Recycled Cloth Duct Tape

*Custom options are available, including:
Width, length, total thickness, color, printing, core size, packaging, and branding.

Fabric-Reinforced Construction

The fabric backing provides reinforcement for everyday repair, bundling, sealing, maintenance, and general-purpose fixing applications.

Hot Melt Adhesive for Reliable Bonding

Recycled Cloth Duct Tape uses a hot melt adhesive designed to provide reliable bonding for common repair, sealing, and fixing applications.

Defined Technical Performance

With a total thickness of 170 μm, initial tack of ≥21#, peel adhesion of ≥9 N/in, and tensile strength of ≥80 N/in, the tape provides clearly defined performance for product evaluation and application selection.

Practical Multi-Purpose Use

Designed for DIY repair, bundling, sealing, maintenance, and general-purpose fixing, the tape provides a practical recycled-content option for everyday cloth duct tape applications.

≥30% Recycled Content

Recycled Cloth Duct Tape contains ≥30% recycled content, providing a measurable recycled-material option for customers looking to reduce the use of virgin plastics.

Recycled PE (RPE) Coating

Recycled polyethylene is incorporated into the PE coating layer, helping reduce reliance on virgin PE in the tape construction.

Recycled-Content Claim in Line with ISO 14021

The ≥30% recycled-content claim is stated in line with ISO 14021 requirements for environmental claims and supporting evaluation and documentation.

Reduced Reliance on Virgin Plastics

By incorporating recycled polyethylene into the coating layer, the tape reduces the amount of virgin plastic required in its material structure.

Supporting Circular Material Use

The use of recycled PE helps return recovered plastic material to productive use and supports broader circular-material strategies.

The primary difference is the material composition of the PE coating.

Recycled Cloth Duct Tape incorporates recycled polyethylene into this layer, reducing reliance on virgin PE while remaining designed for conventional repair, sealing, bundling, and fixing applications.

The correct tape should be selected according to the actual application rather than recycled content alone.

Consider:

• What is being repaired, sealed, or fixed
• The surface material
• The required holding and adhesion performance
• How long the tape needs to remain in place
• The actual environmental and service conditions
• Whether recycled-content documentation is required

For applications with specific requirements for adhesion, tensile strength, temperature resistance, water resistance, outdoor durability, or residue-free removal, the applicable technical specification should be reviewed before use.

Recycled content is one part of the tape construction and should not be used alone to predict finished-product performance.

Performance can also depend on:

• Fabric reinforcement
• PE coating construction
• Adhesive system
• Total thickness
• Adhesion
• Tensile strength
• Substrate
• Application conditions

For applications with defined technical requirements, evaluate the actual product specification and test the tape under intended use conditions.

Recycled content describes the use of recovered material in manufacturing the tape.

Recyclability describes whether the finished tape can be collected and processed through an appropriate recycling system after use.

Because cloth duct tape combines fabric, polyethylene coating, and adhesive, the use of recycled PE does not automatically mean that the finished tape is recyclable.

Recycled content and end-of-life recyclability should therefore be evaluated separately.

For applications where Recycled Cloth Duct Tape becomes part of a packaging system, recycled-content requirements under the EU Packaging and Packaging Waste Regulation (PPWR) should be assessed according to the applicable packaging category and recycled-material source.

Specific PPWR compliance should be evaluated at the relevant packaging level and should not be inferred solely from the tape's ≥30% recycled-content claim.

• Make sure the application surface is clean and dry.
• Cut the required length of tape.
• Position the tape over the repair, sealing, bundling, or fixing area.
• Apply firm and even pressure across the tape.
• Smooth the tape to ensure good contact with the substrate.
• Test under actual application conditions where specific performance is required.
