Cloth tape is versatile and widely used across industries for its strength and adaptability.
At Stylus Tapes, we supply high-quality cloth tapes for various industrial applications. Our extensive range ensures that you have the right tape for every professional need, whether for construction, entertainment, or general maintenance.
What is cloth tape?
Cloth tapes are heavy-duty and durable. They have a strong adhesive with a laminated or polycoated cloth backing. This composition allows them to adhere to numerous surfaces while being easily removable without leaving residue under certain conditions, time and applications. Cloth tapes are known for their durability and flexibility, making them ideal for various tasks.
Born out of necessity in 1845 by Dr. Horace Day, when the surgeon applied rubber adhesive to fabric strips, cloth tapes have been trusty for everyone since their invention.
Material and construction
Cloth tapes are crafted by weaving materials such as nylon, rayon, cotton, or polyester, providing a robust and flexible backing. Typically, these tapes are single-sided with adhesive, though double-sided versions exist for specialised uses.
The adhesive layer can be made from Natural rubber, Hot Melt,
- Natural Rubber adhesives are common for general-purpose applications due to their initial solid tack and ease of removal under certain conditions, time and applications.
- Hot Melt Adhesives offer an aggressive hi-tack adhesive suitable for a wide range of everyday general purpose applications..
The cloth backing allows for easy tearing by hand, making it convenient for quick applications and clean cuts.
What are the different types?
Understanding the types of cloth tapes will help you choose the right tape for your project or application. We stock:
- Economy grade cloth tapes: Ideal for basic applications, these tapes are cost-effective and ideal for everyday tasks where high performance is not critical.
- General-purpose cloth tapes: These are suitable for various general-purpose applications and are available in multiple colours and sizes to meet diverse needs.
- Industrial cloth tapes: Designed for heavy-duty applications, such as construction and agriculture, where extreme strength and durability are required.
- Premium cloth tapes: These tapes feature high-tack adhesive and are perfect for demanding tasks, offering superior durability and adherence.
- Render’s cloth tapes: Tailored for rendering and concreting, these tapes adhere well to rough and porous surfaces, ensuring reliable performance in challenging environments.
What is it used for?
Cloth tape is extremely versatile and lends itself to many applications. Common uses include:
- Entertainment industry: Used for securing cables, marking stage positions, and quick repairs.
- Construction: Ideal for joining drop sheets, securing temporary structures, masking during painting and plastering, and masking for abrasive sand blasting applications.
- Automotive: Used for bundling wires and cables, it provides a clean, organised look in vehicle interiors and engine compartments.
- General maintenance: Suitable for repair tasks, from patching equipment to reinforcing packaging.
How to apply and remove it?
Unlike other types of tape, it is designed to be ripped cleanly from the roll or strip and cut easily with scissors. The tape should be applied evenly and pressed firmly onto the surface. Use a wipe down blade or fingers to remove any air bubbles trapped underneath if necessary.
When it comes time to remove the cloth tape, simply peel it off the surface. Most cloth tape, particularly the more premium types of tape, will leave no residue. If you do have minor adhesive left, you can clean it off with and adhesive remover.
Safety guidelines
While cloth tape is generally safe for use, consider these precautions:
- Test on a small area before applying to delicate surfaces to ensure it does not cause damage.
Is cloth tape waterproof?
While not 100% waterproof, most types of cloth tape are designed to be water-resistant. Many kinds of cloth tape, particularly those used in outdoor applications or harsh environments, do have a degree of water resistance.
Some types of specialty cloth tape, such as fabric tape, are waterproof, which makes them suitable for the various demands of industrial applications.
How to choose the right cloth tape?
There are three key factors to consider when choosing cloth tape for your applications.
- Adhesive strength: For high-demand applications, choose tapes with strong adhesive properties. Match the tape’s material to your needs, whether you require elasticity or a particular finish.
- Environment: Consider where the tape will be used, indoors or outdoors, and choose tapes with appropriate resistance properties.
