Technical Data
Product Description
June, 2009
Scotch ? Filament Tape 894 is a general-purpose packaging tape reinforced with
continuous glass-yarn filaments that give the tape high tensile strength and low
stretch. The 3M? Scotchpro? Film backing provides excellent abrasion and
moisture resistance. The aggressive packaging-grade adhesive is specifically
formulated to provide an excellent balance of high initial adhesion and long-term
holding power to most surfaces. When used in bundling, reinforcing, or coil tabbing
applications, where high temperatures and/or oily surfaces are involved, tests should
be conducted per the individual application before extensive use to determine the
tape’s suitability.

Features
? Protects adhesive from sunlight and
ultraviolet rays.
? Good handling.
? High tensile strength combined with
low stretch.
? Good initial and high shear adhesion.
? Black film backing makes outdoor
storage possible.
? Tough film backing protects the
filaments and adhesive to provide
longer functional tape performance.
? Good handling characteristics saves
time through ease of dispensing and
tape application.
? High tensile strength allows use of less
tape in many applications and lowers
cost per application.
? Adhesive provides good holding under
a wide range of application conditions
with minimum amount of tape.
? Holds instantly with minimum
rubdown.
