Global Silicone Rubber Adhesive Tape Market Definition
Silicone rubber adhesive tape is a tape manufactured by applying a silicone rubber layer to one side of polyester film (PET) and coating the opposite side with an acrylic adhesive. Silicone tapes are produced from cured silicone rubber and a thin layer of silicone gel. This layer makes these tapes self-fusing, thus making a lasting bond with the substrate. These tapes are also called silicone gel tapes and self-amalgamating tapes. The silicone gel in silicone tapes contains a small amount of polydimethylsiloxane, which has zinc oxide as a constituent.
Zinc oxide acts as an ultraviolet radiation inhibitor. Rubber plays a very vital role as Rubber adhesive tapes are typically used for indoor applications with low-stress requirements. They generally adhere to low surface energy substrates and can be used for fine removability. Rubber adhesives are majorly seen on carton sealing tapes, masking tapes, duct tapes, and -lament tapes. Silicone rubber adhesive tape finds extensive applications in packaging, building & construction, electrical & electronics, automotive, health & hygiene, and others.
Global Silicone Rubber Adhesive Tape Market Overview
One of the major drivers of the silicone rubber adhesive tapes market is the expansion of the automotive industry. In this industry, tapes having silicon adhesive properties are mainly used in the form of double-sided tapes and protection tapes. Automotive manufacturers are moving from mechanical fasteners to automotive tapes with adhesive properties to reduce the weight of vehicles. Mechanical fasteners, such as bolts and screws, increase the weight of the vehicles, these products are increasingly substituted by lightweight adhesive solutions. Thus, an increase in the adoption of silicone rubber adhesive tapes in the automobile industry is expected to boost the silicone rubber adhesive tapes market. Moreover, the demand for silicone rubber adhesive tapes is witnessing growth in the healthcare sector due to penetration of the products in this sector in developing countries, along with growth in disposable income.
Furthermore, these tapes are gaining momentum in the global electronics industry. They are predominantly used to give insulation in an electric system and as an overwrap for shielding high-voltage cables from tracking. Additionally, these tapes have excellent weathering characteristics and they offer resistance to ozone and arcs. These have positively anticipated in propelling the growth of the global silicone rubber adhesive tapes market. There are certain limitations and obstacles faced that will hinder the overall market growth. The factors such as volatile prices of raw materials leading to the fluctuation in demand and implementation of stringent regulatory policies are limiting the market growth. Natural rubber, which is a petroleum-based derivative, is one of the basic raw materials in the manufacture of rubber adhesive tapes.
Thus, it is vulnerable to fluctuations in commodity prices. Nevertheless, the advancements in technologies, growing packaging industry in emerging economies offer favorable growth opportunities.
