Adhesive tape is a flexible strip coated with a sticky substance on one side, allowing it to bond to various surfaces. It is commonly used for tasks like sealing packages, repairing items, or holding objects together. The tape can be made from different materials, including paper, plastic, or fabric, and comes in various widths and lengths. There are many types of adhesive tape, such as masking tape, duct tape, and double-sided tape, each designed for specific applications. The adhesive can vary in strength, making some tapes suitable for light tasks while others are designed for heavy-duty use.
