Product Description

Nashua 357 Premium Grade Duct Tape, which Nashua now calls 357 Premium 13 mil Duct Tape, is the industry standard duct tape professional contractors choose when they need a consistent, trouble-free product. Its polyethylene-coated cloth has high tensile strength, a clean release from the roll that resists delamination, a straight tear and resistance to curling. The thick natural rubber adhesive grips aggressively, even on very rough or dirty surfaces, and conforms to curves and corners. Nashua 357 resists moisture, solvents, chemicals, abrasion and punctures, works indoors and outdoors, has VOC under 1 g/L and can contribute toward satisfying EQ Credit 4.1 under LEED®.

Nashua 357 is used for HVAC and refrigeration, sealing seams and joints in metal air handling systems, asbestos abatement and securing protective clothing, sand and media blasting, flexible duct manufacturing, waterproof repairs, heavy-duty packaging and bundling, seaming poly sheeting and tarps, underlayment, plastering and motorsports. It is water resistant but not made for continuous submersion, and it does not bond well to kraft-faced insulation, where an acrylic foil tape is the better choice. It has no UV inhibitors; black holds up best outdoors. Nashua 357 arrives at our converter in log roll format, so FindTape can offer non-standard widths; these rolls usually ship on plain white cores.

Nashua 357 was featured in four MythBusters duct tape episodes, including the "Duct Tape Hour". It offers close to the strength of Gorilla tape yet is easier to work with, since it is 13 mils thick instead of 17 mils.

Special Order Policies

  • Special orders are non-returnable (and non-cancelable if materials have been already ordered or cut before the cancellation request was received).
  • Special order sizes often ship direct from our supplier so will not arrive together with stocked products.

Special Order Minimums

  • Minimum requirements apply because a size may be non-stock or if special setup is required to cut rolls to your desired custom width.
  • Minimum Quantities: If a particular size has a minimum item requirement, please only order that size in multiples of that minimum (e.g. if the minimum is 12, then use multiples like 12, 24, 36, etc).

User Reviews

Made in the USA
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
The cut level indicates how many grams of cutting load a glove can withstand from a sharp blade before being penetrated.
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).
