Cotton Cloth Tape
Cotton Cloth Tape
Cotton cloth tape is a single sided fabric tape made from woven cotton coated with a rubber based adhesive. It combines strong holding power with easy hand tearability, so it applies quickly without tools.
The cloth backing conforms to curved and uneven surfaces, while the rubber adhesive delivers high initial tack on most materials. This balance of strength and flexibility suits it to demanding holding and bundling tasks.
Cotton cloth tape is used across packaging, printing, and maintenance work where a reliable, conformable hold is needed. It is a dependable general purpose tape for everyday industrial use.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is cotton cloth tape used for?
Cotton cloth tape is used for wire harness bundling, garment industry binding and screen printing, bookbinding, handle wrapping, and general industrial wrapping. Its fabric backing provides cushioning and conformability.
Is cotton tape the same as duct tape?
No. Cotton cloth tape uses a lightweight woven cotton backing. Duct tape uses a heavier PE-coated woven fabric backing with higher adhesion. Cotton tape is softer and more conformable. Duct tape is stronger and more moisture resistant.
What temperature can cotton cloth tape withstand?
Standard cotton cloth tape with rubber adhesive handles temperatures up to 90°C. It is suitable for indoor applications. For higher temperatures, consider acetate cloth tape (105°C) or PET fleece tape (150°C).
