A Deep Dive into the Pressure Sensitive Adhesive Tapes Market

The global pressure sensitive adhesive tapes market size is expected to reach USD 92.45 billion by 2030. This growth can be attributed to the increasing use of pressure-sensitive tapes as an optimum alternative to conventional adhesives and fasteners due to the globally rising concerns from the automotive industry to ensure light weighting.

A surge in the global population coupled with expeditious industrialization and urbanization in the transpiring economies is expected to fuel the construction spending to cater to the demand from the infrastructure sector. This is anticipated to propel the demand for pressure sensitive adhesive tapes in construction applications during the forecast period.

These include specialty tapes used in various applications such as automobile, aerospace, medical, hygiene, and white goods. The raw materials involved in manufacturing this kind of tape include rubber, acrylic, silicone, plastic, and paper. Pressure sensitive adhesive tapes possess various desirable properties such as thinner and lighter material, vibration dampening, noise reduction, and bonding dissimilar surfaces.

Automobile manufacturers are looking for ways to reduce vehicle weight to meet stringent fuel efficiency standards. The use of steel, aluminum, and composites in auto parts bring new bonding challenge for manufacturers. The bonding of these dissimilar materials requires high modulus and a wide temperature range, along with high strength and final curing. Additionally, these tapes are easy to use, hence reducing the effectiveness of traditional bonding methods such as welds and rivets in the vehicle.

There is an increase in demand for pressure sensitive adhesive tapes from the automotive industry for sealing and bonding roof trims and cladding, covering mirror mounting and assembling holes, and carrying out interior placement and enhancement in automobiles. They are also used in electric vehicle batteries owing to their excellent electrical resistance. Pressure sensitive adhesive tapes help improve the speed of the automobile, along with offering better performance in assembly lines than other fastening alternatives.

Pressure sensitive adhesive tapes are more efficient to lower the costs involved when compared to alternative fastening methods. In addition, they are more customizable and require no special tools or any heat, water, and solvent to activate their adherence. Pressure sensitive adhesive sheets allow original equipment manufacturers (OEMs) and automotive converters to manufacture a slimmer vehicle with better long-term reliability. Compared to conventional fasteners, screws, and other components, pressure sensitive adhesive tapes offer good cohesive strength, the ability to be manipulated by hand, wetting, and bond strength that increases with time.

the hardest part of writing is cutting very good passages simply because they don't fit the narrative in a cohesive way. ok remember this part?

He expected Gao Jianli to appreciate the story in the same way. But the look on the musician's face made him stop short. He had taken off his blindfold, there was no awe in his eyes, only pity.  "It must have been very painful," Gao Jianli whispered. "What's a little pain in the grand scheme of things?" the king replied with a laugh, amused by this girlish sentiment. "One suffers for a brief moment and earns a lifetime of benefits from it. Besides, I hardly remember it now."  The musician did not answer. He plucked a few notes on the zhu, and they sounded like raindrops falling on a hot terracotta roof. A gentle pitter-patter followed by the hiss of rising steam, like a tiny, sorrowful sigh.

Here's what was suppose to come after it:

The king frowned, not knowing if he liked this strange sound. It made something ache deep within his chest, a totally alien sensation. Like he was a bronze chime being rung with a mallet. Like the feet of one thousand ants marching across his skin. Like a cool, soft hand slipping under his clothes, tracing his fever-hot skin, and slotting itself between the bones of his ribs, worming around the fragile, blood-red membranes of his spleen and liver, so wrong and so, so gentle, higher and higher, until it reached his chest and laid itself softly over a bruise--  "That's enough!" King Ying Zheng's voice rang out harshly in the large, austere room. He had stepped backwards impulsively and almost tripped over the long train of his coat. It was a jerky, undignified movement, like he had been burned. Gao Jianli flinched at the king's voice and silenced the strings with press of his hands. His head was bowed like he was expecting a blow, yet his small, bright eyes were still focused intently on Ying Zheng.  The king stood there glaring at the musician, his chest heaving like he had run a mile, his mind all mist and jagged rocks. There was a gnawing at the back of his throat, the ghost of a memory of a boy who had been screaming for a long time, the wound torn afresh by the sight of a door opening twenty-three years too late, which was worse than never opening at all.  "Did that not please you, My King?" Gao Jianli's voice was rough. His tongue, small and pink, darted out and licked a bead of sweat from his upper lip. Ying Zheng itched to strike him, but could not force himself to get close enough to do so. The alchemy of Gao Jianli's music had not yet dissipated, the trembling coward was transfigured, in that moment he was half a sage and half venomous snake.  With great effort, the King of Qin collected the scattered pieces of himself with an imperious thrust of his chin. Qin men never show fear. In the bare light of day, the king could clearly see that the musician's hands were in fact very calloused. The tips of his fingers were armored in a thick yellow carapace, forged by decades of constant practice. Of course they're rough. The king reminded himself uneasily. Why had he assumed those hands would be soft? 

cutting this was the hardest decision in my life, but it just didn't fit. i cranked up the emotion too high without enough build-up, or any way to balance it out on the other end. (to put it frankly, there's not enough foreplay.) also gao jianli is suppose to be passively suicidal right now, and they've only just met. it would be a 180 for his character.

Warmup sketching, messing with colors. The tape I got didn’t work too well though. I’m in a bit of a time crunch getting things together for convention applications before I leave town for like, half of February. I think at the very least I’ll have some sketches before I leave but my time lately has been dedicated to pulling stuff together.

this apartment application process has been such a hassle bc of technological issues on their end, call me a boomer but i don’t see why i can’t just do it in person on paper and be done with it
