Pipeline Identification
Features: Based on a 2-ply laminated tape structure. The printing is on a PVC tape which is laminated over with a very clear PP tape for protection and durability. The printing will either be in basic identification colours or with symbols. The use is for application to pipe lines in order to indicate what these pipes contain and the direction of the flow of the content. Rolls are supplied in 33m length and are available in varying widths.
Anti Hot-Spot Foam
Features: Based on a low density white foam tape coated with a long aging acrylic adhesive. The foam tape surface has a fixed polyester liner applied. Excellent UV resistance is offered and the tape has a life expectancy of about 20 years. The application is in the horticultural industry to prolong the life of plastic film or net covers which are applied over the frames in temporary greenhouses. The tape is applied to aluminium frames prior to the covering with plastic sheets or netting. The tape acts as an insulation layer reducing heat transmission and preventing the build-up of hot spots. The polyester liner on the tape surface prevents friction and abrasion of the plastic covers. The tape is usually supplied in 9 or l0mm widths

PRINTABLE PP TAPES

Printer Friendly

PRINTABLE PP TAPES

The best method of printing on PP tapes is by selecting appropriate tapes which have been specially surface treated (Corona treatment). Additionally it requires:

  • Special Printing Inks.
  • Printing Cylinders, which can be heated up to 50 ° C.
  • An extended Drying Tunnel with good ventilation.
  • Printing the tape within 6 months of receipt.


PR International offer the following PP Tapes for printing:

PP Printable Standard
PP Printable Silent Quality
PP Printable Hot Melt

 

Conditions of the printing machine:

  • The best results are obtained when the printing cylinder is heated up:
    50 ° C for PP Standard
    40 ° C for PP Printable Silent Quality
    30 ° C for PP Printable Hot Melt
  • The drying tunnel should have good ventilation and the air temperature has to be between 50 and 60 C, except for the printing of PP Printable Hot Melt where the drying tunnel should not be heated.
  • Ideally the printing should be carried out on printing machines designed for PP Tape printing. For PP Printable Hot Melt it is possible to use a PVC printing machine, provided the printing cylinder can be heated to 30 ° C and has an extended drying tunnel with ventilation and blowing capacity.


Printing Inks:
To-day inks are available which are ready for use, e.g. the PU inks of Supercolor, which are very generally used. If no special inks are available, it is possible to use polyamide inks mixed with isopropylc alcohol and heptane.

Stereos:
Recommend is red Semperit or photopolymer. For PP Printable Hot Melt rubber stereos as used for PVC printing can also be used.

Working procedure:
The print rolls PP Printable Silent Quality should be stored at a temperature of 20 °C to 30 °C. before using them since this makes the unwinding lighter and enables a higher speed on the printing machine.

Where required heat up the printing cylinders. Install the ventilation system and make sure that the air in the drying tunnel has the right temperature. For PP Printable Hot Melt the drying tunnel must not be heated and ventilation has to be at maximum blowing capacity.

Though it is not imperative it is recommend that the tape is cleaned by mounting on the machine a piece of felt which rubs off possible dirty spots.

Adjust the friction of the winding system in order to avoid that the cores will be crushed.

The speed of the machine stays in close connection with the capacity of the ventilation and the drying tunnel.

In case the tape is insufficiently dried a problem with off-setting of the ink may arise. This can be noticed immediately.

The recommended speed of the machine is 80 to 100m. per minute.

In case there is a problem like ink transfer, too high unwinding resistance or tape splitting, this indicates that the drying is insufficient. In this case it is recommend that the speed of the machine be reduced or the performance of the drying tunnel will have to be improved.

To check the print quality, a method generally used is to place a roll in a refrigerator for 15 minutes. By means of a fast unwinding any problem will be noticed. In case there is a problem like ink transfer, too high unwinding resistance or tape splitting, this indicates that the drying is insufficient. In this case it is recommend that the speed of the machine be reduced or the performance of the drying tunnel will have to be improved. The problem may also be resolved by adding to the ink a solvent of isopropylic alcohol and heptane.

 

General Remarks:

During cold periods the inks should be stored at a temperature of 18 ° C to 20 ° C. In case the inks have become solid this can be resolved by immersing the container in a vessel with luke warm water.Before using the ink it has to be stirred thoroughly in order to obtain a perfect mix. Make sure that the containers of ink are well closed in order to avoid evaporation.

At the end of the day the ink which remains in the containers of the machine should be placed back in the original container.During a stop of the production the heating system of the printing cylinder should be disconnected since a too high temperature will create problems with the proper winding of the tape.

Floodcoat printing has to be avoided.

Each tape application can be worn for 2-3 days, 24 hours a day. It is hypoallergenic, made from 100% cotton and remains flexible. It is also water-resistant, so you can shower, bathe and swim whilst wearing it. You can also continue with your activities or training, as Sports Injury Pre-cut allows for full range of motion, supporting the muscle yet not restricting movement. The tape supplied is in the colour Silver.
  • Pre Cut – Back Application

    Sports / Injury Tape Pre-cut Back Application can be used to relieve back pain and spasms and is designed to support over stretched back muscles, Repetitive Strain Injury, lower back pain, lumbago and sciatica.
    The application is designed for bodies with pain and stiffness in the lower back.

  • Pre Cut – Neck Application

    Sports / Injury Tape is designed for neck pain caused by muscle strain or ligament sprain. It can also help to provide relief from Whiplash, Trapped Nerve, tension headaches caused by tight neck muscles.
    Neck pain is a common condition, with two thirds experiencing it at some point in their life. Neck pain often arises from problems in the spine, muscle tightness in the back or joint disruption in the neck. Aside from injury or trauma to the neck, stress is a chief cause, as is prolongued periods of sitting at a computer leading to poor posture.

  • Pre Cut – Shoulder Application

    Sports / Injury Tape is designed to relieve shoulder pain and stiffness, and provide support for overused or weak shoulder muscles, Bursitis, frozen shoulder and rotator cuff injuries.

  • Pre Cut – Knee Application

    Sports / Injury Tape is an effective treatment for runner’s knee, providing knee and patella support, and alleviating associated pain and swelling from Meniscus (Cartilage) Tears and Swollen or Torn Ligaments.
    Knee pain is a common problem affecting approximately a third of adults in the UK at any one time. It can particularly affect athletes whose knees take a lot of pressure, such as runners and tennis players. The knee is a vulnerable joint; it takes a substantial amount of the body’s weight therefore suffering a lot of impact, placing stress upon the joint. Kinesio Pre-cut Knee provides that extra bit of support that your knee may need.

  • Pre Cut – Wrist Application

    Sports / Injury Tape can be used to relieve pain and swelling for conditions such as carpal tunnel syndrome, Wrist Tendonitis, De Quervain’s Syndrome, and provide support for overused,weak and inflammed wrist muscles. Hand and wrist pain is becoming particularly common as the amount of time people spend on computers is increasing. Most wrist conditions can be attributed to repetitive movements of the hands, such as typing. Sports / Injury Tape Pre-cut Wrist is ideal for providing your wrist muscles with that extra bit of support your wrists sometimes require.
