What is the structural composition of Duct Tape?

Duct Tape is one of those items that everyone seems to have in their home but no one really knows what it is made of. In this blog post, we will explore the composition of Duct Tape and how it is made. Duct Tape is composed of four layers: an adhesive layer, a cloth scrim layer, a rubber backing layer, and a release liner. The adhesive layer is typically made of pressure-sensitive acrylic adhesive, while the cloth scrim layer is made of woven fabric such as cotton or polyester. The rubber backing layer provides strength and durability, while the release liner protects the adhesive until it is ready to be used.

What is the correct way to use Duct Tape?

The correct way to use Duct Tape is to apply anti-corrosion glue on the plastic tape and wrap the Duct Tape tightly to play the role of anti-corrosion insulation. There are two types of Duct Tape: inner tape and surface tape. Before using the Duct Tape, the pipe should be derusted and cleaned. After blowing and drying, the surface should be coated with a layer of anti-corrosion tape primer, and then the inner tape of the anti-corrosion tape should be wound spirally. After the inner tape is wrapped firmly, the outer tape of the anti-corrosion tape can be wound. The blanking of each round of the winding Duct Tape should be uniform. The general blanking width is 5mm, and the blanking of the tape joint is 100~150mm. In order to strengthen the anti-corrosion requirements, two or three layers of inner tape can be used, and then a layer of outer tape can be wrapped . The anti-corrosion tape is convenient for construction, high in work efficiency, and non-polluting, but its mechanical strength is poor and it is easy to be damaged. It has been applied in pipeline anti-corrosion engineering.
