Masking tape | | Used in homes and industry, this paper tape is used for masking areas. It is also used to smooth seams that will be painted over on temporary pieces.
Nano tape | | Also called "gecko tape", this tape is composed of arrays of carbon nanotubes and has directional adhesion properties. It can grip a load in one direction and release its grip when the direction of force is reversed.
Road surface marking | | Preformed polymer tapes that can be applied permanently or temporarily to the pavements to create road surface markings.
Scotch Tape | | A 3M brand name for a wide variety of office and industrial tapes.
Security tape | | A tape with special tamper indicating features.
Self fusing silicone tape | | A non-tacky tape which when stretched and wrapped around cables, electrical joints, hoses and pipes will amalgamate itself into a strong seamless rubbery, waterproof, and electrically insulating layer.
Sellotape | | A British brand name, a general-purpose clear home and office tape. The name is often used as a generic term for similar tapes in the UK.
Speed tape | | Used on aircraft, this aluminized tape is designed to remain in place in high winds.
