Product Description
Scotch
®
Filament Tape 896 is a general-purpose medium tensile strength tape
reinforced with continuous glass-yarn filaments. The white backing provides an
excellent “background” surface for custom-printed tape applications using
“topside” flexographic printing methods and the 3M™ Print Seal™ process.
The aggressive packaging-grade adhesive is specifically formulated to provide
balanced performance, having both high initial adhesion and long-term holding
power to most fiberboard surfaces. Suitable for use in most general-purpose box
closing, bundling, and pallet unitizing applications.

Features
• Abrasion and moisture resistant.
• Good handling.
• Medium tensile strength
combined with low stretch.
• Nick resistant.
• High shear and good initial
adhesion.
• Good protection of filaments
and adhesive to provide longer
package life.
• Saves time through ease of dispensing and
handling when used with 3M dispensers.
• Medium level of tensile strength allows use
of less tape to reduce cost per application.
• Pallet won’t break apart when tape is
nicked and stays tight when impacted.
• Good holding under wide range of
application conditions with minimum
amount of tape.
• Holds instantly with minimum rubdown.

Application Techniques
An extensive line of application equipment including hand-held manual dispensers
is available. Application of Scotch
®
Filament Tape 896 is most easily accomplished
at room temperature. At lower temperatures, approaching 32°F (0°C), the adhesive
becomes firm. Once applied, Scotch
®
Tape 896 performs well throughout the
normal temperature ranges typically encountered by packaged products in shipping
and storage environments.
Storage Conditions
