Scotch® Filament Tape 893

Scotch® Filament Tape 893 is a general-purpose packaging tape reinforced with continuous glass-yarn filaments that give the tape high tensile strength and low stretch. The clear 3M™ Scotchpro™ backing provides excellent abrasion and moisture resistance. The aggressive packaging-grade adhesive is specifically formulated to provide an excellent balance of high initial adhesion and long-term holding power to most fiberboard surfaces. When used in bundling, reinforcing, or coil tabbing applications, where high temperatures and/or oily surfaces are involved, tests should be conducted per the individual application before extensive use to determine the tape's suitability.

• Good handling.
• Printable.
• High tensile strength combined with low stretch.
• Allows printing and illustrations to be seen through the tape.
• High shear and good initial adhesion.
• Good long-term holding power.
• Tough film backing protects the filaments and adhesive to provide longer functional tape performance.
• Good handling characteristics saves time through ease of dispensing and tape application.
• When printed, the tape provides advertising, warning, and labeling capability.
• High tensile strength allows use of less tape in many applications and lowers cost per application.
• Adhesive provides good holding under a wide range of application conditions with minimum amount of tape.
• Holds instantly with minimum rubdown.

An extensive line of application equipment including hand-held manual dispensers and an automatic L-clip applicator, is available. Application of Scotch® Filament Tape 893 is most easily accomplished at room temperature. At colder temperatures, approaching 32°F (0°C), the adhesive becomes firmer. Once applied, Scotch® Tape 893 performs well throughout the normal temperature ranges typically encountered by packaged products in shipping and storage environments.
