Double-Sided Tape, also known as Double-Coated Tape or Double-Faced Tape is a pressure-sensitive tape consisting of film, foam, paper, cloth, or a foil carrier, with an acrylic, rubber, or silicone adhesive coated on both sides in any combination. Double-sided tape is coated with pressure-sensitive adhesive on both sides. When sandwiched between two surfaces, double-sided tape forms an invisible bond between them. Double-sided tape is designed to stick two surfaces together without being visible. Double-Sided Tapes are created when an adhesive is coated onto both sides of a carrier material. The tape is then wound with a release liner, commonly paper that has been coated on both sides with a silicone release agent. The carrier is typically a polymeric film, foam, paper, cloth, or foil, coated with an acrylic, rubber, or silicone adhesive. The adhesive can be the same on both sides or each side of the carrier can have different adhesive and coating thicknesses, referred to as Differential Adhesive Tape. Double-Sided Tape, also known as Double-Coated Tape or Double-Faced Tape is a pressure-sensitive tape consisting of film, foam, paper, cloth, or a foil carrier, with an acrylic, rubber, or silicone adhesive coated on both sides in any combination. Double coated tapes can adhere to a wide variety of surfaces and are used in many applications such as bonding, holding, mounting, splicing, packaging, and medical applications. The self-amalgamating tape is a non-tacky silicone-rubber tape which when stretched and wrapped around cables, electrical joints, hoses, and pipes combine or unites itself into a strong, seamless, rubbery, waterproof, and an electrically insulating layer.
