Intertape 82842 Duct Tape 2 in 11 Mil Black Polyethylene

Product Description

The INTERTAPE 82842 is a black polyethylene foam duct tape designed for wrapping, sealing, and general-purpose applications in HVAC, construction, and mechanical trades. The tape measures 2 inches wide and 11 mil thick, providing a durable, conformable build suited to irregular surfaces and duct assemblies. A rubber adhesive backing delivers a tensile strength of 20 pounds per inch, creating a firm bond on a range of substrates. Licensed contractors and trade technicians working to code-compliant installation standards will find this tape suitable for jobs requiring recognized certifications and consistent performance across temperature ranges from 32 degrees F to 180 degrees F.

This tape is used in residential and light commercial HVAC duct wrapping, insulation bundling, and mechanical repair applications. The Series AC36 designation covers roll lengths in the 36 to 71.9 yard range. Its rubber adhesive and polyethylene foam construction make it appropriate for applications where flexibility and surface conformance matter, such as wrapping ductwork, securing insulation, or patching vapor barriers. It meets BOCA Code, HUD Code, L.A. County Code, and UL 723 standards, making it a compliant choice on regulated job sites.

Key Features

• 11 mil thickness provides durability and conformability on curved or uneven surfaces
• Rubber adhesive with 20 lb per inch tensile strength for a firm, lasting bond
• Black polyethylene foam construction resists moisture and minor abrasion
• Operating temperature range of 32 degrees F to 180 degrees F suits HVAC environments
• Meets BOCA Code, HUD Code, L.A. County Code, and UL 723 for code-compliant installs

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement and general-purpose duct tape suitable for residential and commercial HVAC duct wrapping, insulation securing, and mechanical sealing tasks where polyethylene foam tape meeting UL 723 is specified.

Installation Notes

This tape is typically applied by HVAC technicians and sheet metal workers during duct assembly, insulation wrap, or repair work. Clean and dry the substrate before application to ensure full adhesive contact. Follow applicable mechanical and building codes, including BOCA and HUD requirements, when using tape as part of a code-inspected installation. Avoid applying below 32 degrees F, as adhesive performance may be reduced at lower temperatures.
