Bonding conditions: The task at hand will determine the type of tape that you will need. Some applications where adhesive tape is used are mounting and trim attachment, small joint assembly, gasket attachment, large surface lamination etc. Identify the closest assembly type for your operation based on calculation of the joints and development method.

Type of materials: The materials you are dealing with will also affect the type of tape you need for the job. If you are dealing with metal, you may need industrial adhesive tape that bonds metal substrates. Plastics can be split into high surface energy plastics such as acrylic and low surface energy plastics such as polypropylene, each of which requires different types of adhesive. The simplest materials to seal and bond are paper and board which could use solvent rubber adhesives. The temperature involved in bonding will also have to be taken into consideration.

Environmental conditions: Adhesive tapes for masking and protective measures are not limited to specific standards. They can be experimented with depending on the environmental conditions and field of use. If you are using the tape outdoors, it should be able to withstand temperature fluctuations and moisture. It should also be able to sustain in places where the tape is exposed to UV light and should have UV barrier protection. Acrylic adhesives are preferred in these kinds of environments as opposed to rubber resin adhesive. High bond acrylic foam tapes can be used in outdoor projects where the tape will be exposed to water and temperature fluctuations.
