Moreover, the clean and neutral appearance of white tape makes it an ideal choice for aesthetic repairs. When a visible repair is necessary, using white tape can provide a cleaner, more discreet solution compared to more colorful alternatives. This can be particularly important in home décor or when maintaining the appearance of household items.

Acrylic Adhesive (water based and solvent)

When you need adhesive tape for construction repairs, you want something practical and reliable, and you don’t need to look any further than butyl tape.

In general, rubber based adhesives are not UV or oxidation resistant which is why they tend to be used predominantly in interior applications. Having said that, antioxidants and UV stabilizer packages can be added to the formulation to help mitigate these weaknesses. Some synthetic elastomers exhibit vastly improved UV stability over natural rubbers. Chemical resistance can also be problematic as is resistance to elevated service temperatures (typically 180- 200°F at the top end). The great strength of rubber-based adhesives is their wide formulation latitude.  These adhesives can be compounded to be removable, repositionable, or extremely permanent. High strength foam bonding tapes can be made from rubber based adhesives or easily removable masking products can also be offered. Rubber based adhesive adhere to many surfaces including low surface energy plastics such as polypropylene and polyethylene. And to top it all off, rubber based adhesives are economical. They get the job done at a very fair price! Adhesive tapes made from rubber based adhesives have come a long way since Dr. Day’s first surgical tape and they still offer a cost-effective way to bond, seal, and protect.
