Scotch® Filament Tape 8981

High performance. Polypropylene backing reinforced with continuous glass yarn. Typical 380 lb/inch width tensile strength. High shear adhesion for low unit cost, heavy-duty closure of hard-to-adhere or high recycled content fiberboard.

Polypropylene backing is easy to handle and dispense and provides excellent resistance to nicks, abrasion and moisture. Specially formulated hot melt adhesive bonds with exceptional balance of adhesion properties to fiberboard surfaces.
