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 fiberboard 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.
