After being bathed in a variety of materials for two hours, Brother laminated tapes still managed to remain affixed to their surfaces with little damage. Even chemical spills, if wiped up quickly, result in minimal damage.
After testing by an official Japanese government food research laboratory, Brother tapes met the food sanitation law of Japan and were deemed to be safe for use near food. Brother laminated tapes also passed skin irritation tests.
Brother’s P-touch tapes retain their integrity even at extremely high temperatures. When tested, tapes began to decompose only once the temperature reached 365°C. In adhesion tests conducted at cold temperatures, the tapes did not experience any adhesive strength problems or changes to the ink or tape, even at -50°C.
In tests performed to simulate a year of outdoor conditions, ink remained unchanged and all characters were completely legible. Brother laminated tapes were attached to coated metal plates and placed in a fade-inducing chamber at 83°C for 100 hours to simulate a year in a sunny environment. Then they were placed in a chamber at 63°C for 400 hours to simulate a year in heat and light, as well as water. Only yellow tapes showed significant signs of fading, while other tapes showed little sign of fading that was visible to the eye. This fade resistance reduces the need to reproduce labels regularly and is convenient for environments where legibility over time is important.
In tests performed by Brother, white P-Touch tapes with black characters began to lose their electric resistance at an applied voltage of 8kv, and lost their resistance entirely at 11kv. Most other colour variations will have the same resistance.

Laminated Industrial Tape Adhesive Strength
Brother’s industrial tapes have twice the adhesive strength of our regular tapes, allowing them to be used on a much wider range of materials and under more extreme conditions.
-
Laminated Tape Adhesive Strength
Brother laminated tapes will adhere to almost any surface, including stainless steel, glass, PVC, acrylic, polypropylene and polyester-coated wood. The tapes stand up to hot, cold and humid conditions, and even adhere better when heated. Smooth, rough, flat or rounded surfaces pose no problem for Brother laminated tapes.
Superior Tapes

Resistant to water, smudges, stains, streaks, marks, rips, fading and peeling, Brother labels are incredibly versatile and will stand up to the toughest treatment. And since they adhere to almost any surface, they can be used practically everywhere – even around the garden!
Type Of Tapes
* Resistant to water, sunlight, chemicals, heat and cold
* Sticks to virtually any surface
* Durable and won’t fade or tear
* Can be used both indoors (e.g. on microwaves and freezers) and outdoors
* Does not leave a sticky residue when removed
-
Non-laminated tape (M tape)
* Perfect for general tape (Tamper Evident tape) (laminated)
* Has a special adhesive that leaves behind a checkerboard pattern on the surface if the label is removed
* Ideal for use on company equipment (Flexible Identification tape) (laminated)
* Made with special materials designed for labelling around sharp bends and on cylindrical surfaces
* Label will not lift up at the edges, ensuring complete adhesion
* Ideal for flagging cables
-
Strong Adhesive tape (laminated)
* Has twice the adhesive strength compared to regular P-Touch tape
* Can be used on a wide range of industrial materials
* Ideal for harsh environments and textured surfaces
* Cleans print heads after heavy usage for continuous optimum performance
* Good for up to 100 cleanings
