Product Description

Polyken 108FR Flame Retardant Double-Sided Cloth Carpet Tape is a double-sided (AKA double-coated) cloth tape with flame retardant synthetic rubber adhesive. It is designed with a flame retardant cotton cloth and synthetic adhesive system that complies with F.A.R. 25.853(a). Applications for Polyken 108 Double-Coated Carpet Tape include carpet installation on interior floors and on stairs of aircraft. It is used by companies such as Boeing, Douglas, Lockheed, major national and international airlines, as well as refurbishers. Polyken 108PE and Polyken 108FR is the same as Polyken 108 and just refers to the fact that the rolls ship with a PE (Polyethylene) release liner and is FR (Flame Retardant). Polyken 108FR natural rolls are cut from logs so various widths are available for purchase (the logs ship on standard Polyken cores). Polyken 108FR black comes pre-slit from Polyken so only the 2-inch wide size is available (Polyken ships them on cores labeled as Polyken 108).

Features & Benefits

  • Repositionable adhesive for easy installation.
  • Good strength and elongation for easy tear, application, and removal.
  • Conformable and moisture resistant.
  • Clean removal from most surfaces (AKA flame retardant double-sided gaffers tape).
  • Aggressive bond for secure hold.
  • Meets requirements for use by major aircraft manufacturers as well as major airlines.
Made in the U.S.

Nominal Tape Widths vs Actual Widths

Nominal vs. Actual Widths Zoom In

Tape rolls are cut to standard tape industry metric widths of approx. 24mm per 1-inch of nominal width ordered. As a result ACTUAL tape widths are normally 5% narrower than the NOMINAL width shown in inches. Examples:

  • 1" Nominal width = 15/16" (24mm) Actual width
  • 2" Nominal width = 1-7/8" (48mm) Actual width
  • 3" Nominal width = 2-13/16" (72mm) Actual width

Note that tape rolls are NOT guaranteed to be splice-free.

Randall C. Jul 09, 2019
QUESTION: I am trying to figure out the difference between the black and the white Polyken 108FR Flame Retardant Double Coated Cloth Carpet Tape. You mention in your description that Polyken 108FR black comes pre-slit from Polyken so only the 2-inch wide size is available. I'm not understanding what 'pre-slit' is telling me when compared to the white? Which I assume is NOT pre-slit? Could you clarify what that means? I also noticed the black is substantially more expensive?thanks for any clarification you wish to offer.
ANSWER: Our Polyken converter gets the natural colored rolls in log roll format (approximately 60 inches wide) so they cut those themselves to width on lathe. That is why they can offer non-standard widths such as 4 inches (96mm) wide instead of just the standard 2 inches (48mm) wide that comes pre-slit to width from Polyken.

User Reviews

Polyken 108FR Flame Retardant Double-Sided Cloth Carpet Tape
Made in the USA
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.
Thickness, AKA caliper or gauge, refers to the distance from one surface of a tape backing, or adhesive, to the other.
1 mil = 1/1000 of an inch
Examples: 1/16 inch = 62.5 mils; 1/32 inch = 31.25 mils
