GENERAL INFORMATION

3743 is a 2.6 mil, BOPP (Biaxilly Oriented Polypropylene) film with hot melt rubber resin adhesive. It is primarily used for box sealing, splicing, recouperage and other demanding packaging applications. It may be applied to fiberboard boxes at temperatures of down to 40°F. Once applied it should perform well on fiberboard boxes subjected to temperatures below 32°F.

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.
