Frequently Asked Questions
How thick are TZe tapes?
TZe tapes are around 160 micro metres in thickness but this varies slightly by tape type.
Which colour tape is recommended for high temperatures?
We recommend TZe-M931/951/961 (Black on matt silver) as most resistant to high
temperatures in terms of discolouration.
When I remove the label will messy adhesive remain? How can I remove it?
Tapes can be removed from most materials with relative ease leaving little or no adhesive on
the material. Extreme heat, humidity and certain chemicals may result in some residual
adhesive being left but this can be removed in most cases with Ethanol.
What is the shelf life of an unused TZe tape?
The shelf life of an unused TZe tape is 15 months from production.
Do TZe tapes contain chloride?
No chloride materials are used in the cassette case, tape or ink.
Do TZe tapes create any outgasing?
The following gases may be produced when labels are in a hot environment such as in front
of an air conditioner: toluene, n-butanol, 2-ethylhexyl alcohol, butyl carbinol acetate. These
levels are however very low.
Can TZe tapes be submerged in alcohol?
Submersion of TZe tapes in alcohol is not recommended for extended periods due to the
possible deterioration of the tape adhesive.
Is it safe to burn a P-touch label?
Although there may be some halogen in TZe tapes, it is of a very low level making it safe to
burn TZe tapes.
Do TZe tapes contain silicon?
Since the tape liner itself is silicon coated on both sides, there is a chance that small
amounts of silicon may remain on the adhesive layer underneath the label even after the
liner is peeled off.
