Filament Tape
A 6.3 mil high performance, transparent packaging tape reinforced along its length with continuous glass yarn filaments, which give the tape very high tensile strength. The Scotchpar™ backing provides excellent abrasion, moisture and scuff resistance. The adhesive is a very aggressive packaging adhesive, specially formulated to meet the high demands of sealing corrugated cartons, including those with high recycled content as used in today's packing materials.
