Please note: Polyken has discontinued its 824 product; please see Polyken 767UV UV-Resistant Shrink Wrap Tape as an alternative.
Product Description
Polyken 824 Shrink Wrap Tape is a custom white, serrated-edge version of Polyken 824 Original Red Baron multi-purpose polyethylene film tape. Our distributor has it made specially in white with serrated (pinked) edges that tear heavy film easily by hand, with no cutting needed. Its natural rubber adhesive has high tack, is repositionable and is specially designed to remove without residue, even after extended periods of exposure.
Polyken 824 handles outdoor exposure and moisture, resists solvents, conforms to rough surfaces and unwinds easily. Boaters use it to seam and patch shrink wrap on boats and cars, and marinas use shrink wrap tape to patch overheated spots and tape in zipper doors. Always test first with your specific paint or varnish before taping shrink wrap edges to a hull, and for longer-term marine storage see a preservation tape such as Patco 5400. It is also used for stucco and plaster masking and other outdoor masking, abatement work such as seaming poly sheeting and securing waste disposal bags, closing plastic on modular buildings, duct work, bundling and repairs.

Great experience
Polyken 824 Shrink Wrap Tape [Serrated Edges]
First time purchase. Came fast and product is exactly what I was looking for since I work in the modular industry and use this on the close off plastic. Will be back.

Works great outside
Polyken 824 Shrink Wrap Tape [Serrated Edges]
Works great splicing and fixing ends of shrinkwrap covers. We use it on boats and cars. Have to love the zipper like edges that let you tear the heavy film by hand rather than needing a knife to cut it - I've never found another tape that does that.
hot melt rubber (synthetic)
Offers the widest range of application flexibility available. Exhibits excellent processing performance whether manually or automatically applied. Has superior tensile strength, adhesion properties and holding force which ensures consistent, reliable seals. Hot melt adhesive will bond faster to a surface which is referred to as quick-grab or quick-stick. It typically has higher tack (will feel stickier to the touch), but is also softer. It has lower heat resistance, shear resistance, and sometimes UV resistance than an acrylic adhesive. NOTE: it is called hot melt because the adhesive is applied hot by the manufacturer and then hardens as it cools (you do not need to apply heat to the tape yourself).
natural rubber
Properties are similar to that of hot melt rubber, but natural rubber often holds where other adhesives won't (recycled fibers, dust, cold, heat and heavy loads). It provides good overall adhesion and moisture resistance.
acrylic
Offer excellent performance, especially for applications in temperatures less than 40°F and greater then 120°F. It provides excellent clarity, has high shear strength, is usually more permanent/durable even when exposed to moisture, and it ages well over extended periods in fluorescent and sunlight. Since it remains clear for the life of the application and does not yellow over time it is ideal for applications such as sealing white cartons. While it has good initial adhesion it does take 24-48 hours to cure and to achieve its maximum bond strength (has gradual adhesion buildup). Another difference between hot melt rubber and acrylic adhesive is if you fold tape over making the two adhesive sides touch the acrylic adhesive will remain attached to the carrier (e.g. paper, film) while a hot melt adhesive will stick to itself and pull off of the carrier. It is the best choice for clarity, UV resistance and aging characteristics.
silicone
Is great for extreme temperature applications since silicone adhesive can work in continuous operating temperatures from -100°F to 500°F. They also exhibit good chemical resistance, retain electrical properties, and remove cleanly with little or no residue.
zinc oxide
Zinc oxide based adhesive formula is a skin-friendly adhesive which is commonly used on sports medicine tapes.
Thickness, AKA caliper or gauge, refers to the distance from one surface of a tape backing, or adhesive, to the other.
1 mil = 1/1000 of an inch
Examples: 1/16 inch = 62.5 mils; 1/32 inch = 31.25 mils
Lower gauge gloves are heavier - have thicker construction, fewer stiches knitted per inch and offer less dexterity.
Higher gauge gloves are lighter - have thinner/finer construction, more stitches knitted per inch and offer more dexterity.
Gloves offered typically runs from 7 to 18 (12 and 13 are in the middle of the scale).
