There are unlimited potential applications for pressure sensitive tapes in assembly manufacturing, from becoming an integral part of the finished product, to an essential part of the manufacturing process, or simply defining a work space. Tape is often used as a substitute for mechanical fasteners and the selection is generally based on properties such as permanent or removable adhesive, vibration or sound dampening attributes, electrical conductive properties of the adhesive or foils and colors for coding, line marking or hazard protection. Teflon coated tapes that resist heat and reduce friction are cost effective solutions in many production environments.
