Why is water-activated paper tape widely used in the European and North American markets?

Wet water buffalo tape (WAT) is a type of tape widely used in Europe and North America, characterized by the need to wet the adhesive surface before use. Unlike ordinary tape, wet water buffalo tape is more environmentally friendly, has stronger adhesion and longer durability, and can adapt to various different environments and needs. This article will detail the characteristics, advantages, and application scenarios of wet water buffalo tape, as well as why it is widely used in Europe and North America.

 

I. Characteristics and Advantages of Wet Water Buffalo Tape

 

Environmental friendliness

Wet water buffalo tape is made of natural materials and does not contain any toxic substances. It can also be recycled, making it environmentally friendly. In comparison, many ordinary tapes are made of synthetic materials that release harmful chemicals during use and are difficult to degrade, causing environmental pollution.

 

Stronger adhesion

Wet water buffalo tape can produce stronger adhesion after wetting, effectively securing packaged items and preventing rupture or dropping. In contrast, ordinary tape is prone to problems such as peeling or losing adhesion during use, which can cause loose packaging or damage.

 

Longer durability

Wet water buffalo tape can form a tight bond during packaging, effectively preventing breakage or dropping of packaged items during transportation or friction. In comparison, ordinary tape is prone to looseness, with the adhesive surface gradually losing adhesion, leading to damage or dropping of packaged items.

 

Stronger adaptability

Wet water buffalo tape can adapt to various different packaging materials, including paper, plastic, wood, etc., and can adapt to various different packaging shapes and sizes. In contrast, ordinary tape is more limited in use and can only adapt to specific packaging materials and shapes, unable to meet various different packaging needs.

 

Applications of Wet Kraft Paper Tape

 

Express packaging

Wet Kraft paper tape is widely used in express packaging due to its eco-friendliness, strong adhesion, and long-lasting durability. It effectively prevents packages from being damaged or falling apart during transportation. In contrast, regular tape is less effective in express packaging and may experience problems such as cracking or peeling, which cannot ensure the integrity and safety of the package.

 

Food packaging

Wet Kraft paper tape is also widely used in food packaging due to its eco-friendliness, safety, and reliability. It ensures the quality and hygiene of the food. In contrast, regular tape may release harmful chemicals, which can have an impact on the quality and hygiene of the food.

 

Electronic product packaging

Wet Kraft paper tape can also demonstrate its unique advantages in electronic product packaging. Its strong adhesion and long-lasting durability ensure that electronic products will not be damaged or lost during transportation, effectively protecting their safety and integrity. In contrast, regular tape may not achieve this effect and cannot ensure the safety and integrity of electronic products.

 

Medical supply packaging

Wet Kraft paper tape is also widely used in medical supply packaging due to its eco-friendliness, safety, and reliability. It ensures the quality and hygiene of medical supplies. In contrast, regular tape may release harmful chemicals, which can have an impact on the quality and hygiene of medical supplies.

 

III. Why Wet Kraft Paper Tape is Widely Used in Europe and North America

 

Cultural background

In Europe and North America, environmental awareness is relatively widespread, and people have a high awareness of environmental protection and sustainable development. Therefore, they tend to choose eco-friendly products, and wet Kraft paper tape is a product that meets this demand.

 

Market demand

Europe and North America are developed economies, and people's consumption levels are relatively high. They have high requirements for the quality and safety of goods. Wet Kraft paper tape can meet this demand and has therefore gained widespread market recognition.
