BT-287 is a general purpose duct tape for packaging and repair, seaming and sealing pe sheeting, temporary holding, or color coding. It comes in a variety of colors to meet your needs. Many industries use these colored tapes for both protection and identification. We have convention and event clients that use these to identify different sized carpet pads. They use different colors to represent the different sized pads by wrapping tape around the edges. This has the double benefit of also protecting the pads from damage from other tapes which drastically improves the life of the pad and saves money.
