Bi-Directional Reinforcement for Added Strength Constructed with continuous fiberglass yarns in both the longitudinal and transverse directions along with a biaxially oriented polypropylene backing, Scotch® Bi-Directional Filament Tape 8959 provides cut edge protection and resists abrasion and splitting. A synthetic rubber adhesive provides high initial adhesion and holds well with minimum rub-down on most surfaces. Our heavy-duty tape is specifically formulated to provide good adhesion to a wide variety of surfaces, including metal, plastic, and fiberboard. Scotch® Bi-Directional Filament Tape 8959 is an ideal choice for high-strength box reinforcing, heavy-duty sealing, shipping, splicing, and palletizing. The multi-level synthetic-rubber adhesive prevents delamination of fiberglass from backing. Many Uses Use fiberglass strapping tapes where strength is critical. It is ideal for securing loads and sealing packages for shipping and handling. The backing, filaments and adhesive combine to provide high tensile and shear strength compared to general purpose tapes. It allows for printing and illustrations to be seen through the tape. This tape holds under a wide range of application conditions with a minimum amount of tape, leading to lower cost for applications where high tensile strength is a main requirement.
Recommended Applications - Heavy box closure, Cross web splicing, Strapping. The World's Go-To Source for Filament Tapes Since 1946 3Ms line of filament-reinforced tapes and strapping tapes are high strength, reliable and affordable solutions that give you product and package integrity. For closing boxes, stabilizing pallets, bundling and reinforcing; securing appliance components during transport and easy-open tear strips, these high strength tapes provide important benefits for manufacturers of piping, metal products, furniture, appliances, automotive parts, sporting goods, as well as food and beverage processors.
Highlights:- Extra security - with filaments down the length and across the width, tape is difficult to hand-tear in any direction
- Fiberglass filaments run in bi-directional pattern, providing high tensile strength across the width and length of the tape
- Ideal strength for heavy-weight packages and overseas/export packing and shipping
- Aggressive adhesive sticks to fiberboard and other substrates
