Adhesive tapes direct from the manufacturer

Yes. In addition to finished rolls, Müroll also offers jumbo and log rolls for industrial converters and processors. Depending on the product, different backing materials, adhesive systems and dimensions are available. The available specifications are agreed on an individual basis.

Yes. When selecting a suitable adhesive tape, tests under real conditions are useful, especially for demanding carton surfaces or packaging processes. Müroll provides B2B customers with product samples for application tests.

Yes. As a manufacturer, Müroll can adapt adhesive tapes to customer requirements in terms of various parameters. Depending on the product, these include, for example, dimensions, colours, printing, backing material and adhesive system. Technical feasibility and minimum quantities are checked for each application.

Adhesion describes how strongly an adhesive tape sticks to a defined surface. In technical data sheets, it is often stated as adhesion to steel in N/cm. This laboratory value allows products to be compared, but does not reflect every real packaging surface. For demanding applications, an additional test on the carton actually used is therefore advisable.

Shear strength describes the resistance of an adhesive bond to forces acting parallel to the bonded surface. High shear strength is important, for example, when carton flaps are under constant tension or when heavy packages need to stay securely closed.

Adhesion and shear strength describe different properties of an adhesive bond. Adhesion describes how well the adhesive tape sticks to a surface, while shear strength describes its resistance to loads acting parallel to the bonded surface. Both properties can be relevant for reliable carton sealing.

Natural rubber, hot melt and acrylic adhesives have different properties. Natural rubber offers very good initial tack and is suitable for numerous demanding packaging applications. Hot melt is characterised by high initial tack and cost-effective processing. Acrylic offers, among other things, good ageing and UV resistance. Which system is best depends on the application, surface, temperature and storage period.

At its production site in Frastanz, Müroll has the three key coating technologies: natural rubber/solvent, synthetic rubber/hot melt and acrylic.

This allows different backing materials and applications to be combined with the most suitable adhesive system in each case.

The right adhesive tape depends on the substrate, package weight, temperature, storage period, transport conditions and type of processing. Requirements regarding sustainability, printing or machine processing can also play a role. Müroll supports B2B customers in their selection and can provide samples for tests under real conditions.
