Product Description
Scotch
®
Filament Tape 8919 is a high-performance transparent tape reinforced with
continuous high strength glass filaments. The tape is designed to hold appliance
parts together during manufacture and shipping. The heavy 3M™ Scotchpar™ film
backing provides greater stiffness and excellent abrasion, moisture, and scuff
resistance. The pressure sensitive adhesive is specifically formulated to provide high
adhesion, clean removal, and stain resistance on most finishes.

Balanced adhesive.
Smooth adhesive.
Glass filament reinforcement.
Less flexible tape.
Abrasion- and moisture-resistant.
Printable by the Print-Seal
process.
High shear strength. Good initial
adhesion. Generally stain
resistant.
Minimum odor.
Stain resistant to most synthetic
enamel and lacquer finishes.*
Nearly complete contact with
application surface.
• High tensile strength and impact resistance
coupled with low stretch under stress.
• Easy to dispense and handle when used with
3M dispensers.
• Excellent protection of filaments and adhesive
to allow use of less tape.
• Provides advertising and warning capability
when printed.
• Good holding under stress with a minimum
amount of tape and application effort, yet
allows easy removal without excessive adhesive
residue, or stain. Allows tape to be used on or
in appliances during storage and shipping.
• Doors and other movable parts are held
securely in place to guard against damage.
*Tests should be conducted when staining is a factor.

Application Techniques
An extensive line of application equipment including hand-held manual dispensers,
stationary definite-length dispensers, and an automatic L-Clip applicator is
available. Application of Scotch
®
Filament Tape 8919 is most easily accomplished
at room temperature. At lower temperatures, approaching 32°F (0°C), the adhesive
becomes firm. Once applied, Scotch
®
Tape 8919 performs well throughout the
normal temperature ranges typically encountered by packaged products in shipping
and storage environments.
