Aging resistance

All adhesive tapes age. They are therefore subjected to various aging tests to check the chemical-physical change in their properties. These changes do not necessarily reduce the usability of the adhesive tape. Some adhesives even exhibit higher cohesion values only after aging. Generally, no changes should be measurable within the first six months. One speaks of good aging resistance if no negative effects are measurable even after twelve months. Many adhesive tapes are still fully serviceable after ten years.
