GENERAL INFORMATION

314 is a 2.1 mil, BOPP (biaxially oriented polypropylene) film with pressure sensitive acrylic adhesive. Its application is most easily accomplished at room temperature. However, it may be applied to fiberboard boxes at temperatures down to 40°F. It is a box sealing tape with gapped flap regular slotted containers (RSC's). There is adhesive along the two edges with uncoated film in the middle. 314 is designed to meet the box sealing needs only for loads which are palletized and unitized throughout their entire distribution cycle.

The physical properties listed are typical values and are not to be considered as specifications. Our suggestions for use are based on tests we believe to be reliable. However, the purchaser must carry out their own tests to determine the suitability of the product for their internal use. Information is given in good faith, but without warranty.
It is essential, as with all pressure-sensitive tapes, that the surface to which the tape is applied be clean, dry and free of grease and oil.
Shelf life from date of manufacture is based on the product being stored at 70°F(21°C) / 50% relative humidity out of direct sunlight.
Specification compliance is dynamic and should only be used as a general guide. Always confirm that the tape you are interested in currently complies with all specification requirements. Please verify that the product number that you select is available in the proper size and color to meet your specification.
