Know The Adhesive Tapes Applications, Types, Materials and Technology

Adhesive tapes are made of an adhesive film and a backing material. Acrylic, polyurethane, isocyanate, epoxy, silicon, and rubber based adhesives are preapplied on backing materials such as paper, cloth, felt, and foam to form adhesive tapes. Pressure-sensitive tapes, water activated tapes, heat sensitive tapes, and drywall tapes are some of the most commonly used adhesives tapes. Glues and liquid adhesives are messy as they need to be applied by spraying or rolling it on the surface of the substrate. They also may consume significant time as some adhesives require long curing time. However adhesive tapes offer great solutions for quick fixes and improvisation as they are easy to use and do not need curing time.
