Tack
Property that signifies how fast the tape will start making bonds with the substrate. Often measured by a ball test.
Adhesion
Property that denotes the strength of the bond formed between the tape and the substrate. It denotes how strong the tape will stick to its substrate. Often measured as adhesion to steel.
Tensile Strength
Measures the strength of the tape required to break it. It denotes the maximum weight a tape can survive.
Holding Power
By far the most important property of a tape. It signifies the probability of bond formation between the tape and its substrate. It denotes for how long the tape will stick to its substrate. Often measured in minutes.
