PVC Duct Tape
GT13 is a lead-free conformable silver PVC duct tape with a high-performance cross-linked solvent-based rubber-resin adhesive system. Supplied on a handy 38mm printed cardboard core, it’s designed for bundling, joining, and protection across construction, electrical, automotive, and general-purpose environments. GT13 offers good thermal stability to 80°C.
Built for demanding trades and DIY work, GT13’s conformable PVC backing wraps around complex surfaces including cables, pipes, and irregular shapes. The PVC has good memory — when you apply it stretched, the tape contracts back. This provides bundling and strapping strength, though best results come when you let the trailing edge relax rather than sticking it down under tension. GT13 has good UV and water resistance for indoor and outdoor use.
GT13 handles builder’s film joining on construction sites, cable harnessing in electrical installations, and pipe wrapping for corrosion protection. You’ll also find it in automotive and marine repairs, agricultural work, and DIY tool kits — bundling, sealing, protecting, and holding in wet or demanding conditions.

5 Key Benefits of GT13
Waterproof Performance
Good water resistance and a clean PVC surface work well for sealing in high-moisture and outdoor environments.
Good Memory
The PVC backing contracts after stretching. Provides bundling and strapping strength when you apply it correctly — best results when the trailing edge is relaxed, not stuck down under tension.
Conformable & Flexible
Wraps around irregular surfaces — cables, pipes, corners — without tearing or splitting.
Thermal Stability
Performs from -5°C to 80°C. Handles varied conditions.
Non-Corrosive & RoHS Compliant
Lead-free formulation. The adhesive system won't corrode or damage substrates over time.
What Makes it Different
GT13 uses a cross-linked solvent-based rubber-resin adhesive with conformable PVC backing that has good memory. The PVC contracts and holds after stretching, which works well for bundling, strapping, and creating splints where that memory effect provides strength.
You’ll find it on construction sites joining builder’s film, in electrical installations harnessing cables, wrapping pipes for corrosion protection, and in tool kits handling general repairs. Works anywhere waterproof, conformable performance is needed.
