Cloth Tapes, Duct Tapes and Gaffer Tapes

tesa has a broad range of cloth adhesive tapes to meet the demands of many varied applications in Industrial applications and in the Home and Office.

We split the types of cloth tapes into different categories based on their construction.

The key features of a cloth tape are:
1. The mesh count of the backing – the higher the mesh count, the higher the tensile strength.

2. The type of coating: premium cloth tapes and speciality cloth tapes are coated acrylic paste coating – sometimes up to 3 times which provides superior resistance to the effects of weathering and UV light.

3. Adhesive type: natural rubber adhesives are used on all the types of tape. However, for speciality cloth tapes the adhesive is ‘thermoset’ i.e. it is highly cross-linked which gives it a higher temperature resistance.
