What are the different types of tape?

Main Types of Tape
1. Base Material Classification
BOPP Tape: Based on biaxially oriented polypropylene (BOPP) film, it is commonly used for sealing and packaging applications.
PVC Tape: Based on polyvinyl chloride, it offers excellent weather resistance and insulation properties and is widely used in electrical and waterproofing applications.
Cloth Tape: Based on fiber cloth and coated with an oil-based pressure-sensitive adhesive, it offers excellent initial tack, water resistance, and tear resistance, making it suitable for heavy-duty packaging and industrial securing.
Kraft Paper Tape: Based on kraft paper, it offers strong adhesion and high-temperature resistance, making it commonly used for food packaging and heavy-duty box sealing.
Masking Tape: Based on masking paper, it offers high-temperature and chemical solvent resistance and is primarily used for paint masking and decoration.
Aluminum Foil Tape: Based on aluminum foil, it offers barrier, moisture-proof, and corrosion-resistant properties and is commonly used for food preservation and electronic protection. PE Stretch Film: Polyethylene film is stretched to form a film with high strength and moisture resistance, making it suitable for packaging and strapping.
Double-Sided Tape: The backing can be made of tissue paper, PET, or non-woven fabric, and the adhesive side is pressure-sensitive adhesive. It is widely used in industrial bonding, electronic assembly, and other applications.
2. Functional Classification (by Purpose)

Sealing Tape (Packaging)
Electrical Insulation Tape (Electric Shock Protection, Moisture Protection)
Waterproof and Anti-Corrosion Tape (Pipeline, Building Waterproofing)
Specialty Tape (High-Temperature, Low-Temperature, Flame-Retardant, Chemical Resistance)
Decorative and Warning Tape (Masking Paper, Reflective Warning)
3. Adhesive Type

Acrylic, rubber, silicone, etc. Different adhesives determine the heat resistance, weather resistance, and environmental friendliness of the tape.
What tape is stronger than duct tape?
Duct tape typically uses a PVC or PE backing, with an adhesive strength of 3–8 N/cm and a tensile strength of approximately 34–35 N/cm. Where higher tensile and tear resistance is required, the following tapes can be used:
