Polyken 231

Description

Polyken® 231 is a military-grade, waterproof duct tape trusted for aerospace maintenance, military packaging, and general-purpose sealing. Constructed with a polyethylene-coated cloth carrier and a stiff natural rubber adhesive, this tape offers superior adhesion, tensile strength, and conformability for demanding environments.

Unlike generic alternatives, Polyken® 231 conforms to ASTM D-5486 Type IV Class 1, which supersedes PPP-T-60D & E Type IV, making it an approved choice for defense and aviation-grade applications. It is used in surface masking, bundling, sealing, and reinforcement tasks, especially where moisture, abrasion, and temperature fluctuations are a concern.

The stiffer adhesive compared to Nashua 357 ensures stronger bonding to flat substrates such as glass, aluminum, and painted metals. Polyken 231 also provides clean tearing and superior handling, making it ideal for both field repairs and manufacturing environments.
