A special type of adhesive tape that applies a special adhesive(pressure sensitizer) to a banded substrate. Its function is to make the adhesive tape sensitive to pressure. The main materials used as substrates include fabrics, plastic films, and paper. The underlay is to increase the bond strength of the pressure sensitive adhesive and the substrate. When used, gently pressurize the tape to bond to the surface of the adhesive. In the growing medical equipment and consumables industry, the application of pressure sensitive tape has reached the point where everywhere. Pressure sensitive tape is often the main and even critical component of products used in surgery, wound and incontinence care, monitoring, and diagnosis. The performance and performance of the final product are closely related to the performance and performance of pressure sensitive tape. Therefore, in the design of medical products, how to select suitable and excellent pressure sensitive tape has become an important topic that deserves the attention of R&D personnel.

The so-called pressure sensitive adhesive refers to a type of adhesive that is sensitive to pressure. Through the hand or finger, a certain amount of pressure is applied to the adhesion surface, which can form a adhesion. The pressure sensitive tape is the adhesive coated on the ribbon material(such as thin film, non-woven cloth and foam cotton, etc.), and has a pressure sensitive adhesive tape after drying. In general, pressure sensitive tape consists of substrate, adhesive layer, off-type paper, unwinding agent and other parts. Compared with other adhesive methods, pressure sensitive tape has the following series of advantages.

First, the use of pressure sensitive tape without heating, solvent modulation, mechanical reinforcement and other cumbersome process, convenient and fast.

Second, the pressure sensitive tape is easy to preserve, and the adhesive layer will not dry for a longer period of time, so it is also called dry adhesive.

In addition, in most cases, it can be stripped from the sticky surface without causing damage, and it is also an important advantage of pressure sensitive tape. It is because of these unique advantages that pressure sensitive tape is increasingly widely used in medical products, especially disposable medical products.

Medical products are one of the higher risk product categories. Since there is a higher chance of contact with the human body during use, it is necessary to eliminate the possibility of damage to the human body as much as possible and to increase the comfort of the patient's use. Therefore, for the use of pressure sensitive tape on medical products, there are some special requirements that need to be considered and implemented in the development of pressure sensitive tape.
