Filament Tape
A 6.6 mil. high performance packaging tape reinforced with continuous glass yarn filaments that give the tape very high tensile strength and low stretch. The clear backing provides excellent abrasion and moisture resistance. The aggressive packaging grade adhesive is specifically formulated to provide an excellent balance of initial adhesion and long term holding power to most fiberboard surfaces, including recycled and printed fiberboard surfaces.
