Patco® 5400 General Purpose Preservation & Sealing Tape
Patco® 5400 General Purpose Preservation & Sealing Tape is a single-coated, self-wound tape with a low-density polyethylene backing and a rubber adhesive, available in white. It's built for long-term preservation, sealing, and splicing applications and serves as a direct protective mask for aircraft, trucks, boats, and industrial equipment during outdoor storage. It's also used with outdoor shrink film to secure the film and seal its border during transport or extended outdoor use. The tape is UV- and weather-resistant, highly conformable, and will not break down after extended outdoor use. It resists staining and ghosting, provides excellent low-temperature adhesion, adheres securely to contoured and irregular surfaces, and withstands chemicals and abrasion.
Applications include: Long-term preservation, sealing, and splicing; direct protective masking of aircraft, trucks, boats, and industrial equipment during outdoor storage; securing and sealing outdoor shrink film during transport or extended outdoor use
