Polyken 231 Military Grade Duct Tape is a high performance, waterproof packaging and sealing duct tape used for military and aerospace packaging and other demanding applications. It can also be used for media blast protection & surface masking and for other challenging repair, bundling and seaming applications. Polyken 231 Duct Tape benefits include: high tensile strength; extremely conformable; crisp, straight tear; moisture, solvent & abrasion resistant; and has aggressive adhesion to most surfaces. It is manufactured to conform to ASTM Specification D-5486 Type IV, Class 1 (supersedes US Military Mil Spec PPP-T-60E and PPP-T-60D) and
UK Defense Standard 81-25. Also please note that Polyken 231 comes to our converter in jumbo log roll format (that is why non-standard widths can be offered) and because of that rolls will ship on plain white cores.

** special order sizes are not returnable (and non-cancelable if material has been ordered or cut before the cancellation request was made)
** minimum requirements are due to the fact that the product size is non-stock or special setup is required to cut to that width
** if a particular size has a minimum item requirement please only purchase that size in multiples of that minimum, e.g. if the minimum is 12 then purchase as 12, 24, 36, etc.
hot melt rubber (synthetic)
Offers the widest range of application flexibility available. Exhibits excellent processing performance whether manually or automatically applied. Has superior tensile strength, adhesion properties and holding force which ensures consistent, reliable seals. Hot melt adhesive will bond faster to a surface which is referred to as quick-grab or quick-stick. It typically has higher tack (will feel stickier to the touch), but is also softer. It has lower heat resistance, shear resistance, and sometimes UV resistance than an acrylic adhesive. NOTE: it is called hot melt because the adhesive is applied hot by the manufacturer and then hardens as it cools (you do not need to apply heat to the tape yourself).
natural rubber
Properties are similar to that of hot melt rubber, but natural rubber often holds where other adhesives won't (recycled fibers, dust, cold, heat and heavy loads). It provides good overall adhesion and moisture resistance.
acrylic
Offer excellent performance, especially for applications in temperatures less than 40°F and greater then 120°F. It provides excellent clarity, has high shear strength, is usually more permanent/durable even when exposed to moisture, and it ages well over extended periods in fluorescent and sunlight. Since it remains clear for the life of the application and does not yellow over time it is ideal for applications such as sealing white cartons. While it has good initial adhesion it does take 24-48 hours to cure and to achieve its maximum bond strength (has gradual adhesion buildup). Another difference between hot melt rubber and acrylic adhesive is if you fold tape over making the two adhesive sides touch the acrylic adhesive will remain attached to the carrier (e.g. paper, film) while a hot melt adhesive will stick to itself and pull off of the carrier. It is the best choice for clarity, UV resistance and aging characteristics.
silicone
Is great for extreme temperature applications since silicone adhesive can work in continuous operating temperatures from -100°F to 500°F. They also exhibit good chemical resistance, retain electrical properties, and remove cleanly with little or no residue.
zinc oxide
Zinc oxide based adhesive formula is a skin-friendly adhesive which is commonly used on sports medicine tapes.
