Adhesive Cellulose Tape

Description

Is susceptible to heating. Rolls of tape so damaged may lose their entire adhesive properties. The adhesive substance on the sealing surfaces will be found to have dried out completely. On unwinding, the layer of dried-up gum comes off in the form of a dry flimsy film, and the resultant bare tape, in all probability, will be covered with opaque patches and blotches, and will commence to curl. The individual dispensers may be ‘bone dry’ and unblemished.

Provided goods have not been shipped from old stock, such damage may have arisen from contact with heat due to bad stowage and/or improper ventilation during the voyage.
