296FR flame-retardant duct tape
Polyken 296FR is a white, fiberglass-cloth duct tape with an acrylic adhesive designed for indoor and outdoor sealing and repair tasks. The roll measures four inches wide by thirty-six yards long and carries a flame-retardant rating suitable for aviation and cargo-pit environments. It operates continuously between forty and two-hundred-seventy-five degrees Fahrenheit.
Sustained temperature and adhesion performance
The acrylic adhesive maintains a bond of forty-five ounces per inch on steel across the full service range without softening at the upper limit or becoming brittle at the lower limit. Glass-cloth backing resists tearing and degradation during prolonged exposure to heat, moisture and UV, so seams stay sealed through repeated thermal cycles. Continuous-roll construction eliminates splices that could weaken long runs.
Replaces standard cloth duct tapes
This tape upgrades from general-purpose cloth tapes that lack a flame-retardant rating or that lose adhesion above two-hundred degrees Fahrenheit. The jump is worth it when specifications call for a 296FR series product, when sealing ductwork in heated cargo areas, or when a single roll must cover thirty-two point two metres without joints. Buyers who need a non-flame-rated tape for temporary bundling will not require this specification.

Questions about this item
Does the acrylic adhesive on the 296FR tape hold up when the duct runs at 275 Degrees F all day?
The tape is rated for continuous performance up to 275 Degrees F, and the acrylic adhesive maintains its bond at that temperature.
What surface preparation or primer is required before applying this glass-cloth tape to bare sheet metal?
Clean the metal so it is dry and free of oil; the acrylic adhesive bonds directly without a separate primer.
Will the 45 oz/in adhesion to steel stay reliable if I overlap this tape onto an older cloth-backed duct wrap?
The adhesive is designed for steel; adhesion to an aged cloth wrap will be lower and should be tested on site.
