As a widely used item, adhesive tape has many types and a wide range of application scenarios. The following will list and explain in detail some common types of adhesive tape and their specific applications in daily life and industrial production.

Application in daily life

Transparent tape

Use: Transparent tape is one of the most common types of tape, mainly used to repair damaged items, such as books, paper, etc. In addition, it can also be used for sealing, such as envelopes, parcels, etc., to ensure that the items are not damaged or opened during transportation. Transparent tape can also be used for cleaning, such as cleaning dust and stains on keyboards.

Features: High transparency, does not affect the observation of sealed or repaired items; moderate viscosity, easy to tear off without leaving residual glue; affordable price, easy to buy.

Double-sided tape

Use: Double-sided tape is mainly used for fixing and pasting, such as fixing posters, photo walls, decorative paintings, etc. It can also be used for DIY handmade, firmly bonding different materials together. In addition, double-sided tape can also be used to temporarily fix items, such as fixing wires, water pipes, etc.

Features: Both sides are sticky, and can be firmly pasted between two items; strong viscosity, but easy to tear off without leaving residual glue; suitable for a variety of material surfaces.

Cloth-based tape

Use: Cloth-based tape is mainly used for temporary repairs of carpets, furniture, etc. During the decoration process, it can be used to fix and protect items such as door and window frames, sockets and switches to prevent paint from splashing on these items. In addition, cloth-based tape can also be used to make handicrafts or as a decorative material.

Features: With gauze fiber as the base material, it has strong viscosity and excellent tensile resistance, waterproofness, anti-corrosion and other properties; easy to tear off without leaving residual glue; the price is relatively high but the durability is good.

Masking tape

Uses: Masking tape is mainly used for masking decoration, making handicrafts, DIY decoration, etc. It can be easily torn off without leaving residual glue, which is very suitable for occasions that require frequent replacement or adjustment. In addition, masking tape can also be used to temporarily fix items or as a label.

Features: With masking paper as the base material, the colors are diverse and easy to identify; moderate viscosity but easy to tear off without leaving residual glue; affordable and easy to buy.

Application in industrial production

(Although the types of tape listed below are often used in industrial production, they can also be used in daily life under certain circumstances)

High temperature tape

Use: High temperature tape is mainly used for spray painting, paint leather processing, coating masking and fixing in the process of electronic parts in the electronics industry. In addition, it can also be used for fixing and insulating parts in the automotive industry.

Features: The temperature resistance is usually between 120 degrees and 260 degrees, with good high temperature resistance; strong tensile strength and not easy to break; suitable for a variety of material surfaces.

Insulating tape

Use: Insulating tape is mainly used for wire connection, electrical insulation, thermal insulation protection, etc. In the process of electrical maintenance and manufacturing, it can ensure the safety and stability of the circuit. In addition, insulating tape can also be used for fixing and insulating wires in the automotive industry.

Features: It has good insulation pressure resistance, flame retardancy, weather resistance and other characteristics; moderate viscosity but easy to tear off without leaving residual glue; relatively high price but safe and reliable.

Pressure-sensitive tape

Use: Pressure-sensitive tape is mainly used in occasions where temporary fixing or connection is required, such as electronic product assembly, automotive parts fixing, etc. It can achieve good adhesion through pressure, which is convenient and easy to use.

Features: Good adhesion can be achieved through pressure; Suitable for a variety of material surfaces; Easy to tear off without leaving residual glue; Moderately priced and easy to buy.

Die-cut tape

Uses: Die-cut tape is a tape customized according to specific shapes and sizes, mainly used for fixing and connecting precision equipment. It is widely used in electronic equipment manufacturing and automobile repair.

Features: It can be customized according to customer needs; Moderate viscosity but easy to tear off without leaving residual glue; Suitable for a variety of material surfaces; Price depends on customization needs.
