Product Details
3M™ Scotch® 897 Filament Tape measures 1" x 60 yds. and has a thickness of 5 mil, with 36 rolls per case. This tape is designed with an adhesive that provides good initial adhesion and maintains strong hold with minimal rub-down, making it suitable for a variety of bundling and reinforcing applications. The combination of its backing, filaments, and adhesive results in high tensile and shear strength compared to general-purpose tapes. The tape allows for visibility of printing and illustrations beneath it, which is beneficial for packaging. It holds under a broad range of application conditions while utilizing a minimal amount of tape, thus leading to cost efficiency in instances requiring high tensile strength. Recommended applications for this medium-duty, high-strength tape include carpet bundling, strapping, box reinforcing, and general packaging. The synthetic rubber adhesive bonds easily to most fiberboard, plastics, and metal surfaces, while the glass yarn filaments enhance strength for closing boxes and bundling. Additionally, the tape is resistant to nicks, abrasions, moisture, and scuffing, providing durability, and its transparency allows for clear visibility of box graphics and printed material. The product complies with industry standards and specifications, ensuring reliability and performance.
