Product Information
- 3M Scotch 897 Filament Tape is a medium-strength, general-purpose, clear fiberglass-reinforced tape with a synthetic rubber resin adhesive ideal for medium-duty strapping, bundling and reinforcing. Its synthetic rubber resin adhesive provides good adhesion to most surfaces, including a variety of plastics, fiberboard, carpets, natural fibers, and metals.
- Designed with an adhesive that provides good initial adhesion and holds well with minimum rub-down, Scotch Filament Tape 897 is a general purpose solution for a variety of bundling and reinforcing applications. 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 one of the main requirements. Uses and applications include carpet bundling, strapping, box reinforcing and closing, and general packaging.
- 3M Scotch 897 Filament Tape is UL recognized 969 file MH26206, abrasion and moisture resistant; maximizes package performance when exposed to outdoor and humid environments, allows printing and illustrations to be seen through the tape; and has a clear display of graphics, artwork, and other important messages, and other features.
