Determining Your Needs




Which tape to use can determine the success or failure of a project. At Universal Tape we'll walk you through some questions that need to be answered to ensure that you get the product that is perfect for your application.


This is a sample of the sort of questions you may need to answer:

  • What is the application?
  • What type of equipment is being used?
  • What surfaces are being bound together?
  • Describe the nature of the surfaces.
  • What conditions must the adhesive withstand?
  • Do the surfaces contain plasticizers?
  • Must the tape be removable/repositionable or is it permanent?
  • How wide must the adhesive be?
  • How wide must the liner be?
  • Should the liner be paper or plastic?
