Read the structure, see the performance

Every tape is a stack of liner, adhesive and carrier. Once you know what each layer decides, all 18 TDS read in the same grammar.

Liner (release film)AdhesiveCarrierAdhesive (differential if sides differ)
Liner → conversion

Paper (PCK / glassine) suits die-cutting & flatbed work; film (PET / MOPP) suits rotary, low-particle processes. A double liner (WH / PV36) is for pre-fabrication.

Adhesive → what, how strong, how hot

Mostly acrylic. Tackified acrylic grips LSE (PP/PE) and rough surfaces; rubber-based suits places where hand-tearability and flexibility matter, like harnesses. Some high-performance acrylics (200MP) are not recommended for LSE.

Carrier → thickness, flexibility, stability

Nonwoven for conformability, film for precise gauge and heat, foam for gap-filling / stress relaxation / waterproofing. No carrier means a transfer tape.

LinerAdhesiveNonwovenAdhesive
Nonwoven double-sided 7

Tissue / nonwoven carrier. Flexible and conformable, easy to die-cut — usually the 'general-purpose' baseline.

At a glance

Steel/SUS peel uses different test methods per brand, so the 'normalized N/cm' column is only a rough sense of scale. 3M uses ASTM/FINAT at 72 h, tesa its own method at initial & 14 days, Nitto measures after 30 min with a PET#25 backing.

Unit conversion: N/25mm ÷ 2.5 = N/cm · N/20mm ÷ 2 = N/cm · N/10mm = N/cm · oz/in × 0.109 = N/cm. Acrylic foam (4229P) is a kg-unit foam-split test and was not converted. Use for relative comparison within a brand rather than absolute comparison across brands.
