Filament Tape

General Information
A 6.0 mil. general purpose packaging tape reinforced with continuous glass yarn filaments that give the tape high tensile strength and low stretch. The clear 3M™ Scotchpro™ backing provides excellent abrasion and moisture resistance. The aggressive packaging grade adhesive is specifically formulated to provide an excellent balance of high initial adhesion and long term holding power to most fiber board surfaces. When used in bundling, reinforcing, or coil tabbing applications, where high temperatures and/or oily surfaces are involved, tests should be conducted per the individual application before extensive use to determine the tape's suitability.
