Sellotape is a British cast of transparent, cellulose-based, burden acute adhering tape, and is the arch cast of clear, burden acute band in the United Kingdom. Sellotape is about acclimated for joining, sealing, adhering and mending. The appellation has become a genericised cast in Britain, Serbia and Croatia, and is acclimated abundant in the aforementioned way that scotch band came to be acclimated in America, apropos to any cast of bright adhering tape.1

History
The name ‘Sellotape’ was coined in 1937 by Colin Kininmonth and George Gray, who fabricated the artefact by applying elastic adhesive to cellophane film. The name was acquired from "Sellophane", which itself was acquired from Cellophane, at that time a trademarked name, with the "C" afflicted to "S" so that the new name could be trademarked.2
The band was originally bogus in Acton, West London. From the 1960s to 1980s, the Sellotape aggregation was allotment of Dickinson Robinson Group, a British packaging and cardboard conglomerate. In 2002, it was bought by Henkel Consumer Adhesives.
Sellotape Industrial was bought by Scapa Group plc in 1997, and their articles abide to be to bogus at its branch in Dunstable, Bedfordshire

Products
Sellotape Original is fabricated application artificial blur acquired from copse pulp. The artificial blur decomposes by itself in soil, and is by itself simple breach and non-static.
The Sellotape cast now covers a array of band products, and the chat is frequently acclimated to accredit to added adhering tapes in abounding countries due to its bazaar exposure. As an archetype of a genericised trademark, it has an access in the Oxford English Dictionary.

Tape glossary
Backing. The primary basic of band aloft which an adhering is applied. Examples are cloth, paper, metal foil, blur etc.
Conformability. Ability of a band to accomplish absolute acquaintance with a asperous or asperous surface.
Creped. Cardboard that has baby "folds" to accommodate stretchability and conformability.
Double-coated, or alternate tape. Pressure-sensitive band with adhering on both abandon of the carrier material.
Gapping. Openings amid layers of band aural a roll.
Release coating. A actual attenuate blanket activated to the impervious band abetment so as to acquiesce the band to be unwound at a controlled level.
Substrate. The actual which the PSA band have to attach to
Tack. The adhesive feel of the tape. It is the antecedent adherence after rub-down.
Telescoping. A alongside sliding of the band layers, one over the other, so that the cycle looks like a carry or telescope.
Unwind. The force to abolish or disentangle the band from a roll.

PSA tape standards
The PSA industry is in the action of accumulation the several standards anon in use. The a lot of alive organizations are:
ISO All-embracing Organization for Standardization - A European AFNOR board is currently alive in the analogue of all-embracing standards; some of the a lot of accepted analysis methods, such as Peel Adhesion, Static Shear Adhesion, Break Strength and Elongation are anon ISO standard
ASTM : ASTM All-embracing has several Technical Committees which address standards accompanying to burden acute tape.
PSTC : Burden Acute Band Council (tapes, North America)
TLMI : Tag & Label Manufacturers Institute (labels, North America)
AFERA : European Association for the Self Adhesive Band Industry (tapes, Europe)
FINAT : Féderation INternationale des fabricants et transformateurs d' Adhésifs et Thermocollants (labels, Europe)
JATMA : Japanese Adhesive Tapes Manufacturers Association
ASTM All-embracing has dozens of standards accompanying to burden acute tape. Some of them are for accepted types of PSA tape: Others are for specific types. For archetype ASTM D1000 has analysis methods for electrical tapes. There are ASTM blueprint for abounding tapes including: D2301 for vinyl electrical tape, D5486 for box sealing tape, etc. Several of the ASTM analysis methods are accommodating with PSTC, added barter associations, and added all-embracing organizations.
Following are a few examples of some ASTM standards and counterparts:
