Shurtape DF 545 Double-Coated Cloth Tape — Carpet & Trade Show

Shurtape® DF 545 Duck Pro® Double-Coated Cloth Carpet Tape | Professional Grade

Shurtape® DF 545 Duck Pro® is a professional-grade, premium double-coated cloth carpet tape — a high-performance double-sided tape engineered for securing carpet and pad at convention centers, arenas, and hotels, the go-to for trade-show flooring and event setup. Built on a polyester/cotton blend cloth carrier with a special poly laminate layer for added tensile strength, a rubber-based adhesive on both sides, and a siliconized polyethylene release liner, DF 545 delivers excellent adhesion to smooth and irregular surfaces, easy unwind, and — its standout feature — 30-day indoor, residue-free removal. The liner side bonds at 64 oz/in to stainless steel for confident floor anchoring, while the exposed side holds at 52 oz/in for the carpet, pad, or substrate above. With 24 lb/in tensile strength and a 50°F to 200°F service temperature range, this professional carpet tape stands up to demanding install-and-tear-down cycles while staying versatile enough for general-purpose hanging and splicing applications in the construction and abatement industries. Available in Natural in 48mm x 33m on a 3" core. Made in the USA by Shurtape Technologies, an ISO 9001 certified manufacturer.
