Polyken 510 Premium Grade Gaffers Tape is a heavy duty vinyl-coated tape with a waterproof, low gloss, non-reflective cloth backing. Applications include protecting and anchoring wiring in the photography and film industry; bookbinding; vinyl bus seat repair tape; wrapping or bundling of wire, metals, and plastics; protecting and anchoring electrical wiring; and moisture and dust-proof sealing of equipment cases and film canisters. Low VOC (Volatile Organic Compounds) - complies with VOC requirements of SCAQMD Rule 1168. Also contributes toward satisfying EQ Credit 4.1 (Low Emitting Materials Adhesives & Sealants) under LEED®. Also referred to as Nashua 510 Gaffers Tape (Polyken and Nashua are both sub-brands of Berry Plastics/Covalence Adhesives).
Polyken 510 Gaffers Tape is designed for exterior weather and temperature applications.
- Heavy-duty vinyl coated waterproof cloth backing with excellent flexibility.
- High tack tape with excellent adhesion for superior performance.
- Non-reflective backing for low gloss.
- Retains flexibility and conformability in both low and high temperature applications.
- Clean removal adhesive.
- High thread count for a clean, straight tear.
Polyken 510 has the smoothest finish of any gaffers tape we carry. It also has a softer adhesive than most other gaffers tapes so it adheres better to carpets. Polyken has recently discontinued dark blue and green in the 510 and limited inventory remains. If you are looking for blue, green, olive drab or burgundy/maroon gaffers tape please see Pro Tapes Pro-Gaff tape. Also please note that Polyken comes to our converter in log roll format (that is why non-standard widths can be offered) and because of that rolls will ship on plain white cores (see the alternative images for this product to view photos of the conversion process).

** 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.

Now you can BUILD YOUR OWN CASE with a mix of colors and still get full case pricing (however a handling charge of $4 is applied for the first 2 colors in the case and then 50 cents for each additional color over 2). If you want to mix and match colors within a case, please fill in your roll or case 'Quantity' and then select 'Mixed Colors in a Case' for your 'Color' choice. You will specify the color breakdown after you click 'Add to Cart'.
