Overview
ABSTRACT
There is a large range of adhesive tapes and their applications which each day find new applications in various domains such as the aeronautics, automotive and electronics sectors. Innovative solutions in terms of assembling, masking, protecting, labelling, decorating, packaging etc. have been implemented in order to improve product quality while optimizing industrial goods productivity and profitability. The adhesive tape, a non- toxic, clean, easy to implement, sustainable and size-adjustable product plays, and is to go on playing, a major part in the industry sector.

INTRODUCTION
The rise of polymers in the 20th century has led to the development of a wide variety of adhesive tapes, whose applications are finding new outlets every day in industrial markets such as aeronautics, automotive, marine, electrical, electronics, healthcare and the consumer market.
The mastery of precision coating processes, the wide variety of materials and increasingly specific needs favor the development of innovative solutions for assembly, masking, sealing, protection, marking, decoration, packaging, etc., to improve product quality while optimizing the productivity and profitability of industrial goods.
Non-toxic, clean, easy to apply, durable (the first applications being 40 years old) and able to be cut to the shape of parts, adhesive tape has a strong place in industry and is sure to have many years ahead of it.
