UV tack-reducing film (UV tack-reducing tape) is widely used, with the electronic and electrical field being its largest demand end.

UV tack-reducing film, also known as UV tack-reducing tape and UV tack-reducing tape, refers to a special tape that has strong viscosity under normal conditions and whose viscosity decreases sharply after being irradiated by UV light. UV tack-reducing film has the advantages of good ductility, acid and alkali resistance, and anti-static. It is widely used in packaging and printing, electronic and electrical, automobile manufacturing, medical, optics and other fields.

UV tack-reducing films usually use polyvinyl chloride (PVC), propylene oxide (PO) and polyethylene terephthalate (PET) as base materials, acrylic glue, pressure-sensitive adhesive, etc. as UV glue, and are cured by light. Release film, polyimide film, etc. are used as membrane materials. Propylene oxide is a propylene derivative and is produced by co-oxidation method, chlorohydrin method, and hydrogen peroxide direct oxidation method. With technological upgrading, my country’s propylene oxide import dependence continues to decline, and production maintains a growth trend, reaching nearly 5 million tons in 2022. Against this background, the development speed of my country’s UV tack-reducing film industry is expected to accelerate.

According to the “2023-2028 China UV tack-reducing film (UV tack-reducing tape) industry market in-depth research and development prospect forecast report 》shows that UV tack-reducing films are widely used in packaging and printing, electronic and electrical, automobile manufacturing, medical, optics and other fields. In the field of packaging and printing, UV tack-reducing film has the advantages of high dimensional accuracy and resistance to cracking, and can be used for color printing plastic packaging; in the field of automobile manufacturing, UV tack-reducing film can be used to cover the surface of automobiles, which can effectively improve the scratch resistance and wear resistance of automobiles. properties; in the medical field, UV viscosity-reducing films can be used to protect medical equipment; in the optical field, UV viscosity-reducing films can be used for glass cutting and grooving.

The electronic and electrical field is the largest demand end for UV adhesive-reducing films. In electronic packaging devices, UV tack-reducing films can be used in cutting and grinding processes; in consumer electronics, they can be used to protect mobile phones and tablets. In recent years, with the continuous breakthroughs in high and new technologies, the development speed of my country’s electronic and electrical industry has accelerated, driving the demand for UV anti-tackiness film applications to further grow.

​ ​ ​ Major global manufacturers of UV tack-reducing films include 3M Company of the United States, GUNZE Group of Japan, KIMOTO Co., Ltd. of Japan, SPS-EUROPE Company of Germany, etc. Compared with overseas developed countries, my country’s UV tack-reducing film industry started late, but its development momentum is rapid. The main production companies include Saiwu Technology, Xinlun Technology, Hongqing Electronics, etc. Saiwu Technology focuses on the R&D, production and sales of photovoltaic materials, consumer electronics materials and transportation power materials. It has the mass production capabilities of UV tack-reducing films and has currently reached cooperation with well-known home appliance companies such as Gree.

Industry analysts said that UV tack-reducing film, as a special tape, has broad application prospects in the electronic and electrical field, and will be accompanied by downstream demand in the future. growth, its industry development trend will continue to improve. Benefiting from the accelerated localization process of the raw material market and the improvement of the technological maturity of local enterprises, the output and quality of UV tack-reducing films in my country have continued to improve, and the industry will usher in huge room for development in the future.
