Features
? Tape has been tested and found to meet the requirements of ASTM D 6123 /
D 6123M-97. 3M does not test each lot for compliance to this specification.
? Rubber adhesive for instant adhesion that sticks easily and helps reduce labor.
? Good holding power to help resist lifting or curling.
? Crepe paper backing that is conformable to maintain integrity when formed
around a corner.
? Easy tear and sliver resistant.
? Good paint hold-out that resists bleed-through.
? Controlled unwind.
? Dispenses evenly and is less likely to tear off roll so works well on paper dispensers.
? Tape may become very difficult to remove if subjected to prolonged outdoor
exposure.
