Pressure-sensitive tapes are adhesive strips that bond to surfaces when pressure is applied, without the need for heat or water. They come in various types, including masking tape, duct tape, and double-sided tape, each designed for specific applications. These tapes are commonly used in industries like construction, packaging, and electronics. The adhesive on pressure-sensitive tapes allows for easy application and removal, making them versatile for both temporary and permanent uses. They can adhere to a wide range of materials, such as paper, plastic, and metal, providing solutions for tasks like sealing, mounting, and insulation.
