Our Scotch® bi-directional filament tape 8959 is a high strength, general purpose, clear fiberglass reinforced tape with a synthetic rubber resin adhesive ideal for heavy box closure and cross web splicing. This tape resists center seam splitting in RSC box closure applications. Our synthetic rubber resin adhesive provides high adhesion to most surfaces. Constructed with continuous fiberglass yarns in both the longitudinal and transverse directions, 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. 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. 3M™ 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, our 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.
