Adhesive tape applications in the refrigerator and freezer industry

With the development of the national economy in recent years, more and more household appliances have entered the “ordinary people’s homes”, and refrigerators and freezers have become the standard configuration of almost every family. In the refrigerator and freezer industry, adhesive tapes are used everywhere.
Refrigerator and freezer tape applications
Nameplate and widget fixation; display mounting; Vacuum heat shield fixing; condenser tube bonding; Evaporator fixation; decorative glass fixation; surface protection; transport and fixation of shelves and drawers; safe transportation of doors; plugging holes; Cover gaps and so on.

 

In order to make the installation of nameplates, decorative strips and other small accessories more efficient, neater and more efficient, double-sided tape is routinely used in the industry.
For the choice of adhesive tape, it must be resistant to aging, have high adhesion to all types of metals and plastics, and be easy to die-cut.
(1) The installation of the nameplate no longer has to punch holes in the metal or plastic plate;
(2) Double-sided adhesive tape is the ideal bonding solution when fixing plastic or metal trim parts to the front door, or even for decorative strips that fill gaps in recessed appliances. One of its main advantages is that the tape allows for a neat and clean installation process.
*Application requirements: long-term attachment edge does not warp; Good conformability, suitable for various surfaces; The appearance meets the design requirements.
*Recommended tapes: foam double-sided tape, cotton paper double-sided tape, PET double-sided tape, substrateless double-sided tape, etc.
display screen
When it comes to installing displays, precision and cleanliness are crucial. Double-sided tape for the display before use can make the installation more neat and efficient. These tapes have the advantage of high adhesion to plastics and flexible substrate selection.
*Recommended tapes: Substrateless double-sided tape, PET double-sided tape, etc.
Vacuum heat shield fixation
During the foaming process, it is possible for the PU foam to penetrate into the bond between the vacuum insulation board and the housing. To avoid this, a double-sided adhesive tape must be used to secure the vacuum insulation panel to the housing. The tape used should have high tack, sufficient adhesion, and the release liner should be easy to lift.
*Recommended tapes: non-substrate double-sided tape, foam double-sided tape, etc.
Condenser tube bonding
For optimal performance, the condenser tubes of refrigerators and freezers must be bonded as close as possible to the enclosure of the appliance. The highest temperature conductivity can be achieved with aluminum foil tapes.
*Recommended Tape: Aluminum foil tape
The evaporator is fixed
When polyurethane (PU) foam is injected, the foam may seep into the evaporator and housing. To prevent this phenomenon, the evaporator can be bonded directly to the back of the polystyrene (PS) housing with double-sided tape.
*Application requirements: The tape used should have high adhesive strength to ensure that there is no offset or warping of the evaporator position during foaming; It has sufficient adhesion to metal and polystyrene, and the release liner is easy to tear off and easy to handle.
Initial bond strength and long-term stable adhesion are very important!
*Recommended tapes: non-woven tapes, a variety of double-sided tapes.
Decorative glass fixation
Double-sided tapes allow for quick and easy installation of decorative glass panels, enable intelligent, complex installations, are more aesthetically pleasing than mechanical fixing, and are even more effective than glue solutions in terms of waterproofing effect. The tape is available in a variety of colors and can be used to achieve the best design results with viscoelastic acrylic. At the same time, the tape has good shock and noise absorption, and can strongly bond glass, metal and various plastics and other materials.
*Recommended tapes: baseless double-sided tape, foam double-sided tape, cotton paper double-sided tape, etc.
Surface protection
During assembly, transport or installation, important glass, plastic or painted metal parts may be scratched or soiled. Surface protection tapes can be used temporarily to prevent damage to components during these processes, and the tapes used must be adequately bonded, age-resistant, and left untouched after removal

 

Gap covering
When the foam is injected, the PU foam may be extruded from small gaps or joints. To avoid this, use adhesive tape that binds PU foam to cover all crevices and joints. In small corners or joints, the tape used should have the advantages of high viscosity, good adhesion between the substrate and PU foam, and can be torn by hand.
*Recommended tape: Duct tape, etc.
Breathable tape plugs holes
Use breathable tape to plug all holes in the appliance to prevent the PU foam from being squeezed out when injected at high speed. Breathable tape effectively plugs holes while keeping the air out, ensuring the efficiency and quality of foaming.
*Application requirements: The tape uses a substrate with high gas permeability to avoid foaming layer outgas; Effectively prevent PU from overflowing and polluting the surface of the box; Strong adhesion to ensure that the tape is safely fixed during foaming; At the same time, it can be torn by hand or die-cut.
*Recommended tapes: non-woven tapes, polyurethane tapes, etc.
