Purpose of Tapes

What are taps? What are tapes made of? Main types of adhesive layer
Tapes are special patches that are made of cotton or rayon. On the other hand, there is a special adhesive base, thanks to which the product can be perfectly fixed on the surface of the skin. Due to the special material from which patches are created, they do not interfere with normal air exchange when they are on the body. How much will be worn tape, affects the presence and thickness of the adhesive base.

By itself, the patch for taping is considered disposable, so you should not try it again. Even if it works, there will be no benefit from such a procedure. The range of stores presents different types of patches, which can have different colors, thickness and length, as well as the type of material.



What are tapes made of?

In the production of taps, cotton is most often used. In order for the products to be very elastic add nylon or synthetic fiber. The created product does not pass air, and can not cause allergic reactions on the body. Most often it is accepted to put patches during cosmetic procedures, during rehabilitation or during non-intensive training.

Nylon types of taps are usually used during intensive training, and all because such patches can perfectly stretch both in length and width. You can use these tapes even during joint pain and after injuries.

Viscose is also advantageous in the production of adhesive tapes. This material does not get wet, fits well to the skin, and at the same time passes air well. These taps can be used on the chest, neck or face. These products can also be used for children.

Paying attention to the adhesive layer, you can see that it is made of acrylic glue, which is safe for people. There are three main types:

  • universal – it is accepted to use 4 days;
  • Strengthened - can stay on the body for up to 10 days;
  • sparing - a specially designed version of the tap, which is suitable for children and pregnant women (you can wear such tapes for 3 days).

This is usually the recommended time period for wearing taps. Depending on the place of application, the number of days of use may vary.

If you pay attention to the color of the patches, you can see that they can be of different shades. For example, blue ribbons have a more calming effect, red – warming, green – regenerating, and yellow – restoring.
