New Scotch Tough Duct Tapes

3M Introduces New Line of Duct Tapes for Extreme, Rough Conditions ST. PAUL, Minn., Oct. 28 / / - While small repairs and mends are typically easy to fix, there are often bigger tasks like repairing patio furniture, bundling large pieces of lumber and securing carpeting and cords that require tough strength to get the job done. When the conditions are extreme, the repairs are rough and only the strong survive, it's time to reach for the tough fix - new Scotch Tough Duct Tapes from 3M. Withstanding outdoor elements like sunlight and moisture, this premium line of duct tapes is weather resistant, featuring a durable, waterproof backing. Tough on indoor or outdoor repair and maintenance jobs, the tapes beat the heat - with UV resistance and even some tapes standing up to temperatures as high as 200 degrees Fahrenheit. Featuring a breakthrough technology, Scotch Tough Duct Tapes hold on strongly to a variety of materials and surfaces, such as brick, concrete, and stucco. Each tape quickly tears off the roll and unwinds with ease for flexible application. From repairing items and securing materials to bundling loads and reinforcing tools, Scotch Tough Duct Tapes are the ideal solution whether at home, in a recreational setting or on the job site. The tough line consists of: - Scotch Tough Duct Tape - No Residue: This maximum strength duct tape removes easily and leaves no sticky adhesive behind for up to six months.
