It has a very high adhesive level and sticks to most smooth surfaces quickly.
Common Varieties and Their Uses
Adhesives are either natural or synthetic and come in three different types: acrylic-based, silicone-based and rubber-based. Butyl tape is a synthetic rubber adhesive manufactured to upgrade natural rubber adhesives. Compared with its natural counterpart, butyl tape is less sensitive to varying temperatures and maintains its stickiness at lower temperatures than traditional rubber adhesives.
Technical information
On the other hand, duct tape is a cloth-backed pressure-sensitive tape made of a thin polyethylene-coated cloth with fibers and a rubber-based adhesive on the other. This composition makes duct tape extremely durable, water-resistant, and great for a wide range of applications.
