Specifications & Intended Use

Tamper Evident Security Tape

Intended Use:



Tape is applied to a clean, dry surface.

It is designed to seal opposing flaps of a corrugated carton. Tape can also be applied to any non-porous surface. But it can also be use to seal other containers such as crates, bags, metal boxes, etc.

When the tape is removed, the ink and adhesive separates from the film and sticks to the carton. The pattern of words "OPENED" and/or "VOID" will appear on this residue. The hidden message may vary in font, size, text, and orientation.

If the activated tape is reapplied, the hidden pattern of "OPENED VOID" words will appear through the film.

Tape is self wound (no paper backing) on 3 inch ID cores.

This is a single use item. Not recommended for any application where the adhesive may be ingested by humans or animals.

We recommend a minimum 1 hour curing time after application. On some surfaces the tamper evident feature will work immediately. Other surfaces require more curing time. As a general rule, more curing time improves the performance of the tamper evident feature.

The various tape formulations we offer perform differently depending on the material surface and application conditions. We offer free samples. We recommend tapes are tested under actual end-use conditions to confirm compatitibity with your specific application.

Shipping: Minimize exposure to temperatures over 100F (37C) during shipment or storage. Temperatures over 100F can damage the tape and shorten the shelf life. NovaVision does not accept any responsibility for tape exposed to temperatures over 100F. Security tape shipped to desert or tropical climates includes temperature sensors to confirm the maximum temperature during shipping and storage.

Recommended Application:

 

Apply to clean, dry surface.
Minimum Application Temperature is +40F
Allow 1 hour curing time after application (longer cure time improves performance)
After tape is applied, the Service Temperature range is -40F to +160F
Test under end-use conditions to determine compatibility with your specific application
Product Claims: Claims for defective product must be made within 1 week of delivery. If tape is returned for any reason, there is a 15% restocking fee on the tape; the customer is responsible for shipping both ways. Returned tape with temperature sensors must not have any reading of 100F or higher.
Storage:
Recommended Storage Temperature is 40 to 80 degrees F
Maximum Temperature: 100F
Minimum shelf life is 2 years
