3. UV Resistance Prolonged exposure to UV radiation can degrade roofing materials over time. Cap sheets are engineered to withstand UV rays, maintaining their integrity and appearance while prolonging the lifespan of the underlying roofing materials.
The Civil War also accelerated technological advancements within the industry. Manufacturers needed to produce tin plates quickly and efficiently, leading them to adopt new techniques and machinery. For example, the rolling process was refined to produce thinner and more uniform sheets of tin, which could be used for various applications. These innovations not only improved the efficiency of local mills but also laid the groundwork for the future growth of the tin plate industry post-war.
In addition to durability, it is important to consider the adhesive strength of the floor marking tape. Strong adhesive ensures that the tape stays in place and does not peel up or become a tripping hazard. Cheaper tapes may have weaker adhesive, which can lead to safety hazards and increased maintenance costs.
