3783
***Discontinued*** CTS Tape
Discontinued 3783 is a 2.5 mil, biaxially oriented polypropylene film with a hot melt, rubber-resin adhesive. It is a high performance tape for a wide range of environments and applications. 3783 has a heavy duty, conformable backing with the most consistent pressure sensitive hot melt adhesive system available. It is a high performance packaging tape used for box sealing and specially designed for use with the 3M-Matic™ Continuous Taping Systems (CTS) stand. Application is most easily accomplished at room temperature. At colder temperatures, approaching 32°F, the adhesive becomes more firm. Once applied, it performs well throughout the normal temperature ranges typically encountered by packaged products in shipping and storage environments.
