Bonding is a fabric laminating process in which fabric and adhesive films or tapes are attached. The aim is to eliminate bulky stitched seams used in traditional cut-and sew bras or underwear, in order to achieve a smooth clean finish.

Mister Micawberadhesive film or tape is used to attach fabric.
can i say:
Bonding is a fabric laminating process in which adhesive film or tape is used to attached 'onto' fabric.?

I feel like something is missing before 'fabric'.


and also is it wrong to pluralise the noun : adhesive 'films' or 'tapes' ?

Mister Micawber they are uncountables here.

Hi

Exactly so. In a manufacturing process, you would expect different films and tapes to be used, so you might say:

- a process in which fabric and adhesive films or tapes are attached

Hello

so films and tapes are also correct in the sentence I posted earlier? either plural form or singular form is correct?

I'm so confused.
