FEATURES

Std Roll Length: 60.00 yards
Pressure-sensitive adhesive
Black backing
Extra glass reinforcement
Balanced adhesive
Protects tape from sunlight and ultra violet rays
Resistant to: abrasion and moisture
Good handling
Printable by the print seal process
Very high tensile strength
Good initial adhesion
Excellent aging before and after application

ADVANTAGES

Storage outdoors is possible
Excellent protection of filaments and adhesive to provide longer package life
Maximize package performance when exposed to outdoor and humid environments
Saves time through ease of dispensing and handling versus glue and strapping
Low unit cost on applications where high tensile strength is main requirement by using less tape
Good holding under a wide range of application conditions including outdoor weathering

APPLICATIONS

Hand held dispensers and an automatic L-Clip applicator is available
Application is most easily accomplished at room temperature
Lower temperatures, approaching 32°F, the adhesive becomes firm
Once applied, the tape performs well throughout the normal temperature ranges encountered by packaged products in shipping and storage environments, even when exposed to moderate amounts of sunlight

GENERAL INFORMATION

An 8.0 mil. high performance black packaging tape reinforced with continuous glass yarn filaments, which give the tape very high tensile strength. The black Scotchpar™ backing provides outdoor weathering, abrasion, moisture, and scuff resistance. The adhesive is an aggressive packaging adhesive specifically formulated to provide balanced performance, having both high adhesion and long term holding power.

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.
