Polyethylene film tape (6350X) is a 5.5-mil thick tape with acrylic rubber adhesive. This film tape is flexible, conformable, durable, and chemical resistant. It is also resistant to tears, punctures, and abrasions, which makes it a good protective tape. It is also a good barrier tape for gas and moisture-proofing. Taping with polyethylene film tape produces a permanent bond with no edge bleeding.

Solvent based natural rubber adhesives are used in carton sealing PVC tapes, and Polypropylene tapes. Natural rubber adhesives bond well to a variety of materials including leather, fabrics, and paper. Polypropylene natural rubber adhesive tapes are also known as cold room tapes. They can withstand temperatures 0-150 degrees F. These tapes have good water resistance and have been specifically made to adhere to recycled corrugated. They have a quiet unwind and make excellent packaging tape. Because rubber is non-conductive, electrical tapes often use a natural rubber adhesive.

Rubber tapes are generally non-adhesive, and are either equipped with a liner or are linerless. Stretched and overlapped layers will fuse or bond together to form an effective electrical insulation and moisture barrier. For low-voltage (1000V or less) applications, rubber tapes should be stretched during wrapping so that tape width is reduced to approximately 75%. For high- and medium-voltage applications — where the electrical stresses are high (e.g. connector areas, lug areas, and cable shield cut-back areas) — tape should be stretched just short of its breaking point.
