Product Description

Strapping Tape 8898 is a general-purpose tape with a tensilized polypropylene
film backing and pressure-sensitive synthetic adhesive. The tape is designed for a wide
v ariety of industrial and packaging applications. Some typical applications include
bundling, reinforcing, strapping, box closing, and appliance securing. The backing
provides proper stiffness and excellent abrasion, moisture, and scuff resistance. The
pressure-sensiti v e adhesive is specifically formulated to provide balanced adhesion to
most fiberboard surf aces and a wide variety of plastic and metal surfaces. We suggest
tests be completed to determine suitability particularly on surfaces other than those
pre viously mentioned.
