Standard electrical tape and things like it are going to have about 20g/m^2 of adhesive. That means that if your sling is 1/2" wide and your tape is too, you will have a total of 1/2in^2 in contact with your gear. 1/2in^2 is 0.00032m^2. 0.00032m^2*20g/m^2 = 0.006g of adhesive potentially in contact with your gear. That's 6 milligrams. Watch me not worry

I'm pretty certain that any supposedly detrimental effects of the adhesive are more than negated by the additional protection the tape gives against rubbing of the sling against the rock and/or sun exposure.
