FEATURES
Stick with extra strength
When you need high-strength tapes that hold and keep holding, even when scuffed or nicked, look to 3M. Our Scotch® Filament Tapes include continuous fibers reinforcing the carrier to make it stronger, help resist damage and stop tears from migrating across the tape. We offer a variety of tensile strengths and different adhesives designed for demanding situations, from hand-breakable economy-grade filament tapes to the strongest filament tape in the world, Scotch® Filament Tape 890HD, twice as strong as the nearest competition.
Bundling/strapping
It’s easy to hold a bundle that just sits there – you need it to stay together through every bump and jolt. Scotch® Filament Tapes are strong to stay in one piece and bond multiple surfaces to keep your pieces together.
Coil tabbing/splicing
You need confidence your tabs and splices will stay together. Scotch® Filament Tapes have a strong carrier with excellent adhesive performance to withstand the spring force of a metal coil in aluminum, steel, stainless steel or copper production without damaging the product, minimizing scratches and increasing yield.
Temporary holding
Whether you’re dealing with parts, doors or drawers, you need things to stay in place until they reach their destination. Scotch® Filament Tapes hold firm, then remove cleanly to minimize cleanup.
L-clip/fulfillment
You want your product to arrive safely even through a rough journey. L-clips of Scotch® Filament Tape hold firmly to packaging materials even when they’re slightly crushed in shipping so your customers know everything arrived intact.
Specifications
High performance. Polypropylene backing reinforced with bi-directional continuous glass yarn across length and width. Typical tensile strengths of 150 lb/inch longitudinal and 50 lb/inch width in cross direction.
Excellent resistance to nicks, abrasion, moisture and scuffing. Resists center seam splitting in both longitudinal and cross direction for increased tape performance. Specially formulated rubber resin adhesive bonds with excellent initial adhesion and shear strength to metal, plastic and fiberboard. Holds with minimum rubdown and no water activation. Long aging keeps boxes closed longer. Applications: Coil tabbing with one piece removal; hinging and holding where stress is on cross direction filaments; high performance H-seal closures of extremely heavy RSCs. Typical Physical Properties: Low 6% elongation at break to help keep bundles tight. 100 oz/inch adhesion to steel. Bar codes, type and graphics show through translucent backing. Standard widths: 19, 25, 50 and 75 mm
