A   A pressure sensitive tape is made out of two different components; flexible film and adhesive. The flexible backing or carrier, is coated with a thin layer of adhesive and oven dried. Tapes can be manufactured with the adhesive coating on one side (single-sided) or on both sides (double-sided).

Q   Why doesn't tape stick to itself on the Roll?
A   Pressure sensitive adhesive bonds immediately to multiple ranges of surfaces. So why doesn’t tape sticks to itself? The film that were used are first treated to ensure easy unwinding during usage.
     
Q   Are yellow clear tapes more sticky than white?
A   No, Color does not affect performance or whatsoever
     
Q   There are bubbles in the tape, they are no good
A   Freshly produced tapes are “hot” in nature and evaporation of water vapor are trapped in between layers. Bubbles will dissipate over time.
