About Cloth Tape
Cloth Tapes are usually made from: polyester, cotton, nylon, rayon (both woven or non woven fabrics) with rubber, acrylic, or silicone adhesives on one side or both sides. Many manufacturers will add a coating to the cloth with materials such as PE (polyethylene), PTFE, rubber, silicone, or vinyl. These coatings give the tape more flexibility and make them durable, waterproof, fire-resistant or otherwise unique. Cloth Tape goes by a variety of names depending on the industry in which it is used. It is commonly referred to as Duct Tape, Gaffers Tape, Carpet Tape, Turf Tape, Athletic Tape, and Glass Cloth Tape.
Nonwoven fabric tapes are made of natural and/ or synthetic fibers (Polyester, polyethylene, polypropylene) that are interlocked mechanically, thermally or chemically. One of the best qualities of using nonwoven tapes is that they can be extremely durable. Nonwovens possess very versatile qualities like super absorbency, stretchability, strength, resilience, liquid repellency, softness to the touch, flame retardancy, bacterial barriers, filtering and sterility.
