Technical Information

3M Scotch 898 is a 6.6 mil clear filament tape reinforced with continuous fiberglass filaments running the length of the tape, providing exceptionally high tensile strength for bundling, palletizing, strapping, and securing heavy loads in shipping and warehousing operations. The fiberglass reinforcement prevents the tape from elongating or breaking under tension, making it ideal for unitizing heavy items, securing pallet loads, and reinforcing carton edges and closures. The clear backing allows barcode scanning through the tape, and the rubber-based adhesive provides immediate grab on corrugated, plastic, and metal surfaces.
