Adhesive tapeAdhesive tape is an adhesive-coated fastening tape used for temporary or, in some cases, permanent joining. Single-sided tapes allow joining of two overlapping or adjoining materials, while double-sided tape (adhesive on both sides) allows joining of two items back-to-back. These tapes are made by applying an adhesive emulsion to a tape or film that is then wound onto a roll. Manufacture often involves winding large films of material onto a roll and then cutting the roll into convenient widths. Adhesive tape was invented in 1925 by Richard Drew of the 3M (Minnesota Mining and Manufacturing) Company. The original tape was a paper-backed masking tape. Transparent and other tapes grew from this invention. ==Varieties of Adhesive Tape== *Transparent Tape ("Sticky Tape") like Scotch Tape and Sellotape is cellulose-based and transparent. *'Gaffer tape' is normally based on a heavy fabric or plastic tape. The name derives from its use by gaffers in the entertainment industry among others, to hold down cables particularly to obviate or prevent tripping hazard. *Duct tape (sometimes referred to as "duck tape") has a fabric backing and many uses. *Masking tape is used to cover areas that shouldn't be painted. It has a paper backing and weak adhesive. *Electrical tape is made of materials like vinyl that do not conduct electricity.
