Application Techniques
An extensive line of application equipment is available including portable hand-held
dispensers and stationary definite-length dispensers. Application of Scotch
®
Filament
Tape 8959 is most easily accomplished at room temperature. At colder tempertures,
approaching 32°F (0°C), the adhesive becomes firm. Once applied, Scotch
®
Tape
8959 performs well throughout the normal temperature ranges typically encountered
by packaged products in shipping and storage environments.
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.
