3M 898
Filament Tape

General Information
898 is a 6mil, high performance transparent packaging tape reinforced along its length with continuos glass yarn filaments, which give the tape very high tensile strength. The transparent Scotchpar™ backing provides excellent abrasion, moisture, and scuff resistance. The adhesive is an aggressive packaging adhesive specifically formulated to provide balanced performance having both high adhesion and long term holding power.
