Product Description

When you need a high-quality gaffers tape, choose Polyken 510 premium-grade gaffers tape. This vinyl-coated tape has a heavy-duty design and offers flexibility and moisture resistance for a wide range of applications. Polyken 510 is a high tack tape with premium-grade adhesion. The non-reflective matte cloth backing is low gloss and waterproof, so it's ideal for the outdoors, where weather and temperature are important factors. This gaffers tape offers a softer adhesive over other brands, so it works well when used on carpeting. We also carry Polyken 510-Neon for high-visibility requirements.

  • Wrapping and bundling of wire, metals and plastics
  • Vinyl school bus seat repair
  • Mark lines on classroom floor
  • Roller derby track set-up
  • Solidifies DIY projects
  • Moisture and dust-proof sealing of equipment cases and film canisters
  • Fencing foil tip tape (or point tape)

Features & Benefits

  • Vinyl-coated waterproof cloth backing
  • Extremely flexible
  • High tack and superior adhesion
  • Non-reflective backing; low gloss

Special Order Policies

  • Special orders are non-returnable (and non-cancelable if materials have been already ordered or cut before the cancellation request was received).
  • Special order sizes often ship direct from our supplier so will not arrive together with stocked products.

Special Order Minimums

  • Minimum requirements apply because a size may be non-stock or if special setup is required to cut rolls to your desired custom width.
  • Minimum Quantities: If a particular size has a minimum item requirement, please only order that size in multiples of that minimum (e.g. if the minimum is 12, then use multiples like 12, 24, 36, etc).

QUESTION: Is this tape waterproof from hurricane water
ANSWER: While gaffers tape is generally water-resistant, it's not truly waterproof and typically will only hold up outdoors for short time frames. If there is any gapping in the edges of the tape when it is applied the adhesive will degrade once water seeps underneath the edges and comes into contact with the adhesive. The vinyl-coated cloth backing of the tape is waterproof, but not the adhesive itself.

QUESTION: Is it a cloth tape like PRO GAFFERS TAPE??
ANSWER: Yes, Polyken’s 510 gaffers product is vinyl-coated cloth, just like Pro Tapes Pro-Gaff. Thank you.

I am the purchaser for various markets, Unfortunately I can't answer this because it was shipped directly to one of our warehouses. They did not complain about your product so that's a great sign. : )

Love the way the tape "gives" a bit.
Polyken 510 Premium Grade Gaffers Tape
I use gaff tape to decorate hula hoops. I like the way it gives a bit around the tubing for a wrinkle free finish. :)
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
The cut level indicates how many grams of cutting load a glove can withstand from a sharp blade before being penetrated.
Lower gauge gloves are heavier - have thicker construction, fewer stiches knitted per inch and offer less dexterity.
Higher gauge gloves are lighter - have thinner/finer construction, more stitches knitted per inch and offer more dexterity.
Gloves offered typically runs from 7 to 18 (12 and 13 are in the middle of the scale).
