Loctite® Power Grab™ Adhesive

Provides instant-grab with the touch of a finger

Never has an instant-grab, all-purpose construction adhesive had a more innovative and practical applicator.. until now. Henkel Consumer Adhesives, Inc., makers of Duct Tape,  is launching the next generation of construction adhesives with Loctite® Power Grab™, a latex-based adhesive with a revolutionary dispensing system that is strong, safe and easy to use for a wide array of home repair projects.

 

The adhesive formula features the highest initial tack on the market, reducing the need to brace or reinforce items, thus saving time. Loctite Power Grab is strong enough to permanently mount paneling yet safe enough to get on your hands. The formula is odor-free, non-flammable, non-carcinogenic and can be cleaned up with water.

 

Power Grab's dispensing system makes working with super-strength adhesives easier than ever.  The Pressure Pack's unique dispenser features a built-in lever that controls the flow of adhesive, designed to make application easy.  No gun is needed, it allows the user to apply precise amounts of adhesive with the press of a finger.  

 

In Canada, the company markets products under the Lepage® brand through Henkel Canada Corp.

 

Available in a 6.76 oz (200mL), Power Grab construction adhesive is also available in a traditional gunnable cartridge.

Duck® Adhesive remover

For general adhesive removal, use Duck brand Adhesive Remover. Duck brand Adhesive Remover is a heavy-duty adhesive residue removal solution. Removes Duck Tape, masking tape, carpet tape, weather-stripping tape, mounting tape, labels stickers, tar, gum, caulk and more.  Duck Adhesive Remover comes in a 5.45 oz bottle with a built-in sponge applicator and cap.

 

The remover is safe to use on all types of hard surfaces including: walls, floors, doors, furniture, cars, metal, plastic, glass and wood.

 

Application Tips

Always test solvents on a small, inconspicuous area to make sure it won’t damage the surface. The sponge applicator makes it easy to use with precise application. There is a convenient built-in scraper tool attached: no need for additional tools. Fresh citrus scent in an easy to handle bottle. Not recommended for fine fabrics and furniture, or absorbent surfaces.

 

The key to removing rubber adhesive is to let the solvent do the work for you. The longer you let it soak in, the easier it is to remove the adhesive. Five to ten minutes is usually enough time.

 

A "home remedy" Duck recommends is WD-40. The petroleum-based lubricant is excellent for removing adhesives. Rubbing alcohol also works for removing light adhesives, but evaporates quickly. Remember to test these products before applying on a large scale

 

Features Include:

Sponge applicator for easy and precise application

Convenient built-in scraper tool. No need for additional tools

Duck Tape® New Blaze Orange

Designed Specifically for Hunters – Safety on a Roll  

Many state laws require hunters to wear blaze orange clothing in order to create visibility when hunting. Now, Duck® brand makes it easier than ever to follow regulations with new Blaze Orange Duck Tape®.

 

Blaze Orange, commonly referred to as hunter orange, is now available on a roll. The Duck Brand's newest innovation in duct tapes allows for hunters to make quick alterations to clothing and gear that require additional blaze orange coloring. Blaze Orange Duck Tape works and feels just like original Duck Tape, with a layer of polyethylene (which gives it its color and makes it water-resistant), a layer of cotton cloth (which gives the tape its strength and ability to be torn by hand) and a natural rubber adhesive for strong staying power.

 

Blaze Orange Duck Tape was designed with the needs of hunters in mind.  It is easy to apply to gear and clothing, and can refresh and brighten fading blaze orange gear with just a few strips of tape. It is perfect for the hunter who needs blaze orange for quick and easy identification. 

 

Available at major U.S. and Canadian retailers, including Wal-Mart, Cabela's Retail Stores, Lowe's, and participating Ace Hardware stores.  Comes in 20 yd rolls.

Duck Tape® New Camouflage Patterns

Give Hunters More Options

Hunters now have two new patterns of Camouflage Duck Tape® to conceal themselves and their gear. Duck has added Bill Jordan's Realtree Hardwoods® HD™ and Realtree Hardwoods® Green HD™ patterns to the existing camouflage patterns of its Duck brand duct tape.

 

 Hunters asked for a "season and region" option for camouflage patterns, and that is exactly what the Realtree Hardwoods Green HD pattern gives. Its Hardwoods pattern and green leaves give hunters a new option for use in mostly green areas. And, like all Realtree patterns, the Hardwoods Green HD carries the "20-200" designation, indicating it is as effective at 200 yards as it is at 20.

 

Strong and water-resistant, Camouflage Duck Tape can camouflage any piece of gear, including: flashlights, coolers, tree stands, clothing, slippery shoe bottoms, tripods, calls, dry boxes, thermos, binoculars, GPS and shot boxes. 

 

The Realtree Hardwoods HD pattern has 13 natural colors, lifelike shadows and photo-realistic limbs and leaves, making it blend well with a wide ,variety of habitats. Its extreme light and dark contrasts create a maximum visual disruption for animals, whether they see color or not.

Available at major U.S. and Canadian retailers, including Wal-Mart, Cabela's Retail Stores, Lowe's, and participating Ace Hardware stores.  Comes in 20 yd rolls.
