Here are the differences in characteristics between water - activated kraft paper tape and ordinary kraft paper tape:

Viscosity and Bonding Method

Water - activated kraft paper tape: It activates the adhesive layer through water to make it sticky. When in use, one end of the tape is immersed in water or the surface of the tape is wiped with a wet cloth, and the active ingredients in the glue are activated. It can fully contact the surface of the object to be adhered and form a firm bond. This kind of tape has strong viscosity, especially suitable for scenarios with high sealing requirements. It can bear the weight of heavy objects and is not easy to come off during transportation.

Ordinary kraft paper tape: It usually adopts pressure - sensitive adhesive, and the adhesive layer is already sticky during the production process without the need for additional activation steps. Just tear the tape off the reel and stick it directly to the surface of the object. However, its viscosity is relatively weaker than that of water - activated kraft paper tape. For some heavy objects or those that need to be sealed for a long time, it may not be as firm as water - activated kraft paper tape.

Environmental Performance

Water - activated kraft paper tape: The base material is generally natural kraft paper, which is degradable and renewable. Moreover, the glue is mostly water - based, which does not contain harmful solvents and will not release volatile organic compounds during use, being more friendly to the environment and human health.

Ordinary kraft paper tape: Although the base material is also kraft paper, which has a certain degree of environmental protection, the pressure - sensitive adhesive used in some ordinary kraft paper tapes may contain organic solvents, which may have a certain impact on the environment during use and disposal.

Water Resistance
Water - activated kraft paper tape: It has good water - resistance after activation and drying. It can resist the influence of a humid environment or a small amount of water to a certain extent and maintain good bonding strength.

Ordinary kraft paper tape: The water - resistance of some ordinary kraft paper tapes is relatively poor. The viscosity may decrease when they encounter water, and even the tape may come off. Especially in a long - term humid environment, its bonding effect will be greatly affected.

Appearance
Water - activated kraft paper tape: The kraft paper itself has a natural and simple appearance. After being pasted, the water - activated kraft paper tape can be integrated with the packaging, giving a simple and beautiful feeling, which is suitable for products with high requirements for packaging aesthetics.

Ordinary kraft paper tape: It has a similar appearance to the water - activated kraft paper tape. However, due to the existence of the pressure - sensitive adhesive, it may have a certain reflection under certain light conditions, or there may be some uneven visual effects in the places where the adhesive layer is thick, and the overall aesthetics may be slightly inferior.

Operational Convenience
Water - activated kraft paper tape: It needs to be activated by water during use, which increases the operation steps to a certain extent. However, the operation is not complicated. Just prepare water or a wet cloth. However, for some scenarios that require quick pasting, it may not be as convenient as ordinary kraft paper tape.

Ordinary kraft paper tape: It can be pasted directly by tearing it open, which is very convenient to operate and can quickly complete the packaging or pasting task. It is suitable for various occasions that require immediate use.
