FAQs
What can duct tape be used for?
Duct tape can be used for securing loose parts, sealing holes or windows and patching leaks, mending broken furniture, wrapping or taping items together, labelling items and securing loose wires or cable. The possibilities are almost endless - duct tape is an essential tool to have in the home, garage or workplace.
What are the key features of duct tape?
Duct tape is popular due to its strength and flexibility and can easily be cut to size using scissors. For example, it is long-lasting in harsh conditions thanks to its strong adhesive and fabric reinforcement, while it is flexible and sticks to irregular shapes. Available in a variety of colours such as silver, red, blue, yellow, black and green, duct tape can be reflective and non-reflective for different uses and organisational purposes.
Is duct tape waterproof?
Duct tape is water resistant to an extent as it is made with a cloth tape backing coated with polyethylene, making it useful for temporary outdoor repairs. While it is strong, durable, and can handle moisture, it is not usually completely waterproof.
How do I remove duct tape residue?
Residue can be removed using adhesive removers, rubbing alcohol or soap and water. Always test the remover on a small area first to ensure it doesn’t damage the surface. It can also be cleanly removed from surfaces like plastic and metal when removed within a reasonable timeframe.
Can duct tape be used in extreme temperatures?
Duct tape performs best in moderate temperatures. Extreme heat can cause the adhesive to melt, and extreme cold can reduce its stickiness.
