Generally speaking, manufacturers use three different adhesive types in combination with the backing material to produce a final “tape” product. Though these adhesive types can be subdivided into subgroups, the main categories are as follows:

Tape offers polyethylene backed film tapes with rubber adhesive systems, also commonly known as PE tapes.  This product is highly versatile and used in several applications for sealing, bonding, wrapping, splicing and surface protection.  The PE film backing is conformable and easy to work with and offers a rubber adhesive system that is aggressive with immediate bond but removes cleanly from most surfaces. One of the applications where Polyethylene Tapes excel is as a vapor barrier tape due to their strong chemical and moisture resistance.
