- Transmission Filters Keeping the transmission fluid clean is vital for the longevity of your transmission system.
In addition to plumbing, heat tape is vital in agricultural applications. Farmers often use it to maintain soil temperature, ensuring seedlings and crops grow optimally in cooler climates. Furthermore, heat tape can be employed in greenhouses to prevent plants from freezing during cold spells, thus extending the growing season.
Silicone tape has almost limitless applications, including:
In 1845, a surgeon named Dr. Horace Day made the first crude surgical tape by combining India rubber, pine gum, turpentine, litharge (a yellow lead oxide), and turpentine extract of cayenne pepper and applying that mixture to strips of fabric. It was the first “rubber-based” adhesive and Dr. Day used it in his practice as a surgical plaster. Larger scale manufacturing of similar medical tapes began in 1874 by Robert Wood Johnson and George Seaburg in East Orange, NJ. That company would soon become the Johnson & Johnson Company we know today. Later in 1921, Earle Dickson who bought cotton for Johnson & Johnson noticed that the surgical tape kept falling off his wife Josephine’s fingers after cutting them in the kitchen. He fixed a piece of gauze to some cloth backed tape and the first Band-Aid ® was invented. It took almost 75 years from Dr. Day’s first crude tape until the early 1920’s when the first industrial tape application appeared. The application was electrical tape (although the adhesive was more of a cohesive film than the electrical tape we know today) to prevent wires from shorting. The second major industrial tape application was a result of the rise of the American automobile in the 1920’s. Two-toned automobiles were becoming popular and automakers needed a way to produce clean, sharp paint lines while using the new automatic paint spray gun. They started using the surgical tape that was available but the paint wicked through the cloth backing and caused defective paint jobs. Richard Drew, an engineer at Minnesota Mining and Manufacturing (3M) happened to be at a local body shop testing their WetorDry® brand sandpaper in 1925 and he saw the workers struggling to get clean paint lines. He went back to his lab and created a 2-inch wide crimp backed paper tape that became the first “masking tape” for painting. Jumping ahead to 1942 and World War II, Johnson & Johnson developed duct tape to seal canisters and repair equipment for the military. The tape was a basically a polyethylene coated cloth tape with good “quick stick” properties that made it easy to use in the field for emergency repairs. The world never looked back and duct tape can be found in almost any home or toolbox.
Schools and educational institutions also benefit from heavy duty floor tape. Whether it's marking out seating arrangements in classrooms, indicating where students should line up, or creating game boundaries in gymnasiums, floor tape helps to maintain order and organization in these busy environments. Teachers and students alike can benefit from the clarity and structure that floor tape provides.
Easy to use and apply, this tape offers a high stretch performance, stretching up to 2-3 times its length. It is non-sticky and is effective across a wide temperature range. It is moisture, UV and chemical resistant.

yellow black tape for floor. In areas with high foot traffic, such as airports, train stations, and shopping malls, the tape can be used to guide people towards exits, entrances, and other important locations. This reduces confusion and ensures that visitors can navigate the space easily and safely.

One of the advantages of Flex Tape Black is its flexibility. Unlike traditional adhesive tapes, Flex Tape Black can bend and stretch, making it suitable for use on curved surfaces and around corners. This flexibility also helps to prevent the tape from cracking or peeling over time, ensuring a long-lasting and reliable repair.
Selecting the right tape for your repair project depends on various factors. To make an informed choice, consider the following:
