Adhesives and the resultant tapes made from this class of elastomers is very versatile and the most frequently used. These adhesives typically use styrene butadiene rubber (SBR) or styrene block copolymers such as styrene-butadiene styrene (SBS) , styrene –isoprene-styrene(SIS), or SEBS(styrene-ethyelene/butylene-styrene.. Block copolymers have thermoplastic styrene end blocks with an elastomeric midblock.  Different tackifying resins can be used for each distinct phase of the base and the resulting adhesives can be tailored to exhibit aggressive tack, high peel, and excellent cohesive strength. There are a variety of tape products made from these systems including double coated film tapes, transfer adhesives, foam tapes, and carton sealing tapes. These tapes can be used for interior bonding and assembly applications, fabricating foam gaskets and seals, and of course duct tape.

Automotive enthusiasts also appreciate the benefits of amalgamating rubber tape. It can be used to seal and protect electrical connections, repair hoses and hoses, and even temporarily fix exhaust leaks. Its durability and resistance to oils and fuels make it a reliable solution for various automotive maintenance and repair tasks.

Fire-resistant electrical tape is versatile and can be used in numerous applications. In industrial environments, where heavy machinery and high electrical loads are common, the risk of electrical fires increases. Using fire-resistant tape to insulate wires and connections can substantially mitigate this risk. It is particularly beneficial in high-temperature applications, such as motors, transformers, and circuit boards.

Hydraulic control boxes are another type of control device you’ll frequently encounter in heavy industry. These devices control the pressure of hydraulic fluid throughout a system and are used in contexts from construction equipment to manufacturing floors to agricultural applications such as automatic hay balers .
