Default duct tape is drying out on ducting

I've noticed that over time (a year or so)
our duct tape is drying out
and falling away from the heating ducts
that are located in the ceiling of our heated - but unfinished -
basement.
It is used to wrap the tubular joints
of some of our basement ducting
along with our clothes dryer vent ducting connection to the outside.

I can understand the heat from the duct is drying out the adhesive...
Any suggestions on this ?
I mean, isn't that what duck/duct tape is for;
sealing a tubular duct joint.

The cloth stuff, the silver stuff at least, does not hold up. You need a
roll of the foil stuff.
