Specialty Tapes

Specialty tapes have application-specific designs that enhance particular capabilities of the adhesive tape. This can include abrasion and chemical resistance, the adhesion properties, or any other features not commonly available in general varieties of adhesive tape. These tapes may lack usefulness outside of their intended function, and may not resemble the footprint expected of rolled tape.

‘Specialty tape’ is not standard industrial tape lexicon, but incorporates a wide variety of tapes that are not covered for one reason or another in IHS Engineering360’s already extensive catalogue of tape selection guides.

Due to the large variety of specific tape designs, it is impractical to cover the operation of specialty tapes. Unless otherwise noted, the function and manufacture of the tape falls in-line with that of typical adhesive tapes.
