Scotch Bi-Directional Filament Tape 8959 is a high strength, general purpose, clear fiberglass-reinforced tape with a synthetic rubber resin adhesive ideal for heavy box closure and cross web splicing. This tape resists center-seam splitting in RSC box closure applications. The synthetic rubber resin adhesive provides high adhesion to most surfaces.

  • Heavy-duty, cross directional, high strength tape for bundling, reinforcing and pallet unitizing applications
  • Bi-directionally fiberglass reinforced tape provides cut and tear resistance in machine direction and cross direction
  • Synthetic rubber adhesive bonds easily to most surfaces with high initial adhesion
  • Transparency provides clear visibility of box graphics, printing and illustrations
  • Able to withstand rough shipping and handling conditions

PRODUCT FAQ

  1. What size is the Scotch® Bi-Directional Filament Tape 8959 Clear, and how many rolls come in a case?

    The tape measures at 48 inches by 180 yards and comes with one roll per case.

  2. How strong is this tape, exactly?

    This particular product is built to be very tough. It has been tested under demanding conditions where tensile strength and shock resistance are critical performance factors.

  3. Can I use 3M's Bi-Directional Filament Tape for outdoor purposes?

    Absolutely! Our tapes have been engineered using highly durable materials that can stand up to most challenging weather conditions such as high temperatures, humidity, exposure to UV light ,etc.

  4. Will the adhesive leave any residue when removed from various surfaces such as plastic or cardboard boxes?

    No worries there - our adhesive is designed specifically not to leave behind any sticky residue when it's peeled off. And on top of that, it bonds very well especially with those hard-to-stick-to surfaces so you'll get your work done right the first time around!

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
