Polyethylene tape, also known as poly tape or PE tape, is a versatile and widely used adhesive tape. Unique properties and characteristics make poly tape an essential tool in various industries, including construction. Here are three common poly tape applications:
Plastering: Poly tape became increasingly popular in the pool and stucco plastering markets as an alternative to duct tape. Due to residue-free removal properties, and UV additives in certain products, poly tape is used for outdoor clean removal applications.
Seaming: Polyethylene tape is commonly used to seam pieces of plastic sheeting together in construction applications, like abatement and containment or general renovations.
Waterproofing: Waterproof properties make poly tape ideal for sealing and defending surfaces from moisture exposure. One of the most common waterproofing applications is basement waterproofing or crawlspace encapsulation.
