Description
Blue Dolphin Goliath tape is at the top of the heavyweight class of construction tapes and is designed especially for applications where the performance of ordinary duct tape is not enough. The key feature of the product is its massive tensile strength, which withstands a load of up to 80 kilograms. This makes it one of the strongest repair and fixing tapes on the market. The tape has been developed for professional use on construction sites, in industry and in demanding maintenance work.
The adhesive of Goliath tape is exceptionally aggressive and optimised to adhere to challenging and porous surfaces. Unlike traditional tapes, which may come off a dusty or rough surface, Goliath bites into materials such as brick, concrete, stone and untreated wood. Despite its strong construction, the tape is designed to be user-friendly: it is easily torn by hand without scissors or a knife, which speeds up work considerably in challenging conditions.
The backing of the product is reinforced with a multi-layer construction, which gives it excellent puncture and abrasion resistance. It also works reliably in changing weather conditions and withstands moisture, which allows temporary repairs outdoors. Blue Dolphin Goliath is an “all-in-one” solution for situations that need uncompromising hold and durability.
Intended use:
- Heavy construction and fixing: Goliath is ideal for fixing heavy building materials, such as protective plastics, tarpaulins and boards, to rough surfaces (concrete, brick). Its 80 kg tensile strength ensures that fixings withstand even heavy stress and wind on site.
- Demanding emergency repairs: The tape is excellent for temporary repairs of broken pipes, hoses (not pressurised) or tool handles. Its thick, dense construction forms strong protection and binds the damaged parts tightly together until proper servicing.
- Bundling and packing: In industrial environments, Goliath is used for bundling heavy pipes, cables and metal profiles. It is also a safe choice for sealing heavy boxes and packages where ordinary packing tape could fail during transport.
Package contents:
The pack contains one roll of Blue Dolphin Goliath duct tape, size 48 mm x 25 m.
Features:
- Extreme tensile strength (80 kg): The tape withstands very high tensile forces without tearing, which makes it a reliable choice for heavy binding.
- Aggressive adhesion: The adhesive is designed to adhere immediately and firmly to rough surfaces such as concrete, brick and wood, where ordinary tapes do not stay put.
- Tears by hand: Although the tape is very strong, its woven construction allows easy tearing by hand, which makes work more efficient without cutting tools.
- Weather-resistant construction: The tape withstands moisture and varying temperatures, so it is suitable for both indoor and outdoor use.
- Reinforced backing: The thick, durable backing protects against mechanical wear and punctures better than standard duct tape.

Blue Dolphin Goliath instructions for use:
For the best adhesion, make sure the fixing surface is as dry as possible. Although Goliath adheres to rough and slightly dusty surfaces, loose dirt, oil and grease always weaken the result. Clean the surface with a brush or wiper if necessary.
Unroll the amount you need and tear the tape off with a brisk sideways movement, or use a utility knife for a neat edge. Place the tape on the item and press it firmly onto the surface across its whole width. Firm pressure activates the adhesive and makes sure it penetrates the pores of the surface (e.g. concrete or wood). If the tape is used for binding heavy items, wrap several turns to ensure sufficient strength. Do not use the tape as a lifting device.
Warnings:
The product has a very strong adhesive. It is not recommended for use on delicate surfaces such as painted walls, wallpapers or varnished furniture, as removing the tape can damage the surface or leave adhesive residue that is hard to remove. The tape is not intended as an approved lifting aid for lifting people or loads. Not suitable for electrical insulation.
Frequently asked questions (FAQ):
Is Goliath tape water resistant?
Yes, Blue Dolphin Goliath is water resistant and suitable for outdoor use and damp conditions. However, it is not intended for permanent underwater installations.
Can the tape be torn without scissors?
Yes, one of the key features of Goliath tape is its “Easy Tear” technology. Despite its 80 kg tensile strength, the tape is designed to tear cleanly by hand.
Does the tape leave adhesive residue when removed?
As this is a very strong construction tape, it may leave adhesive residue, especially after long-term use or in hot conditions. Adhesive residue can be removed with a suitable solvent (e.g. label remover spray).
Recycling instructions:
Used tape is mixed waste, as it contains adhesives and composite materials that cannot be recycled as plastic or paper. The cardboard core of the tape can be recycled in cardboard collection.
