Product Description

Polyken 231 Military Grade Duct Tape, used for aerospace and military packaging, is a waterproof packaging and sealing duct tape that offers high performance for the most demanding applications. Polyken 231 can be effectively used for surface masking and media blast protection on cars and other vehicles. It's also highly recommended for seaming applications (like tarps) and bundling. With an adhesive that's stiffer than Nashua 357 tape, it offers superior bonding to flat surfaces like glass, and can withstand extreme temperatures.

The benefits of Polyken 231 duct tape include:

Conformability
High tensile strength
Resistance to moisture, abrasion and solvents
High tack
Powerful adhesion to most surfaces (including glass)
Ability to hold up in extreme temperatures
Crisp, straight tear

This Polyken duct tape is manufactured to conform to ASTM D-5486 Type IV Class 1 (which supersedes PPP-T-60D & E Type IV, Class 1) and to DPM 871-3.

Note: Polyken 231 is not ideally suited to irregular or uneven surfaces.

Question & Answers

[ viewing questions 1 through 3 of 3 total ]

Molly Ahumada Oct 21, 2022

QUESTION: Would this tape work well on vinyl/Naugahyde barstools that have split open?

ANSWER: Yes, you can use Polyken 231 for temporary repair of vinyl tears. However, many seating surfaces have accumulated oils, detergents, polishes, and miscellaneous other surfactants that will prevent pressure-sensitive adhesive tapes from forming a bond. Please try testing the surface with any available comparable adhesive tape (masking, duct, etc.) prior to purchasing this product to see if this could possibly work for you. If that other tape does not adhere you can try cleaning the substrate first with a damp cloth and then allowing to dry completely. If it still does not stick, then you might need one of the liquid seat repair products available on the market instead Thank you.

Customer Nov 28, 2017

QUESTION: Is the surface of this tape a dull olive drab or shiny?

ANSWER: It's a polyethylene-coated cloth duct tape so would be shiny unlike a matte vinyl-coated cloth gaffers tape. Thank you.

Customer May 13, 2017

QUESTION: Where is it made?

ANSWER: Polyken/Berry Plastics makes this tape in Franklin, Kentucky.
