Product Description
Ju ly , 2009
Scotch ? 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 3M? Scotchpro? 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.
