PP FILM FOR SINGLE-SIDED TAPES
PP film backing for self-adhesive film tapes
For self-adhesive tapes with PP film backing, the film and the adhesive must be assessed separately. Choose according to the task on your component, the surface to be bonded and the required supplied format; Krückemeyer GmbH can help with selection and converting.
01
Selection criteria
What must the PP film tape do?
Start with the task: should the tape seal a package, protect a label or hold a part during transport and processing? The film is the backing; adhesion depends on the adhesive used in the specific product. Assess the substrate, stresses, application method and required removal behaviour separately before choosing a tape.

CHOOSING PP FILM TAPE
Assess backing, adhesive and processing separately
Here, PP film means the film backing of a self-adhesive tape. It does not automatically define the adhesive or establish a general material approval. The range includes, for example, transparent PP label protection with an acrylic adhesive and PP packaging tape with an acrylic adhesive; other products use oriented PP backing and a different adhesive. Properties such as tensile behaviour, adhesion or removability apply only to the documented product under its stated conditions of use.
For application-specific converting, we clarify the input material, required width, shape and supplied format with you. Cutting and die-cut parts are options depending on the material and geometry. Tell us about the surface, service conditions and application step so that the product and its finished format can be assessed together.

QUESTIONS ABOUT PP FILM TAPES
What does the PP film page listing show?
It shows single-sided tapes assigned to the existing PP adhesive tape category. PP film is the backing within a tape construction; the listing is not a catalogue of uncoated PP raw film. Transparent RK 210 PP label protection and RK 204 PP packaging tape are examples of PP film with acrylic adhesive. For a specific application, refer to the individual item's backing, adhesive and supplied format.
How do PP film backing and adhesive differ?
PP film forms the backing layer, while the adhesive determines how the tape bonds to a substrate. RK 210 PP label protection specifies PP film as the backing and acrylic as the adhesive. By contrast, tesa 50020 Basic uses an MOPP backing with a natural rubber adhesive. A property of the backing does not establish the same property for the adhesive or the finished bond. Compare the product construction and test adhesion on the intended substrate.
Which uses are documented for the PP film tapes in the range?
Documented uses depend on the individual tape. RK 210 PP label protection is described as a transparent tape that protects labels on packaging. RK 204 PP packaging tape lownoise is documented for sealing cartons. Even within PP film tapes, label protection and package sealing are different tasks. Whether another tape suits your surface, loading and processing follows from its own product data and testing on your component.
What information helps with a PP film and converting enquiry?
Describe the tape's task, the substrate to be bonded, the conditions during use and processing, and any required later removal. For cutting or die-cut parts, include the width, shape, supplied format and your application step. Krückemeyer GmbH can convert suitable input material; feasibility and the function of the finished part must be assessed against the material, geometry and application.
