Waterproof Duct Tape: the best solution for outdoor repairing needs

A waterproof duct tape should be in the toolbox and in the drawer of every house. This little tape is indeed an incredible tool for emergency repairs, mounting broken parts of almost everything, sealing holes and leaks. When you add waterproof properties, duct tape becomes all-powerful, as it can be used both indoor and outdoor. Let’s discover more about waterproof duct tape and the products we can offer you.

In this article we are going to go over the following topics:

Waterproof duct tape: from the backing to the adhesive

Let’s start from the basics with some hints of tape engineering. Where do waterproof duct tape’s properties come from?

The waterproof property of duct tape is given by the composition of the backing. The backing is made with a double layer: the first is made up of a polyethylene film band, an excellent barrier against water infiltration and guarantee of elasticity; the second is a fabric mesh characterized by very high resistance to tearing.

The adhesive is made with a hot-melt glue that guarantees excellent holding power, even in harsh conditions for a prolonged time. You know that sticky, strong, and tough glue that resists almost everything? That is hot-melt adhesive, the perfect solution for difficult applications.

Applications of waterproof duct tape: some examples

For all these reasons, waterproof duct tape is ideal for a series of outdoor and semi-permanent applications:

Repair of damaged car and motorcycle components: your rearview mirror is broken and detaching? The bumper of your car is cracked? With waterproof duct tape, you can fix them immediately, as you can fix any other damaged or detaching part. Thanks to the tape’s resistance to weather conditions, you do not even need to worry about exposing the repaired area to rain, sun and cold.

Repair of holes in pipes and pipelines, for temporary plugging of small water leaks: waterproof duct tape is the perfect ally in your garden and your kitchen. The tape does not fear water and can be used to seal small leaks and holes in ducts, pipes, watering cans, etc.

Packaging intended for long container journeys exposed to different climatic conditions: if you have to pack a box in a way you are sure it will not open, even after a long journey across difficult climates (especially tropical climates), waterproof duct tape is the solution, again. Its sealing power is exceptional and will lead the box safe to destination.
