Product Description

3M™ Scotch® Filament Tape 898 is a high-performance transparent packaging tape reinforced along its length with continuous glass-yarn filaments, providing very high tensile strength. The transparent polypropylene backing offers excellent abrasion, moisture, and scuff resistance. The adhesive is an aggressive packaging adhesive specifically formulated to provide balanced performance with both high adhesion and long-term holding power.
