Nuclear Grade Duct Tape 12 mil
Polyken 226 is a silver polyethylene coated cloth tape with rubber adhesive. It measures 48mm wide and 55m long at 12 mil thickness. The roll is rated for continuous use between 40 and 200 degrees Fahrenheit. It suits industrial assembly, construction, maintenance, metalworking and warehouse tasks indoors or outdoors.
Suits high-temperature sealing and repair
Buyers needing a tape that withstands sustained heat above 200 degrees Fahrenheit should look elsewhere. Users who require a specific width other than 48mm or a length other than 55m will need a different roll. The rubber adhesive may not bond well to certain low-surface-energy plastics or oily surfaces without preparation.
Apply clean surface for best bond
Installation is straightforward: unroll, press firmly onto a clean, dry surface and smooth to remove air pockets. The tape tears by hand for quick sizing. Common issues include reduced adhesion on dusty, wet or very cold surfaces below 40 degrees Fahrenheit. Residue can remain after long-term exposure near the upper temperature limit.

Questions about this item
What surface temperature range must the duct or pipe stay within for the 12 mil tape to maintain its adhesive bond?
The tape performs continuously between 40 °F and 200 °F, so the substrate must remain inside that window for reliable adhesion.
Will the rubber adhesive on this 48 mm wide roll stick reliably to aged galvanised ductwork already installed in the building?
The rubber adhesive bonds to clean metal, including older galvanised surfaces, provided oil, dust and loose corrosion are removed first.
How can I verify the 55 m roll is the genuine 226 series nuclear grade after opening the package?
Check that the backing is polyethylene coated cloth, thickness measures 12 mil, and the roll is marked Series 226 with silver colour throughout.
