Medium-strength filament tape for bundling

Scotch 897 is a clear, glass-yarn-reinforced polypropylene tape with a synthetic rubber adhesive. It delivers high tensile and shear strength for medium-duty strapping tasks. The tape adheres well to plastics, fiberboard, carpets, natural fibres and metals with minimal rub-down. A 48 mm by 60 yard roll on a 3-inch core suits general-purpose packaging needs.

Clear backing keeps labels and print visible

The transparent film allows printing, illustrations and barcodes to be read through the tape without removal. Abrasion and moisture resistance help packages withstand outdoor and humid conditions. UL recognised under file MH26206 confirms compliance for relevant safety standards. These traits reduce the need for excess tape while maintaining a secure seal.

5 mil total thickness sets the strength tier

At 5 mils the carrier and adhesive combine to give medium-duty holding power rather than heavy-duty performance. Buyers needing higher tensile loads for palletising or industrial bundling should select a thicker filament tape. The specification also determines how the tape feeds through standard dispensers.

Questions about this item

How often does the 897 filament tape need to be replaced on a high-volume packing line?

Replace the roll when the 60-yard length is exhausted; the synthetic rubber adhesive and glass-yarn backing do not degrade in storage, so no scheduled maintenance is required beyond roll changes.

What limits continuous sealing performance on a heavy carton run?

The 5-mil thickness and medium-strength rating set the tensile ceiling; once the load exceeds the tape's shear strength the seal will give before the adhesive fails.

Does the clear 48 mm tape generate heat or noise when applied all day with a dispenser?

Application is silent and produces no measurable heat; the UL 969-recognized construction stays stable during extended use.
