How To Choose the Right Tape

We get this question a lot: How do we actually know that it’s the right tape for the application and that it’s going to last? And that’s totally fair.

Almost everyone we know has a tape failure story, but tape isn’t the same as what you grew up with, or even what you used five years ago. Just as the cell phone in your pocket has gotten smaller, faster and smarter, adhesive technology has gotten stronger and more versatile.

On a job site full of tools and specialty equipment, tape may seem as ubiquitous as a hammer and nails. However, nothing beats tape for versatility, portability, and ease of use… that is IF you have the right tape for the job at hand. And that’s the conundrum, isn’t it? The sheer volume of pressure-sensitive adhesives is so overwhelming that it’s hard to know where to begin.
