Product Description Scotch® Filament Tape 8981 is a high-performance packaging tape reinforced with continuous glass-yarn filaments that give the tape very high tensile strength and low stretch. The clear 3M™ Scotchpro™ backing provides excellent abrasion and moisture resistance. The aggressive packaging-grade adhesive is specifically formulated to provide an excellent balance of initial adhesion and long-term holding power to most fiberboard surfaces, including recycled and printed fiberboard surfaces. Technical Data June, 2009 Typical Physical Properties Note: The following technical information and data should be considered representative or typical only, and should not be used for specification purposes.

  • Good handling.
  • Printable.
  • High tensile strength combined with low stretch.
  • Allows printing and illustrations to be seen through the tape.
  • High shear and good initial adhesion.
  • Very good long-term holding power.
  • 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.
  • When printed, the tape provides advertising, warning, and labeling capability.
  • High tensile strength allows the use of less tape in many applications and lowers the cost per application.
  • Good clarity of artwork and important messages even when covered by the tape.
  • Adhesive provides very good holding under wide range of application conditions with minimum amount of tape.
  • Holds instantly with minimum rubdown.
  • Boxes remain securely closed through normal warehouse time cycles.

Storage Conditions Store behind present stock. Store in a clean, dry place. Temperature of 40-80°F (4-26°C) and 40-50% relative humidity are recommended. Rotate your stock. Available Widths Available Lengths 1.4 in. (36 mm), 1.9 in. (48 mm) Core Size (ID): 3 in. (76.2 mm) Available Sizes Application Techniques An extensive line of application equipment including hand-held manual dispensers and the 3M-Matic™ Semi-Automatic L-Clip Applicator S857 is available. Application of Scotch ® Filament Tape 8981 is most easily accomplished at room temperature because at colder temperatures, approaching 32°F (0°C), the adhesive becomes firmer. Once applied, Scotch ® Tape 8981 performs well throughout the normal temperature ranges typically encountered by packaged products in shipping and storage environments.
