NO, it's actually moisture in the binder.

Well if you want to get technical, yea. But the moisture causes the
adhesive to migrate when its absorbed and thats where the whole
problem comes from. Hygroscopic is the technical term for how the tape
binder has behaved. Read the Ciletti article....the remedy is there.
I've done it a bazillion times with 3M 226, Ampex 406/456, etc.
