Adhesive tapes are versatile and inexpensive, and they can be used for a variety of applications such as joining, masking, sealing, splicing, bundling, and surface protection. Adhesive tapes have grown in popularity since they do not require any machinery or specific tools to apply. They are light and compact and come in rolls that may be unwound as needed. Adhesive tape, unlike traditional mechanical fasteners such as screws and bolts, avoids the need to pierce or punch the substrate, causing stress on a surface. The aforementioned factors are expected to propel the adhesive tapes market.
