Really?
I've used EPDM stuck on with evo-stick in the past, but wanted to avoid it this time hoping tape would be easier and quicker.
What adhesive tape ....

Some people mean duct, but say duck, but you hear it as duct. So you never know if they mean duct or duck. Life is confusing
my thoughts
if its say a fairly level open surface and to hold the edge down temporary perhaps double-sided tape and perhaps 4x2 to weigh it down a few inches in from the edge so any pull is sideways [in shear] so more resilient in windy situations ???
if i have misunderstood then sorry

Duck tape. Or gorriia which is a brand.
I wonder if tarps are coated? Try giving it a wipe with meths which you can pick up small bottle of.
Duct tape as in for tapeing air conditioning ducts. .
There is a duct tape trade named duck also another called gorilla we use one called hippo.
So pick your animal or bird!

Which "tarp" do you have and where is it boing used?
I once made the mistake of making a temporary tarp lean to spray booth using cheap blue tarps. After a about two weeks I noticed blue specs landing on the surfaces that I was spraying. It clearly wasn't a UV safe tarp.

Just to muddy the water further.... sometime people used the foil based tape for ducting, rather than the "cloth"-type duct tape (also known as gaffer tape).
Some vinyl canvass structures (roof coverings) are coated with Teflon. We ended up using a hot Iron to repair a tear in one (Canterbury), many moons ago.
It's vinyl like the stuff used on trucks and pick-ups, not the blue/green polythene or canvas stuff. It will be used outside!

I went to their website, and downloaded the PDF, I still have no idea what the tape is for.
I am not saying that the tape won't work, it is just odd that even in your link they don't bother explaining what the tape does.
It looks like the stuff we use to seal laps on membrane like Tyvek. A rubbery/butyl type material? I'm not sure if it's reinforced, or needs to be
I'll have a better look later, but for £23 a roll I'd expect it to be able to seal tears in the space-time continuum.
