC Nitrile Foam tape are:
It absorbs and cushions the shock
It offers great resistance to abrasion and wear
It resists aging, UV, fungi and other chemicals
It is laminated with acrylic long-life adhesive
It is highly temperature resistant
This tape is dimensionally stable and therefore this never oozes.
1. Silicone sealants: This is another type of sealant that offers both performance and flexibility needed by different types of vertical markets like construction, electronics manufacturing, medical devices, and machinery. But the silicone sealants should be applied properly in the packaging to avoid air entrapment and contamination. Starting from field applications to assembly lines, these sealants can meet each type of application requirement while maintaining the integrity of silicones. Depending on the requirements, these sealants are available in one-part and two-part cartridges, foil barriers, squeeze tubes, syringes, injection kits, and seal bags.
2. Apart from that, the void fill paper technique is also used as a part of industrial sealant in the shipping packages to protect the packaged items during transit as well as to create a great factor in the presentation for the recipients. Therefore, these days, this technique is being used widely in mailers. Usually, this technique is mostly used for items that are heavy, fragile, and which are subject to damage.
Depending on the requirements and preferences, there are a number of void fill options available. Each of these types is unique in aesthetics, functionality, cost, and sustainability.
