Duct SKS Tape Silver

Duct tape, also called cloth tape, is a long-lasting adhesive tape that can be easily torn by hand.

It’s suitable for indoor and outdoor use thanks to its strength and water resistance. It’s available in various widths, lengths, and colors – with the most common colors being black, silver, and clear. There’s even duct tape that glows in the dark, which is useful for crafts, Halloween decorations, or locating items in dark settings. As well as this, there’s double-sided duct tape which is coated in adhesive on both sides. This is ideal for sticking two objects or surfaces together without making holes or the tape visible.

Description

It was originally called duck tape because during World War II the US military needed a waterproof tape to keep moisture out of ammunition cases. Johnson & Johnson manufactured the tape and, because of its water resistance which emulates water off a duck’s back, it was referred to as ‘duck’ tape.

Application Field

After the war, it was realised that duct tape is great for sealing joints in heating and air conditioning duct work. That’s when the colour changed from army green to the silver colour most commonly produced today.

Duct tape has now become multipurpose and is used for general sealing, patching holes, packing boxes and repairs. Some duct tape can also stick to rough and uneven indoor and outdoor surfaces such as wood, stone, plaster, brick and metal.

As well as these common uses, there are some other interesting applications for duct tape – some of these are listed below:

Health and fitness

  •   During exercise, duct tape can be applied to blisters and sores for protection.
  •  To help improve accuracy when using a punching bag, stick squares of duct tape on as markers.
  •   Duct tape can be used for a genuine Royal Marine exercise. Simply hold a large roll of duct tape out to one side until it’s impossible to do it any longer, and then repeat with the other arm.

Home repair

  • If a screen is broken, keep insects out by covering any holes with duct tape until it’s been fixed or replaced.
  • Before removing a broken pane of window glass, criss-cross duct tape over the pane to help prevent it falling apart when being replaced.

Survivalist

  • If there isn’t a handy parachute cord available, lengths of twisted duct tape can be used as a cord or rope in an emergency. Twisting the duct tape like this can also make a clothesline.
  • Preserve food by resealing packets or cans with duct tape.
  • In an emergency, duct tape can be used to make a sling, secure a splint, bandage a   wound, or wrap a sprained ankle.
