Anti-slip tape is one of the daily safety protection products, and many people will pay attention to its material problem. Take an example for Kunshan Yuhuan Package Materials Co., Ltd.'s anti-slip tape, it usually using two kinds of substrates: PVC and PEVA.

      The PVC anti-slip tape is flexible and easy to tear by hand. It can be stick on the surface of different objects. The surface which product use PVC will feel a little sticky. The adhesive tape with PVC as the base material inherits some of the characteristics of PVC itself. For example, it is not flammable. Without heating the stabilizer, PVC starts to soften at 80°C and decomposes at 100°C. That is to say, unless the PVC anti-slip tape is thrown directly into a burning stove, or there is something burning next to it, the tape may be ignited. The tape itself is very non-flammable. The disadvantage of this tape is that in the outdoor environment or under direct sunlight, ultraviolet rays and oxygen will cause the photo-oxidation and decomposition of PVC, thereby reducing the flexibility of the tape, and it will turn yellow and brittle over time.

PEVA is a mixture of two materials, PE and EVA, with good flexibility and a little elasticity. Therefore, the anti-slip tape based on PEVA has the characteristics of flexibility, and chemical resistance. PEVA anti-slip tape is environmentally friendly because the substrate product does not contain heavy metals. It's biodegradable and will not harm the environment when thrown away or burned. Moreover, this material is highly transparent and flexible, and has a wide range of applications. Kunshan Yuhuan uses this material to produce transparent bathroom anti-slip tape.

     These two materials have their own advantages and disadvantages. If you want to purchase, you can choose according to your own needs.
