Adhesive tape is a type of tape that is coated with an adhesive on one or both sides. It is commonly used for binding, sealing, or masking objects. Adhesive tape comes in a variety of sizes, colors, and materials, each with different levels of adhesive strength and properties that make them suitable for specific applications. The most common type of adhesive tape is pressure-sensitive tape, which relies on pressure to activate the adhesive. When the tape is applied to a surface and pressure is applied, the adhesive bonds to the surface. Pressure-sensitive tape is often made from a flexible backing material such as paper, plastic, or fabric, with a layer of adhesive on one side.
