Harbor Products USA to debut RESCUE TAPE® at Sydney International Boat Show

17th July 2006


Carson City, Nevada - USA – 06/01/06 – Harbor Products is launching their hot-selling Rescue Tape® at the upcoming Sydney International Boat Show in BOOTH #P-28-Promenade.
 
“Rescue Tape® has been embraced by boaters in the United States, causing it to be one of the hottest selling products in the Marine Industry.  We’re expecting to see similar results in Australia, where boaters are more self-reliant due to the expansive coastline.  And, with the falling US Dollar it is becoming increasing more attractive for the export of US products,” said Ron Cordas, VP Sales for Rescue Tape / Harbor Products, Inc.  “The significant amount of product inquiries we’ve received so far from potential Australian customers suggest that demand for Rescue Tape will be very high in Australia.”
 
Rescue Tape® is a self-fusing silicone tape with no adhesive.  When stretched and wrapped under tension, it instantly begins curing into one piece of silicone, creating an air-tight, water-tight seal that’s resistant to oils, fuels, acids, solvents, salt water, road salt and UV rays.  It takes just minutes or even seconds to permanently fuse together and never comes unraveled.  It never gets gummy or sticky like electrical tape or duct tape, and resists temperatures up to 500? F.  It’s the strongest and quickest fusing silicone tape on the market.
 
Rescue Tape® boast an impressive 700 PSI strength, so it easily repairs a radiator hose, heater hose, fuel line, wet exhaust hose, air hose, water line, or just about anything that you can wrap it around, and even works over wet, dirty or oily surfaces.  This is exactly what boaters wish duct tape could do!  Rescue Tape® is ideal for emergencies on and off the water.  More than two-thirds of the “Vessel Assist” Rescue Boats in the USA now carry Rescue Tape® as a standard item on their boat.
 
Rescue Tape® resists up to 8,000 volts per layer!  It is fantastic for electrical wiring; use it to wrap wiring harnesses, waterproof electrical connections, and protect battery cables and terminals.  Combining electrical resistance with heat resistance and being waterproof provides for a bullet-proof electrical connection, virtually eliminating corrosion!  This is especially beneficial for eliminating electrical problems stemming from salt-water corrosion.  With our unique CLEAR Rescue Tape®, boaters will love being able to wrap electrical connections and waterproof them, while still being able to visually inspect the connection to assure there is no corrosion or damage, and be able to see the color and even the print on the wiring.  This is especially beneficial for coax cables going up the mast, or installation of marine electronics.  Rescue Tape® can be easily removed with a knife or scissors and never leaves any sticky residue like electrical tape. 
 
Rescue Tape® is great for rigging, too!  Sailors can use it for whipping the ends of rope, wrapping turnbuckles, spreader boot covers, mast boots, or anyplace else where rigging tape is used.  Rescue Tape® is so versatile that it can also be formed into an emergency o-ring or even a fan belt, is fantastic for wrapping oar and tool handles, or neatening up lines and wire bundles in stowage.  It will never come unraveled like most tapes do, and when removed it never leaves any sticky residue behind like traditional adhesive tapes!  Boaters will be excited to keep this one in the toolbox for those unpredictable emergencies.  Rescue Tape® is quite possibly the strongest, most useful, and most versatile repair product on the market.  This is the “no-brainer” repair solution that will make you say, “Now why didn’t I think of that!”
