As a result, the backing also determines the applications for which the tape is suitable.<\/p>\n<p>The adhesive cannot always be applied directly to the tape backing. This is the case, for example, when the backing layer consists of untreated PE film (the abbreviation PE stands for the plastic polyethylene). Many adhesives simply do not adhere to this surface. Depending on the adhesive system, a so-called <strong>primer<\/strong> must therefore be applied to the backing <strong>as an adhesion promoter<\/strong>. The primer ensures that the adhesive and the backing form a stable, secure bond. This is the only way the tape can function properly.<\/p>\n<p>By the way: Not every type of tape requires a backing.

For short term masking applications\u2014such as when painting walls\u2014excessive adhesion is undesirable, as the tape could damage the surface when removed. If cohesion is too low, the adhesive may split when removed, leaving residue on the surface.<\/p><p>The interactions between adhesives, substrates, and environmental conditions (e.g., temperatures, UV radiation) are very complex, as there are a large number of possible combinations. To achieve optimal results, it is therefore highly recommended to perform a preliminary bond test before beginning any work.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-a950155 elementor-widget elementor-widget-heading\" data-id=\"a950155\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"heading.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<h4 class=\"elementor-heading-title elementor-size-default\">Types of Adhesives and Their Properties<\/h4>\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-d27a63d elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"d27a63d\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div style=\"overflow-x:auto; -webkit-overflow-scrolling:touch;\">\n<table style=\"min-width:900px;\">\n<table>\n<tbody>\n<tr>\n<th>Adhesive<\/th>\n<th>Composition<\/th>\n<th>Properties<\/th>\n<th>Examples of Use<\/th>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<th style=\"vertical-align: middle;\">Natural rubber<\/th>\n<td style=\"vertical-align: middle;\">Consists of ground natural rubber dissolved in\nsolvents<\/td>\n<td>\n<ul>\n \t<li>High initial adhesion<\/li>\n \t<li>Lower increase in adhesive strength with increasing bonding time<\/li>\n \t<li>High shear strength\/cohesion<\/li>\n \t<li>Lower temperature and aging resistance<\/li>\n \t<li>Low UV resistance<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/td>\n<td style=\"vertical-align: middle;\">For short- and medium-term use<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<th style=\"vertical-align: middle;\">Synthetic rubber<\/th>\n<td style=\"vertical-align: middle;\">Synthetically produced through the polymerization of\nvarious monomers<\/td>\n<td>The properties depend heavily on the monomers and\nadditives used.
