T-Rex's Brute Force Tape is as tough as it gets. Seriously: a single piece of this tape was enough to hold over 200lbs of weight, much more than any other tape that we tested. T-Rex claims that, because of the very thick fabric backing and the double thickness of adhesive, it can hold up to 700lbs of weight.
Built with Forge-Link™ Technology, an extreme tensile cloth, one loop of T-Rex Brute Force tape holds 700+ pounds of weight, making it the strongest duct tape on the market.
Gorilla Tape® All-Weather Extreme is the tough tape for extreme weather conditions. Extra-strong and extra-durable, it's perfect for permanent outdoor repairs.
The 17-mil T-Rex Tape, made by Shurtape (the parent company of Duck), is positioned as a direct competitor to Gorilla, even down to the terrifying animal mascot. The T-Rex tears easier than Gorilla, but that's about the only category where it gets the edge. In every strength test, Gorilla was stronger.
Gorilla Tape is 3 times stronger* for a hold that lasts. Made with double-thick adhesive, strong reinforced backing, and a tough all-weather shell, this duct tape is great for projects and repairs both indoors and out.
Which Duct Tape Brand is the Best? Let's find out!
What will Gorilla Tape not stick to?
Gorilla Tape does not work on materials with high oil or plasticizer content, such as EPDM rubber or PVC. An acrylic tape, such as Crystal Clear Gorilla Tape, may be better suited for these materials.
Gorilla tape can be used both indoors and outdoors on wood, glass, brick, ceramic, stone, and some plastics. Unlike 3M VHB, however, Gorilla Tape won't bond well with low surface energy plastics such as polyethylene and polypropylene plastics.
The Gorilla Tape was also among the strongest tapes in our adhesion strength test, second only to Gaffer Power. (In truth, both took a backseat to the astonishing holding power of FiberFix, but that's not really a duct tape.) And yet despite all that power, the Gorilla Tape also proved to be easy to tear and handle.
100 MPH Tape is a heavy duty poly-coated adhesive tape that outperforms traditional duct tape at every level. With superior adhesion and weather resistance, this tape can be used for quick fixes on equipment in the field, marking deployment gear, and many other uses.
Made with a heavy duty adhesive layer and waterproof backing for extreme durability. This tape is UV and temperature resistant - great for projects and repairs both indoors and out. Crystal Clear Gorilla Tape can be applied to wet surfaces and also works under water.
Gorilla Mounting Tape is a permanent tape and may cause surface damage or leave residue if removed. If Mounting Tape must be removed, the mounted object should be removed first, which is best be achieved by prying from one corner. Mounting tape can then be removed by slowly stretching the tape away from the surface.
Strapping tape, also known as filament tape, is a long-lasting tape that has a very high tensile strength. It is most commonly used in applications such as carton sealing, bundling, securing items and more.
Strength. Don't let its stretchy properties fool you into thinking it's weak; electrical tape is actually stronger than most other types of tape. It doesn't rip or tear easily. With its PVC backing, electrical tape is stretchy yet also strong.
For your toughest jobs, go for our strongest hold–Scotch-Mount™ Extreme Double-Sided Mounting Tape with its 3M™ industrial strength adhesive. Equipped with our powerful permanent adhesive, this double-sided tape defies gravity, holding an item up to 30 pounds.
When you need tape you can trust, Military Grade 100mph Duct Tape (NSN 7510-00-266-5016) is the gold standard. This tape is waterproof, bonds to almost any surface, and leaves almost no residue when removed.
Brigade QM's Army 90 MPH Duct Tape is a top industrial pro grade far superior to cheapie hardware store silver duct tapes. Tensile Strength: 26 lb./in. Operating Temperature: 400-200 F. Pro grade polyethylene coated cloth backing for easy tearing and tensile strength.
Gorilla Tape incorporates a three-layer construction: a weather-resistant outer shell, reinforced fabric backing, and an adhesive layer that is twice as thick as the adhesive found on duct tape, which Popular Science says allows it to better surround and grip uneven surfaces.
The reason for the high price of the gaffers tape is that the cloth backing material and the adhesive layer require a special process. The gaffers tape is made with a coated cloth backing and a rubber-based adhesion system.
Well known for its versatility and strength, duct tape is a cloth tape coated with a polyethylene resin on one side and an aggressive, rubber-based adhesive on the other. Unlike other tapes, the fabric backing gives duct tape strength, yet allows it to be easily torn and adhered to a variety of surfaces.
Surpasses ordinary tapes, making the list of uses virtually endless. The same strength as Gorilla Tape in a brilliant white color, with superior UV resistance. The same strength as Gorilla Tape in a silver color. Covers more surface area than Gorilla Tape to create a tougher, lasting bond.
Gorilla Heavy Duty Mounting Tape is a double-sided tape that mounts in an instant, for a long-lasting, weatherproof bond. The industrial strength double-sided tape delivers a heavy duty bond that holds up to 30 pounds.
