A Mighty Tape Trio to Tackle Tough Tasks

Able to resist curling and providing a consistent unwind, while being able to tear off the roll cleanly, the 3M™ DT Series duct tapes offer the ultimate in easy to use, handle and apply adhesives. Available in three different strength levels, the DT Series tape offers the ultimate adhesive that keeps duct tape simplified.

Of these three adhesive amigos, the DT8 version is an all-purpose tape designed to deliver instant high adhesion and maximum conformability. This is perfect for jobs in tight spaces, contoured surfaces, or simply just to quickly label an area. If you’re temporarily taping some molding together in a corner, for example, this would be the right tape for you.

Because it offers an ideal tensile strength for light-duty bonding, 3M DT8 tape is also a perfect solution for quick or temporary repairs, splicing, fast attachments, and poly abatements. For everything from construction to painting to sealing surfaces, DT8 is a fantastic option that can handle a wide variety of application.

For irregular surfaces or materials that are difficult to bond to, the DT11 Heavy Duty 3M tape offers adhesion for the most stubborn situations. Able to deliver an immediate bond, even on most plastics, DT11 duct tape is water resistant and comes with a polyethylene backing, able to easily resist wear and light abrasion for longer durations, making it an ideal option to secure temporary floor coverings.

Another use for DT11 tape is creating a water-resistant seal in containment applications, like when you’re sealing a pipe, or attaching heavy materials like a poly draping. If that wasn’t enough, it was also engineered with low-tack edges to keep your roll of tape clean throughout your worksite for the duration of the project.

For the toughest bonding battles you can think of, you can go straight to 3M DT17 Super Duty duct tape. Equipped with ultra-thick, water-resistant backing, DT17 tape is able to prevent wear and abrasion on any worksite, while still using an easy-to-tear design, so you can quickly make cuts by hand.

With its aggressive rubber adhesive, DT17 tape is able to bond instantly to multiple industrial surfaces, including metal, glass, plastic, and sealed concrete, making it a must-have on any worksite. DT17 is also an ideal way to repair and seam, while its extra-strength bundling helps protect metal parts and surfaces from unintended sandblast overspray.

When you’ve got a roll of DT17 tape in your toolbox, you get an adhesive that can provide superior strength to attack the most demanding applications.
