WHAT DOES STICKY TAPE MEAN IN ENGLISH?

sticky tape

Pressure-sensitive tape

Pressure-sensitive tape, known also in various countries as PSA tape, adhesive tape, self-stick tape, sticky tape, or just tape, is an adhesive tape that will stick with application pressure, without the need for solvent, heat, or water for activation. It can be used in the home, office, industry, and institutions for a wide variety of purposes. The tape consists of a pressure-sensitive adhesive coated onto a backing material such as paper, plastic film, cloth, or metal foil. Some have a removable release liner which protects the adhesive until the liner is removed. Some have layers of adhesives, primers, easy release materials, filaments, printing, etc. made for specific functions. It will stick without the need for solvent, heat, or water for activation. By contrast a "gummed" or "water activated" adhesive tape requires warm water for activation. Likewise, some "heat activated" tapes require heat. Single-sided tapes allow bonding to a surface or joining of two adjacent or overlapping materials. Double-sided tape allows joining of two items back-to-back. Pressure-sensitive adhesive was first developed in 1845 by Dr.
