Product Description

3M™ Scotch® Filament Tape 897 is a medium-strength, general-purpose filament tape reinforced with glass yarn filaments for added strength and durability. Its biaxially oriented polypropylene (BOPP) backing offers excellent abrasion, moisture, and scuff resistance, while the pressure-sensitive synthetic rubber resin adhesive provides strong adhesion to a wide range of surfaces, including fiberboard, plastics, and metals.


Key Features

  • Medium-Duty, High-Strength Tape: Ideal for bundling, reinforcing, and strapping applications.
  • Glass Yarn Filaments: Provide extra tensile strength for secure bundling and strapping.
  • Synthetic Rubber Adhesive: Bonds well to fiberboard, plastics, and non-oily metal surfaces.
  • Durable Backing: Resists abrasions, nicks, moisture, and scuffing.
  • Clear Transparency: Allows graphics, printing, and labels to remain visible.
  • Good Holding Power: Ensures boxes remain securely closed throughout warehouse storage cycles.
  • Easy Handling: Designed for smooth dispensing and easy application.

Recommended Applications

  • Carpet Bundling: Secures rolled carpet for transport and storage.
  • Box Reinforcing and Closing: Adds strength to packaging and sealing applications.
  • General Packaging: Provides additional reinforcement for shipping and storage.
  • Strapping: Used for bundling pipes, rods, or lightweight materials.
