Multipurpose, Sticky and Strong the Duct tape is a waterproof tape useful to seal jars, fix a tent, shoes or PVC pipes.

Duct Tape is commonly used in situations that require a strong, flexible, and very sticky tape.

Duct Tape is generally silvery grey in colour, but also available in black or other colours on request

How is Duct Tape made?

Duct tape is typically made from three different layers. The top layer, which is exposed, is made from a plastic called polythene. Underneath that, there’s a middle layer made of fabric, while the bottom layer is a rubber-based glue.  To make duct tape, the fabric is covered in melted polythene, which protects it from moisture and erosion. The polythene coating is flexible enough to allow the tape to stick to uneven or rough surfaces.  Unlike other tapes, the fabric backing gives duct tape strength while still allowing it to be easily torn by hand.

Bonus Use:  Help out on a lunar mission

One of the more impressive uses of duct tape came in 1970, during the famous Apollo 13 lunar mission that went awry.  During the mission, two oxygen tanks exploded.  The explosion forced the astronauts to move into the spacecraft's lunar module, where carbon dioxide levels rose precipitously.  The grew used Duct Tape to patch together a CO2 filtering system featuring an incompatible round hole and square filter.
