Operating Principle of Adhesive Tape

In 1928 in St. Paul, Minnesota, Richard Drew invented scotch tape. According to its effectiveness, the tape can be divided into the high-temperature tape, double-sided tape, insulating tape, special tape, pressure-sensitive tape, die-cut tape, different functions that are suitable for different industry needs. A layer of adhesive is applied to the surface of the tape to make the tape stick to the article. The earliest adhesives came from animals and plants. In the nineteenth century, rubber was the main component of adhesives; modern polymers are widely used.

Principle of use

The adhesive tape is composed of a base material and an adhesive, and two or more unconnected objects are connected together by bonding. Its surface is coated with a layer of adhesive. The earliest adhesives came from animals and plants. In the nineteenth century, rubber was the main component of adhesives; modern polymers are widely used. Adhesives can stick things because the molecules between themselves and the molecules to be connected form a bond, and this bond can hold the molecules firmly together. The composition of the adhesive has various polymers according to different brands and different types.
