Zinc Oxide Adhesive Plaster 2.5cm x 5m

Description

1. Product Overview

The Zinc Oxide Adhesive Plaster (2.5cm x 5m) is a medical-grade, pressure-sensitive adhesive tape designed for secure fixation of wound dressings, tubing, and medical devices in clinical and occupational healthcare settings. Its primary industrial use spans hospitals, first-aid manufacturing, and institutional care facilities, where reliable skin adhesion and conformability are non-negotiable. The key value proposition lies in its balanced tensile strength, hypoallergenic zinc oxide adhesive mass, and clean, residue-free removal—reducing skin trauma and secondary dressing failure. Strategically, it remains a foundational SKU in the global wound care and procedural supply chain, offering predictable performance at scale for enterprise buyers.

2. Key Specifications & Technical Characteristics

• Chemical composition / Material components: Zinc oxide adhesive mass (15–20% zinc oxide by weight) coated on non-woven fabric or crepe paper backing; siliconized release liner.

• Purity level / Grade: Medical-grade, ISO 10993-compliant for biocompatibility; adhesive meets USP/EP skin irritation standards.

• Physical characteristics: Width 2.5cm (±0.1cm), length 5m (±0.2m); white to off-white roll; breathable backing; unwind force ≤3N/25mm; peel adhesion to steel ≥5 N/25mm.

• Packaging options: Individually shrink-wrapped rolls; bulk inner cartons (50 rolls/box); master export cartons (24 boxes/carton).

• Shelf life: 36 months from date of manufacture when stored at 15–25°C, <65% RH, away from direct sunlight.

3. Core Industrial Applications

• Primary industries: Acute care hospitals, outpatient surgical centers, OEM first-aid kit assemblers, industrial safety suppliers, veterinary clinics, and sports medicine facilities.

• Specific operational use cases: Securing gauze over post-operative incisions; anchoring IV lines and catheters; light strapping for finger sprains; fixing sensors in diagnostic monitoring; bundling tubing in ventilator circuits.

• Performance vs. alternatives: Unlike generic polyacrylate tapes, zinc oxide adhesive provides mild astringent properties, reducing maceration risk. Versus cloth athletic tape, this plaster offers cleaner die-cut conversion for automated packing lines and lower linting. The 2.5cm width optimizes material yield for high-volume applications while maintaining hand-tearability without scissors.

• Efficiency / durability advantages: Holds up to 48 hours under dry conditions; removes in one piece without adhesive transfer; reduces dressing change frequency by ~15% versus economy tapes (internal wearer trials).

4. Competitive Advantages

• Quality consistency: Batch-to-batch coefficient of variation (CV) for peel adhesion <5%; each lot validated for residual solvent, bioburden, and aging performance.

• Supply reliability: Dedicated production lines with 98.5% on-time-in-full (OTIF) rate; buffer stock held in regional warehouses (EU, NA, SEA).

• Logistics capability: Available in mixed-pallet configurations with other widths (1.25cm, 5cm, 7.5cm) to consolidate procurement.

• Price competitiveness: Tier-1 quality at Tier-2 pricing via direct-from-manufacturer model; volume-based rebates for annual contracts >10,000 rolls.

• Sustainability: Backing materials offered in FSC-certified or recycled-paper variants upon request; adhesive formulated without animal-derived stearates.

• Technical support: Full Declaration of Conformity (DoC), Certificate of Analysis (CoA) with each shipment, and regulatory documentation (CE MDR, FDA Device Listing) available via supplier portal.

5. Commercial & Supply Information

• Minimum Order Quantity (MOQ): 5,000 rolls (100 master cartons) for standard non-woven backing; 20,000 rolls for custom-printed interleaved liner or crepe backing.

• BULK 20MT Loading capacity (MT per container): One 20FT general purpose container (20MT max payload) holds approximately 420,000 rolls (8,400 master cartons) when palletized, assuming 24 boxes/carton × 50 rolls/box = 1,200 rolls per carton; actual count varies by backing thickness and interleaving.
