Scotch® Filament Tape 8988

High performance. Polypropylene backing reinforced with continuous glass yarn along the length for a typical 380 lb/inch width tensile strength. Instant adhesion for fast heavy-duty closure on fiberboard with high recycled content.

Polypropylene backing is easy to handle and dispense and provides excellent resistance to nicks, abrasion and moisture. Specially formulated hot melt adhesive bonds instantly to most fiberboard surfaces. Excellent aging on fiberboard with high recycled content.
