Furthermore, black cloth insulation tape is easy to use and apply. Simply tear off the desired length of tape and wrap it around the area you wish to insulate. The strong adhesive backing will ensure that the tape stays in place, providing a secure and reliable seal. This ease of use makes black cloth insulation tape a convenient option for quick repairs and installations.

Mastic tape is the portion that composes the spongey center between the backing and the adhesive. If you need versatility with your projects, mastic tape is the way to go. You can find mastic that has vinyl backing, rubber backing, or no backing.

It has a very high adhesive level and sticks to most smooth surfaces quickly.
In 1845, a surgeon named Dr. Horace Day made the first crude surgical tape by combining India rubber, pine gum, turpentine, litharge (a yellow lead oxide), and turpentine extract of cayenne pepper and applying that mixture to strips of fabric. It was the first “rubber-based” adhesive and Dr. Day used it in his practice as a surgical plaster. Larger scale manufacturing of similar medical tapes began in 1874 by Robert Wood Johnson and George Seaburg in East Orange, NJ. That company would soon become the Johnson & Johnson Company we know today. Later in 1921, Earle Dickson who bought cotton for Johnson & Johnson noticed that the surgical tape kept falling off his wife Josephine’s fingers after cutting them in the kitchen. He fixed a piece of gauze to some cloth backed tape and the first Band-Aid ® was invented. It took almost 75 years from Dr. Day’s first crude tape until the early 1920’s when the first industrial tape application appeared. The application was electrical tape (although the adhesive was more of a cohesive film than the electrical tape we know today) to prevent wires from shorting. The second major industrial tape application was a result of the rise of the American automobile in the 1920’s. Two-toned automobiles were becoming popular and automakers needed a way to produce clean, sharp paint lines while using the new automatic paint spray gun. They started using the surgical tape that was available but the paint wicked through the cloth backing and caused defective paint jobs. Richard Drew, an engineer at Minnesota Mining and Manufacturing (3M) happened to be at a local body shop testing their WetorDry® brand sandpaper in 1925 and he saw the workers struggling to get clean paint lines. He went back to his lab and created a 2-inch wide crimp backed paper tape that became the first “masking tape” for painting. Jumping ahead to 1942 and World War II, Johnson & Johnson developed duct tape to seal canisters and repair equipment for the military. The tape was a basically a polyethylene coated cloth tape with good “quick stick” properties that made it easy to use in the field for emergency repairs. The world never looked back and duct tape can be found in almost any home or toolbox.



You can, but it’s not the best idea.
Despite its many benefits, Flex Tape is not without its limitations. While it can be used to fix a wide range of issues, it is not a permanent solution and may need to be replaced periodically. It is also not recommended for use on flexible materials or surfaces that constantly move or bend, as it may not adhere properly.



In addition to its durability, black cloth insulation tape is also highly versatile. With its strong adhesive backing, this tape can easily conform to irregular shapes and surfaces, providing a tight and secure seal. This makes it an excellent choice for wrapping and securing wires, cables, and other components in a variety of settings.

Polyethylene Rubber Tape, also known as PE rubber tape, is a type of adhesive tape that combines the properties of polyethylene and rubber to create a versatile and durable tape suitable for various applications. It is typically used for sealing, insulating, and protecting surfaces in industries such as plumbing, construction, electrical, and automotive.

A versatile tape that can be used for everything from sealing pipes and hoses to general waterproofing and electrical cable splicing.
