PTK® double-sided tissue tape: 7 grades compared

Solvent-based grades, PTK® 700, 800, 900 and 1000, are accurate 70, 80, 90 and 100 micron tapes with a "PTK®" printed liner, used mainly on paper and card: mono cartons, invitation boxes, chrome posters and labels. Premium grades, PTK® 910, 1200 and 1600, are premium adhesive-based, high-performance tapes for wood, metal, glass, plastics and textiles, with good adhesion to LSE materials such as PP, PE and coated paper.

The premium grades. PTK® 910 and PTK® 1200 are suitable for nameplates, membrane switches, high-end dome labels, polycarbonate stickers and chrome labels; PTK® 1600 for metal nameplates, membrane switches, high-end dome labels and chrome labels. For metallic name plates on a solvent-based budget, PTK® 900 and PTK® 1000 are also listed.

All three premium grades: PTK® 910, 1200 and 1600, offer good adhesion to LSE (low surface energy) materials such as PP, PE and coated paper. If a tape has already lifted off a plastic or powder-coated part, read why tape will not stick to PP and PE first. Send us your substrate and we will recommend one.

Prateek®'s catalogue describes PTK® 910, 1200 and 1600 as an excellent alternative to similar high-quality variants of various international brands.
