1. ADHESIVE TAPES

2. What are Adhesive Tapes?
 Adhesive tape refers to any one of a variety of combinations of a
backing materials coated with an adhesive.
 Different backing materials and adhesives can be used depending on
the intended use.
 Adhesive tape is a tape that is coated with adhesive either on one side
or both, and used for temporarily or permanently joining two
overlapping materials.

3. History
 Pressure-sensitive adhesive, a key component of some adhesive
tapes, was first developed in 1845 by Dr. Horace Day, a surgeon.
 In 1901, the German Oscar Troplowitz invented an adhesive patch
called Leukoplast for the German company Beiersdorf AG.

4. Types of Adhesive Tapes
1. Pressure-Sensitive Tapes
 PSA tape, self-stick tape or sticky tape consists of a
pressure-sensitive adhesive coated onto a backing
material such as paper, plastic film, cloth, or metal foil.
 It is sticky (tacky) without any heat or solvent for
activation and adheres with light pressure. These tapes
usually require a release agent on their backing or a
release liner to cover the adhesive. Sometimes, the
term "adhesive tape" is used for these tapes.
 Many pressure-sensitive adhesive tapes exhibit
triboluminescence, observable in a dark room, when
peeled off a dispenser roll or other surface.

2. Water Activated Tape
 Gummed paper tape or gummed tape is starch- or
sometimes animal glue-based adhesive on a kraft
paper backing which becomes sticky when
moistened.
 A specific type of gummed tape is called reinforced
gummed tape (RGT). The backing of this reinforced
tape consists of two layers of paper with a cross-
pattern of fiberglass filaments laminated between.
The laminating adhesive had previously been asphalt
but now is more commonly a hot-meltatactic
polypropylene.
Water-activated tape is used for closing and sealing
boxes. Before closing corrugated fiberboard boxes,
the tape is wetted or remoistened, activated by water.
The tape is mostly 3 inches (7.5 cm) wide.

6. Types of Adhesive Tapes
3. Heat Sensitive Tape
Heat activated tape is usually tack-free until it is activated by a heat
source. It is sometimes used in packaging, for example, a tear strip tape
for cigarette packs. Conversely, thermal release tape, such as REVALPHA
by Nitto Denko, loses its tack and fully releases when heated to a certain
temperature. This is particularly useful in the semiconductor industry.
4. Drywall Tape
Drywall tape is paper, cloth, or mesh, sometimes with a gummed or
pressure-sensitive adhesive. It is used to make the joints between sheets
of drywall materials.

7. Uses of Adhesive Tapes
The primary use of adhesive tape is packaging. The materials from
which adhesive tapes are made today are cellophane, acrylic,
fiberglass, silicone, foil, rubber and paper, depending on the strength
required.
Adhesive tapes are available in different sizes and also in a
standardized size to fit tape dispensers. In the construction industry,
tape is widely used since tape covers and reaches areas which glue
neglects.
Adhesive tape is widely used in our homes as well. For example you
can stick tape to the feet of your chair so that it does not scratch the
floor when you drag it across the room. Children also use adhesive
tape while doing projects for their craft class.
