A Tape for the Toughest Jobs Originally developed for heating, ventilation and air conditioning (HVAC) applications, duct tape is used today in a variety of maintenance, repair and construction settings. 3M™ Super Duty Duct Tape DT17 is considered the strongest 3M duct tape for jobs where the thickest tape is necessary. It can be applied in temperatures as low as 40°F and used in temperatures as high as 150°F for up to 30 minutes. Despite being the thickest 3M duct tape, the polyethylene backing can be torn from the roll by hand to stick instantly. It bonds firmly to many surfaces including plastic, glass and sealed concrete. It is ideal for jobs requiring strength, wear resistance or protection of covered surfaces. This tape is available exclusively in black. Recommended Applications Abrasion resistance Protecting against light sandblast overspray Patching Bundling Reinforcing Taping/splicing insulation Capping pipe Securing conduit ends Temporary repair Hanging poly (polyethylene drapes) Built to Stick 3M’s family of rugged cloth and duct tapes adheres to most surfaces for applications ranging from bundling to moisture proofing, sealing to splicing, reinforcing to hanging poly drapes. Available in a variety of thicknesses and strengths, these tapes are known best for their hand tearability, high tensile strength and conformability.
