Tape is a material with adhesive on one or both sides, utilized to create a bond between two or more items. The selection of tape should be tailored to the specific materials being bonded and the desired strength of the bond. Different types of tape are categorized by their classification (e.g., antistatic, electrical, duct), adhesive composition (such as acrylic, epoxy, polymer, rubber), backing material (including acrylic, aluminum, paper), size, and intended application.
