FEATURES

ADVANTAGES

Good protection of filaments and adhesive to provide longer package life
Assures maximum package performance for limited outdoor use
Saves time through ease of dispensing and handling versus glues and strapping
Good handling under a wide range of application conditions with minimum amount of tape
Reduced case closure failures

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

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.
