Electrical tape is designed to provide a secure bond but is easily removable and residue free. Duct tape is exceptionally sticky due to its adhesive composition. The rubber-based adhesive allows duct tape to bond with various surfaces for long periods of time. Because of its extreme stickiness, residue sometimes is left behind.
Protective plastic sheets and films can also be made of polyethylene. The surface protection tape that you find on new appliances is made of polyethylene film.
