What is adhesive tape?

Adhesive tape is one of many varieties of carrier materials coated with an adhesive. Many types of adhesives can be used. "Pressure sensitive adhesive tape can be defined as a continuous flexible strip of cloth, paper, metal, plastic or foam coated on one or both sides with a permanently tacky adhesive at room temperature which will adhere to a variety of surfaces with light pressure (finger pressure) with no phase change (liquid to solid) and usually in roll form. PSAs can be blends of natural or synthetic rubber and resin, acrylic, silicone or other polymer systems, with or without additives." -Pressure Sensative Tape Council (PSTC)
