Scotch 8959 Filament Tape for First Aid Kits
This clear polypropylene filament tape measures 50 mm wide by 50 m long with a 5.7 mil thickness. It uses a hot melt synthetic rubber adhesive rated at 100 oz/in adhesion strength and 150 lb/in tensile strength. The roll fits a 3 in core and carries an 18 month shelf life. It meets ISO 9001 and ASTM D3759, D3652, D3330 standards.
Replaces standard cloth
Upgrade when you need higher tensile strength and moisture resistant backing for securing heavy dressings or splints. The jump is worth it if your current tape fails under tension or peels in humid conditions. Standard duty rating suits routine clinical and field use. Operates reliably between 40 and 80 degrees Fahrenheit.
Check your kit dimensions and storage temperature
Verify the 50 mm width fits your dispenser or pouch and that the 50 m length matches your restocking cycle. Ensure storage stays within the 40 to 80 degree Fahrenheit performance range to maintain adhesive integrity. Confirm the 3 in core diameter suits your holder. Not for buyers who need a sterile sealed dressing tape.

Questions about this item
What core diameter does the 8959 filament tape roll fit?
The roll is wound on a 3 in core, so it fits any dispenser or holder that accepts a standard 3 in core.
How do I apply the 8959 tape so the 150 lb/in tensile strength holds?
Press the tape firmly onto a clean, dry surface at room temperature; the hot-melt synthetic rubber adhesive needs full contact to reach its rated 100 oz/in adhesion.
When should I replace a roll of 8959 tape stored in the case?
The manufacturer lists an 18 mo shelf life; after that period the adhesive and backing may degrade, so rotate stock and discard rolls past the date.
