The waterproof property in double-sided tapes depends on two factors
- A waterproof property of the carrier substrate
- Strength of the bond with the surface
PET is a waterproof material, while foam and tissue are not waterproof. Therefore, PET-based double-sided tapes resist water penetration; which, in compared to foam or tissue-based tapes.
The strength of the bond is also an important variable that affects the resistance of a double-sided tape against water. A high concentration of carbon nanotubes in KLAPiT SUPER TAPE enhances its strength and improves its resistance to water penetration, making it completely waterproof.
