Get to Know
What Is Single-Sided Tape?
Industrial-grade single-sided tape (one-sided tape) is a tape with adhesive on one side of a backing material, designed for jobs that ordinary tape can't handle
The difference lies in matching the backing and adhesive type to the working conditions without reacting with the workpiece
Used where you need
- Chemical ResistanceSolvents, oil and cleaning agents
- Extreme TemperaturesFrom hot baking to cold rooms
- Abrasion ResistanceProtects surfaces during production and transport
- Anti-StaticElectronics work sensitive to ESD
Single-Sided Tape Structure
Cross-section, top to bottom
Common Adhesive Types
- AcrylicSun and UV resistant, long-lasting bond for permanent applications
- SiliconeHigh heat resistance, clean removal for paint & bake masking
- RubberFast grab, high initial tack, for general and temporary applications

HOW TO CHOOSE
How to Choose Tape That Matches Your Specs
Answer these 5 questions before choosing a model to prevent tape failure, adhesive residue and ordering the wrong spec
-
1
What Is the Tape For?
Define the purpose
e.g. masking, sealing, wire harnessing, surface protection, reinforcing, heat resistance, conductivity or marking
-
2
What Surface Will It Stick To?
Check the surface
e.g. metal, glass, plastic, paper, wood, rubber, painted surfaces or rough surfaces (PP / PE plastics need a special adhesive)
-
3
What Are the Operating Conditions?
Assess the environment
Application and service temperature, humidity, water, oil, chemicals, sunlight / UV and outdoor use
-
4
How Long Must It Stay On?
Set the duration
Temporary (removed after the job), long-term or permanent
-
5
Any Special Requirements?
Check special requirements
e.g. residue-free, electrical insulation, flame retardant, ESD protection, cleanroom use or certified standards

01BASICS
The Basics
3 questions
-
What is single-sided tape?
A tape with an adhesive layer on one side of a backing such as film, paper, cloth or foil, used for sealing, surface protection, insulation, masking and marking.
-
How is it different from double-sided tape?
Single-sided tape suits covering, wrapping, marking and protection work, while double-sided tape has adhesive on both sides and bonds two materials together.
-
What types of single-sided tape are there?
They fall into several groups by application, such as masking / painting, electrical / electronics, foil / EMI, surface protection, reinforcing and marking
02SELECTION
Selection
7 questions
-
Which tapes are best for high-heat applications?
Kapton Tape (Polyimide) and Aluminum Foil Tape are suited to high-heat work. Check the service temperature in each model's TDS.
-
Which tapes can be used for electrical insulation?
PVC tape and Mylar insulation tape can be used for electrical insulation. Choose the grade based on voltage and operating temperature.
-
Which tapes remove cleanly without residue?
Washi Tape and Protection Tape — many models are designed for clean removal, depending on the model, surface and how long the tape stays on.
-
What's the difference between aluminum and copper foil tape?
Aluminum excels at heat reflection and sealing, while Conductive Copper Foil Tape excels at reducing EMI / RFI interference and grounding.
-
Can adhesive tape stick to plastic?
Yes, but for low-surface-energy plastics such as PP or PE, choose a suitable adhesive or use a primer to improve adhesion.
-
Do I need to clean the surface before applying?
Yes. The surface should be dry and free of dust, oil and moisture to achieve full adhesion.
-
How should adhesive tape be stored?
Store in a cool, dry place away from sunlight and humidity, lay rolls flat, and keep the packaging sealed.
