waterproof tape

Plumber's pipe wrap

Waterproof tape is adhesive tape designed to maintain its bond when exposed to water.

It's used for sealing leaks, securing bandages that need to stay dry, or making temporary repairs in wet conditions.

I wrapped waterproof tape around the leaky hose fitting.

The term covers everything from plumber's tape to medical tape to duct tape marketed for outdoor use.
