What Is Duct Tape? Construction and Uses

Duct tape is a multipurpose tape typically combining a fabric-reinforced backing and a pressure-sensitive adhesive. Some versions have polyethylene over the fabric; construction and adhesive vary by product.

Potential applications

Temporary holding, securing protective sheets, light bundling and non-critical general maintenance are possible uses. Surface, environment and dwell time influence selection.

Verify suitability

Review the specific data sheet and test application and removal on the actual surface. Electrical insulation, pressurised systems and load-bearing connections require products approved for the purpose and expert assessment.
