Duct Tape adhesiveness

[Gautama2]

At what temperature does the adhesive used in duct tape begin to fail? If I were to place it in an environment of 30 C how would it fare?

 

[FoBoT]

that is fine
or you can get hi temp version, but 30C isn't very warm

 

[Gautama2]

And Im pretty sure its not but it can never hurt to ask, is duct tape conductive?

 

[jagec]

It won't stick as well at 30C as 20C, but it will stick.

Duct tape is never meant to be a long-term solution.

 

[Gautama2]

Well then, what do you propose I use to cover the conductive edges of ERS paper with to make them nonconductive when it will be placed in 30-35C temperatures (my computer).

 

[FoBoT]

use glass tape, it is awesome

heh you can test this for us
theres gorilla duct tape, it costs quite a bit more, not sure if its worth it. scotch duct tape instead of generic, maybe their adhesive is more fancy i dunno. we need ductape reviews!

Oh...I don't know, maybe electrical tape?

A better question is why you think you need ERS paper in your computer.

How would I get it to stay on the edges when it only sticks to itself?

For audio.

You're hearing interference right now? And it's not just a low-quality sound card?

No, noise can affect the accuracy of a DAC. Just maximizing performance. Modified X-Fi Music if you're wondering.

Fair enough.

Duct tape should work fine for this application. As long as you have better cooling than, say, a Dell.

 

[NoShangriLa]

Try foil tape that design to withstand hot/cold from boiler/heatpump ducting.

Duct tape doesn't work on ducting because the adhesive dry out & flake off with time (accelerate by heat).

[add]
Better product would be spray adhesive.

And there are such thing as spray paint that reduce RFI/EMF, or duct sealant that can be paint on inside/outside that reduce RFI/EMF/ERS.

That would highly depend on who the manufacturer is, the adhesive they use, and how it's manufactured.

Why do you think electrical tape only sticks to itself?

I am audio clueless but how does external noise affect the accuracy of a digitial->analog process?

 

[Gautama2]

I dont know the technical reasons behind it, but its somewhat common practice by audio aficionados.
