Actually it is "duct" tape.
Used to air seal the metal joints in a metal duct work system for heat
and AC.
New building codes require a mastic paint be applied over all metal
joints in the duct work system.
I guess it is an energy conservation issue, so the processed air does
not leak into unintended spaces.
