Decker Tape Products, Inc. 3/8" x 72 Yd 1.7 Mil Polypropylene Tape Easy Tear Case of 96 Rolls

3/8" x 72 Yd Polypropylene Tape Case

This case contains 96 rolls of 1.7 mil polypropylene tape measuring 3/8 inches wide by 72 yards long. It uses a rubber adhesive system suited to office tasks, gift wrapping, and bundling fruit baskets or flower bouquets. The film is extra clear and features an easy-tear design for hand application without a dispenser. Builders needing wider rolls or heavier-duty sealing should look elsewhere.

Rubber adhesive temperature and strength limits

The rubber adhesive functions between 45 and 120 degrees Fahrenheit, so cold-storage or high-heat environments may reduce bond reliability. Tensile strength is rated at 22 lbs per inch with adhesion of 44 ounces per inch, and the film stretches up to 165 percent before breaking. These figures define the practical load and temperature ceiling for the tape. Users requiring performance outside this range cannot rely on this product.

Easy-tear hand application and common issues

The easy-tear feature lets operators tear strips by hand, speeding up packing lines and gift-wrap stations. Misalignment during rapid tearing can leave jagged edges that snag on the next pull. Rubber adhesive may transfer residue if left on surfaces for extended periods, especially near the upper temperature limit. Cold hands in winter can also make the adhesive feel less tacky on first contact.
