Constructed of polyethylene film laminated to cloth with a natural rubber adhesive, this very thick and strong tape resists curling and tears off the roll cleanly. 3M™ Super Duty Duct Tape DT17 is designed to provide a maximum-strength, long-lasting solution for even the most demanding heavy-duty applications. It instantly grips many surfaces including metal, glass, plastic and sealed concrete.
A Tape for the Toughest Jobs
Originally developed for heating, ventilation and air conditioning (HVAC) applications, duct tape is used today in a variety of maintenance, repair and construction settings. 3M™ Super Duty Duct Tape DT17 is considered the strongest 3M duct tape for jobs where the thickest tape is necessary. It can be applied in temperatures as low as 40°F and used in temperatures as high as 150°F for up to 30 minutes. Despite being the thickest 3M duct tape, the polyethylene backing can be torn from the roll by hand to stick instantly. It bonds firmly to many surfaces including plastic, glass and sealed concrete. It is ideal for jobs requiring strength, wear resistance or protection of covered surfaces. This tape is available exclusively in black.
