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.
