Polyken 296FR Flame-Retardant Duct Tape
This Polyken 296FR tape is a white, fiberglass-cloth duct tape with an acrylic adhesive. It is built for HVAC professionals and maintenance crews who need a flame-retardant seam tape for cargo-pit and general duct repairs. The roll suits indoor and outdoor aviation and industrial environments.
36-yard roll with 7-mil thickness
The continuous roll measures 36 yards long and 3 inches wide, providing a 7-mil backing that balances conformability with tear resistance. It operates reliably from 40 to 275 degrees Fahrenheit and delivers 45 oz/in adhesion to steel, so it holds on metal ductwork through thermal cycles without creeping.
Upgrade from standard cloth duct tapes
Standard cloth tapes often lack a flame-retardant rating and can degrade at the upper end of this temperature range. Switching to the 296FR series is worth it when specifications call for a fiberglass backing that meets fire-safety requirements and maintains bond strength across the full 40-to-275-degree window.

How can I verify the tape is performing correctly after applying it to ductwork?
The tape is rated for continuous operation between 40 and 275 degrees F; after application, confirm the bond remains secure across this temperature range without edge lifting or adhesive bleed.
Does the 36 yard roll include a dispenser or must I buy a cutter separately?
The box contains a single continuous 36 yard roll of 3 inch wide 296FR flame-retardant tape; no dispenser or cutter is included and must be sourced separately.
