-
What kind of adhesive properties are present with this filament tape?
Our Scotch® Bi-Directional Filament Tape 8959 has high holding power and adhesion strength suitable for heavy-duty applications like bundling or palletizing items. Its polypropylene film backing combined with fiberglass reinforced cross-filaments further enhances its holding capacity resulting to boxes remaining closed through rough handling and shipping.
Bi-Directional Reinforcement for Added Strength
Scotch® Bi-Directional Filament Tape 8959 is designed with continuous fiberglass yarns in both the longitudinal and transverse directions. This construction provides cut edge protection and resists abrasion and splitting. The tape has a synthetic rubber adhesive that provides high initial adhesion and holds well with minimum rub-down on most surfaces. The backing, filaments, and adhesive combine to provide high tensile and shear strength compared to general purpose tapes. Additionally, it allows for printing and illustrations to be seen through the tape. This tape holds under a wide range of application conditions with a minimum amount of tape, leading to lower cost for applications where high tensile strength is a main requirement.
Recommended Applications
- Heavy box closure
- Cross web splicing
- Strapping
