Vybond 1086697 Black Duct Tape 12 Mil 1.88in X 180ft

Product Description

The VYBOND 1086697 is a 12 mil black duct tape built on a polyethylene-coated cloth backing with a rubber-based adhesive. At 12 mil total thickness, it delivers a tensile strength of 27 lb/in and an adhesion strength of 93 oz/in, making it a reliable choice for sealing, bundling, and patching applications in HVAC, mechanical, and general maintenance work. Each roll measures 1.88 inches wide by 180 feet long. The tape is manufactured in the USA and carries a 36-month shelf life when stored at stated conditions. It is intended for trade and professional use where a durable, heavy-body cloth tape is required.

This tape is suited for residential and light commercial HVAC ductwork, mechanical room repairs, insulation jacketing, and general trade maintenance. The application temperature range of 30 degrees F to 90 degrees F allows for installation in cool environments, including unheated spaces during shoulder seasons. Once applied, the tape performs continuously from 40 degrees F to 200 degrees F, supporting use on duct surfaces, equipment housings, and vapor barrier seams. HVAC technicians, sheet metal workers, and maintenance professionals are the primary installers.
