What’s the Purpose of Social Distancing Tape?
Social distancing tape provides a clear and obvious boundary for social distancing, so that customers can safely stand far enough apart without unnecessary confusion. The bold colors and patterns of social distancing tape catch the customer’s eye, making them more aware of distancing guidelines. Specifically, social distancing tape is useful for marking 6 ft. distances between customers, so they can more easily determine the safest distance to prevent the spread of COVID-19.

Social Distancing Floor Decal Applications
Supermarkets, gas stations, parks, convenience stores, banks, schools and even outdoor parking areas all offer enhanced risk of COVID-19 transmission. Social distancing tape can be used to mark floors, walls, equipment, and any other visible surface to help customers and workers maintain a safe 6 ft. distance. It is useful for providing highly visible markings for customers to follow, and can provide a bold point of reference for signs and labels with additional instructions and reminders.
As the COVID-19 crisis deepened, even businesses without customer traffic have become increasingly aware of social distancing requirements. Warehouses, distribution centers, manufacturing facilities, and laboratories are exercising these specifications, using tape, signs, and labels as reminders for employees who are used to working in much closer conditions. High performance tapes from NADCO provide a visible and reliable means of keeping busy employees at a safe distance.

Social Distancing Decals & Tapes
Pressure sensitive tapes are designed to easily and safely serve a variety of needs, from sealing and packaging applications, to safety and directional indicator tapes. NADCO® Tapes & Labels, Inc. features pressure sensitive tapes in materials including paper, cloth, foils, foam, and more, all with full pressure sensitive adhesive backing for ease of application. Examples of our wide offering of products include:
- Masking tapes
- Carton sealing tapes
- Reflective tapes
- Anti-slip tapes
- Nuclear tapes
- Autoclave tapes
Our pressure sensitive tapes are suitable for applications from light-duty sealing and adhesion, up to harsh industrial environments.
Pressure sensitive adhesive (PSA) tapes consist of an adhesive applied on one or both sides of a long strip of flexible material that is typically wound up into a roll. Double-coated PSA tapes have adhesives on both sides of the tape.
The distinguishing characteristics of PSA tapes include:
- Require only pressure for the adhesives to take effect; heat or solvents are not necessary to activate the adhesive.
- Rubber, acrylic, and silicone are common adhesives. These adhesives do not go through a phase change from solid to liquid when pressure is applied.Both natural and synthAdhesionetic rubbers are used depending upon the application. Synthetic rubber adhesives are more customizable than natural rubber adhesives.Acrylic adhesives retain their properties better and longer than rubber adhesives. There are two types of acrylic adhesives: emulsion acrylic adhesives and solvent acrylic adhesives. Emulsion acrylic adhesives are water-based, so they are better for the environment than solvent acrylic adhesives. However, solvent acrylic adhesive is preferred for applications that require resistance to moisture.Silicone adhesives are suitable for high-temperature applications. They are more expensive than other adhesives but preferred for siliconized surfaces.
- They stick to a wide range of materials like paper, plastic, wood, and even metal
- They can be used on flat or curved surfaces.
The most common materials used for creating pressure sensitive tapes are foil, Mylar, vinyl, and paper.
- Foil is a suitable substrate for sealing, seaming, and masking tapes.
- Mylar endures wide temperature fluctuations and bonds well with a variety of surfaces.
- Vinyl is resistant to harsh environmental factors like heat, corrosive chemicals and bacteria.
- Paper tapes are typical for common commercial and household applications.
The significant properties of adhesives used in PSA tapes include:
- Adhesion causes dissimilar surfaces to stick to each other. The stronger the adhesion, the stronger the bond.
- Cohesion causes similar particles to stay attached to each other. Higher cohesion improves the ability to resist dissipation.
- Tack is the initial stickiness of the PSA tape before the pressure is applied to fully activate the adhesive. Stronger tack improves initial surface adhesion.
Pressure sensitive tapes are the most convenient way to prevent dangerous peeling, loosening, and excess glue in all sealing and adhesive applications. They are also ideal for industrial and commercial settings where a tight seal and ease of removal are equally important. Our high-quality pressure sensitive tapes are truly versatile across a wide range of industries and applications.
These offer enhanced risk of COVID-19 transmission. Social distancing tape can be used to mark floors, walls, equipment, and any other visible surface to help customers and workers maintain a safe 6 ft. distance.
