What is a Pressure Sensitive Tape?
A pressure sensitive tape is any adhesive tape that will stick to a wide variety of clean dry surfaces with only the minimum of pressure applied. It is ready to use and does not need to be activated by water, solvent or heat. A pressure sensitive tape consists of a relatively thin, flexible backing or carrier, coated with an adhesive, which is permanently sticky at room temperature. The tapes can be manufactured with the adhesive coating on one side (single-sided) or both sides (double-sided) of the carrier.
