Market Definition
An adhesive tape is a flexible material, typically made from cloth, cotton, fiber, paper, polyethylene (PE), or metal, which is coated on one or both sides with a sticky adhesive. The adhesive may be acrylic, silicone, or rubber-based. When light pressure (such as finger pressure) is applied, the adhesive tape adheres to a range of surfaces without undergoing any change in phase (from liquid to solid).
