3 Scotch (R) Filament Tape 898 Technical Data July, 2009 Product Description Scotch(R) Filament Tape 898 is a high-performance transparent packaging tape reinforced along its length with continuous glass-yarn filaments, which give the tape very high tensile strength. The transparent 3MTM ScotchproTM backing provides excellent abrasion, moisture and scuff resistance. The adhesive is an aggressive packaging adhesive specifically formulated to provide balanced performance having both high adhesion and long term holding power.
