Tape Logic Duct Tape

Tape Logic™ duct tape is a fabric-backed adhesive usually coated with polyurethane for increased durability. It works well for packing and for industrial applications and is available in an array of colors and sizes to suit most needs. Choose from a variety of duct tape options and other office supplies like gaffers tape or glue at Staples®.

Reasons to Choose Tape Logic Duct Tape for Home or Office Use
Duct tape is an extremely versatile product that is durable yet easy to tear. To receive the label as duct tape, it must undergo and pass a series of tests for strength, durability, and composition. It is also tremendously malleable, which means it sticks to uneven surfaces. Use it as a fastener in place of nails to eliminate holes and to bind and insulate spliced wires, keeping them separated for safety. Line the seams of metal and plastic storage bins with the adhesive to prevent moisture from getting in. Use it in crafts to make clothing, purses, flowers, and a variety of other items. The cloth tape does not leave a residue when removed, so it won’t damage most surfaces.

Possibilities for Tape Logic Duct Tape
Before purchasing this adhesive, consider the use. Duct tape comes in many different varieties to suit a broad range of projects. Choose a wide product to cover large areas, or opt for a thin version to hold small wires together and to make the application less noticeable. Apply matching colors of the adhesive to walls, furniture, and other mediums to help it blend in. Users should also consider the thickness of the design. Nine mil products work well for general applications including on cardboard, wiring, and wood, while the 10 and 11 mil adhesive is ideal for industrial applications, like securing carpet to concrete. Purchase in multi packs to ensure there are plenty of extras on hand to complete larger tasks or get it by the piece as needed to save money.

How Is Tape Logic Duct Tape Different From Other Adhesives?
Regular adhesives, like glue, require a physical change in order to stick to each other. The stickiness with cloth tape and duct tape works by using a pressure-sensitive adhesive that attracts two surfaces together. The molecules in this product do not change.

Can You Use Tape Logic Duct Tape Outdoors?
Traditional cloth duct tape works well in humid and moist conditions without breaking down or losing its stickiness. Gaffers tape works on both indoor and outdoor applications. It also comes in fluorescent shades to make it easier to locate, especially in the outdoors.

What’s the Difference Between Tape Logic Duct Tape and Electrical Tape?
Constructed with a woven cloth and coated with a high-tack adhesive, duct tape works well when you need thin insulation, while electrical tape provides maximum insulation on electrical cords and wires to prevent arcs. The electrical adhesive stands up well to a variety of adverse weather conditions with its stretchy, PVC vinyl makeup. It usually comes in black only, but occasionally is available in other wire colors like red, green, and yellow to match existing wiring.
