Product Description

Polyken 510 Premium-Grade Gaffers Tape is a heavy-duty gaffer tape with a waterproof, vinyl-coated cloth backing and a high-tack rubber adhesive. Its low-gloss, non-reflective matte finish is the smoothest of any gaffer tape FindTape carries, and the tape stays flexible and conformable in both low and high temperatures, so it holds up outdoors where weather and temperature are a factor. Polyken 510 is also known as Nashua 510; both are brands of Berry Global.

Polyken 510 uses a softer adhesive than most gaffer tapes, so it grips carpet well while still removing cleanly. A high thread count cloth tears cleanly by hand, though the tear may run at a slight angle. It is a staple for film, photo, stage and AV crews and also handles bookbinding, vinyl bus seat repair, bundling and moisture- and dust-proof sealing of equipment cases. Need high visibility? See Polyken 510-Neon for the same tape in fluorescent colors.

FindTape receives Polyken 510 in wide log rolls, so non-standard widths can be custom cut; custom-cut rolls ship on plain white cores unless a shrink-wrapped, branded roll is specified.

  • 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).

QUESTION: Is this tape waterproof from hurricane water
ANSWER: While gaffers tape is generally water-resistant, it's not truly waterproof and typically will only hold up outdoors for short time frames. If there is any gapping in the edges of the tape when it is applied the adhesive will degrade once water seeps underneath the edges and comes into contact with the adhesive. The vinyl-coated cloth backing of the tape is waterproof, but not the adhesive itself.

Love the way the tape "gives" a bit.
Polyken 510 Premium Grade Gaffers Tape
I use gaff tape to decorate hula hoops. I like the way it gives a bit around the tubing for a wrinkle free finish. :)
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).
