Product Description

Scotch General Purpose Cloth Duct Tape 393 features a polyethylene coated cloth backing with a rubber adhesive used primarily in moisture-proofing and sealing. The backing offers a good vapor barrier to prolong tape bond and high tensile strength for demanding applications.

From the Manufacturer

Scotch® General Purpose Cloth Duct Tape 393 Silver provides high tensile strength for demanding applications and is a high performance tape for demanding use including sealing, bundling, marking, and temporary repairs across a range of industries. Its high-tack rubber adhesive sticks on contact to metal, glass, plastic, sealed concrete and more. The water-resistant polyethylene coating seals well in moist and humid environments, prolonging tape bond. It tears easily from the roll by hand and the cloth scrim helps guide straight horizontal and vertical tears while adding strength. The tape conforms to contours and irregular surfaces for water proofing, bundling, tying, sealing, and protecting in industries such as entertainment, , metal working, manufacturing facilities, and general industrial. This tape can be used effectively to reduce noise transmission when used as a flexible connector, seal fiberglass insulation or to cover thermal insulation, serve as a waterproof covering over pipe insulation, and many general purpose applications.

How to Choose the Right Duct Tape
One of the most important points to think about when choosing a duct tape is how it is going to be used. When it comes to choosing a 3M™ Duct Tape that meets the need for a particular job, consider the following: Performance Plus and Outdoor ing Tapes are best in class tapes for indoor/outdoor use, offering clean removal and long term weatherability. Extra Heavy Duty, Heavy Duty, and Multi Purpose duct tapes provide reliable performance for demanding contractor, MRO and industrial job site applications. And General Purpose duct tapes offer cost-effective options for general and lighter duty applications such as bundling, sealing, holding, and identifying.

Strength, moisture resistance, abrasion resistance, heat resistance, and clean removal impact the effectiveness of any duct tape. Two of three key factors that determine these factors are backing and adhesive. The thicker the backing, the greater tensile strength (the resistance to breaking under tension), moisture, and abrasion resistance provided. A rubber-based or synthetic rubber adhesive provides instant stick, a strong bond, and long-lasting hold, even in moist conditions. Lastly, the distinctive cloth scrim, laminated between the backing and the adhesive, adds additional strength and also helps guide straight, horizontal and vertical tearing.

One last and often overlooked fact about tapes in general, is that they all need to be stored correctly and they all have a shelf life. Weak adhesion, lifting, curling, and breakage are more often than not, attributable to age or improperly stored tape, as sed to quality. In all cases, care should be taken to read all product information thoroughly. In particular, the tape's specifications should be weighed against the task at hand to ensure successful, cost-effective outcomes.
