Waste Removal Tape

Waste removal tape (also known as scrap removal tape) is a functional tape with stable adhesion used to remove scraps and waste film generated during die-cutting processing from products or molds, improving automation efficiency.

  • Peel Strength:
    • 0.05 – 0.1N low adhesive
    • 0.25 – 0.3N medium adhesive
    • 0.5 – 0.7N high adhesive
    • Custom adhesive
  • Color: Transparent or custom

Our waste removal tape has the following key features:

  • Controllable Adhesion: Wide adhesion range (0.05–0.7 N), secures scrap material firmly without adhering to the product to be retained
  • High Peel Stability: Does not tear during peeling, leaves no residue and does not form strings.
  • Excellent Ductility: Conforms to complex contours, ideal for removing small and irregularly shaped scrap.
  • Compatible with Automated Equipment: Suitable for high-speed die-cutting and scrap removal, enhancing production line efficiency.

Our waste-removal tapes are widely used in the following industries:

1. Die Cutting Industry

Die cutting is one of the most common applications for waste-removal tapes, playing a key role particularly in the processing of precision materials.

Typical application materials:

  • Double-sided adhesive tape (Acrylic / Rubber Adhesive).
  • Surface protection film (PE / PET).
  • Foam materials (EVA, IXPE, PU Foam).
  • Optical film materials (PET, OCA, release film, etc.).
  • Automotive interior composite materials (leather, fabric, sound-deadening foam, etc.).

Application Functions:

  • During die-cutting, the waste removal tape simultaneously adheres to and removes edge material and hole waste.
  • Prevents waste material from remaining on the die or product surface.
  • Suitable for continuous roll-to-roll (R2R) automated production.

2. Label & Printing Industry

In label die-cutting and post-printing processes, waste removal tape is a critical consumable for achieving high-speed automated matrix removal.

Typical Applications:

  • Die-cutting and matrix removal for self-adhesive labels.
  • Stripping of trim from logos, stickers, and nameplates.
  • Removal of “cut-out waste” from complex-shaped labels.

Key Functions:

  • Rapid removal of excess matrix material around labels.
  • Prevention of small waste pieces from sticking or falling back.
  • Improved visual consistency of post-die-cutting products.

3. Automotive Industry

The automotive industry demands extremely high precision, cleanliness, and consistency in material processing, making waste removal tape indispensable in related die-cutting processes.

Typical Applications:

  • Die-cutting and waste removal for foam tape (sealing, cushioning, and vibration-damping materials).
  • Processing of gaskets and functional structural components.
  • Die-cutting of NVH materials (noise, vibration, and harshness reduction materials).

Application Benefits:

  • Ensures complete removal of scrap material from complex structural components.
  • Prevents residue from affecting subsequent assembly or bonding performance.
  • Suitable for automated high-volume production environments.

4. Packaging Industry

In high-end packaging and complex structural packaging processing, waste removal tape can significantly improve processing efficiency and finished product quality.

Typical Applications:

  • Waste removal for complex-structured paper boxes (irregular window cutouts, perforated designs).
  • Die-cutting of foam cushioning packaging materials.
  • Composite packaging materials (paper + film, paper + foam, etc.).

Application Advantages:

  • Efficient removal of waste with complex contours.
  • Avoids product deformation or contamination caused by manual peeling.
  • Improves packaging appearance precision and consistency.
