Is acrylic tape the same as regular tape?

no the same.
Acrylic tape is coated with hot-melt pressure-sensitive adhesive and has high adhesive performance. Ordinary pressure-sensitive tape is coated with water-based pressure-sensitive adhesive and dried.
Acrylic tape is a general term for coated acrylic pressure-sensitive adhesive tapes, including water-based acrylic pressure-sensitive adhesive tapes, solvent-based acrylic pressure-sensitive adhesive tapes, and hot-melt acrylic adhesive tapes. Acrylic refers to acrylic glue, which is water-based and oil-based. The properties of oil-based glue, especially the peeling force, are greater than those of water-based. Ordinary glues may be rubber-based, etc., and their respective temperature resistance levels are related to the base material.
