FEATURES

Std Roll Length: 60.00 yards
Pressure-sensitive adhesive
Black Scotchpar™ backing
Glass reinforcement
Balanced adhesive characteristics
Smooth adhesive surface
Protects from sunlight and ultraviolet rays
Abrasion and moisture resistant
Good handling
High tensile strength
High shear adhesion
Good initial adhesion
More complete adhesive-to-surface contact puts all the tape to work

ADVANTAGES

Storage outdoor is possible
Protects filaments and adhesive to provide longer package life
Maximizes package performance when exposed to outdoor and humid environments
Saves time through ease of dispensing and handling when used with a 3M dispenser
Uses less tape to lower unit cost on applications where high tensile strength is one of the main requirements
Reduced costs through use of less tape for outdoor application
Holds instantly with minimum rubdown
Holds well under wide range of application conditions, with a minimum amount of tape

APPLICATIONS

Tape is most easily accomplished at room temperature
Lower temperatures approaching 32°F, the adhesive becomes firm
Once applied, tape performs well throughout the normal temperature ranges typically encountered by packaged products in shipping and storage environments, even when exposed to moderate amounts of sunlight

GENERAL INFORMATION

A 6.0 mil. industrial grade, black packaging tape reinforced with continuous glass yarn filaments, which give the tape high tensile strength. The black backing provides outdoor weathering, abrasion, moisture, and scuff resistance. This tape has an aggressive packaging adhesive specifically formulated to provide balance 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.
