Just from looking at the roll, it is very hard to tell what type of rubber is used on the tape. Look at the figure to the right, and this same picture can be used to describe every type of rubber-tape below. The key is to ask the supplier what type of rubber adhesive is used. Like acrylics, rubber adhesives can be divided into two subgroups: Natural and Synthetic

Self-fusing rubber tape, also known as self-vulcanizing tape, is made from a specialized rubber material that adheres to itself when stretched and wrapped around an object. Unlike traditional tapes, which rely on adhesive to stick to surfaces, self-fusing tape bonds through a process called vulcanization. This means that when the tape is applied under tension, the molecules of the rubber intermingle and create a solid, impermeable layer that is both waterproof and electrically insulating.
