'Polyken 767UV' has been discontinued.

Product Description

Polyken 767UV UV-Resistant Shrink Wrap Tape is a white, pinked-edge polyethylene film tape with a high-tack synthetic rubber adhesive, made by Vybond for seaming and patching shrink wrap and other outdoor poly. Its PE film backing resists UV for short-term outdoor exposure of up to 28 days, is durable and solvent resistant, and has low stretch for a consistent bond. The pinked (serrated) edges tear cleanly by hand, so there is no need for a knife on the job.

767UV is used to seam and patch shrink wrap for indoor and outdoor storage of boats, RVs and other equipment, and Vybond specifies it for boat, pontoon and modular home manufacturers who shrink wrap units for transport. The adhesive grabs quickly, has excellent shear strength and is repositionable with clean removal from many surfaces. It bonds well to plastic, masonry, vinyl, stucco and metal, so it is also used for short-term outdoor masking for stucco and paint, protecting window and door frames, seaming and patching poly sheeting and tarps, greenhouse repair, agricultural bagging and outdoor wire hold-down. It is low VOC and contains no heavy metals such as lead or chromium. Always test first on painted or varnished surfaces before taping shrink wrap edges to a hull. Polyken 767UV replaces our white serrated-edge Polyken 824 shrink wrap tape.

Instructions

  1. Apply at 30 to 160°F to clean, dry surfaces.
  2. Test first on painted or varnished surfaces, such as boat hulls, before taping shrink wrap edges to them.
  3. Tear the tape to length along the pinked edge by hand; no cutting is needed.
  4. Press the tape down firmly over the seam or patch, smoothing out wrinkles so the edges are fully sealed.
  5. For outdoor masking, remove the tape within 28 days.
  6. Store rolls at 60 to 80°F and 40 to 60% relative humidity, and use within 24 months of manufacture.

Question & Answers

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).
