3M 7000049627 Water Activated Paper Tape 6141 White 1.5 in

Product Description

The 3M 7000049627 is a light-duty, water-activated paper tape designed for sealing corrugated boxes in non-critical packaging applications. It features a white 35-pound paper backing paired with a gummed, high-tack adhesive derived from a modified cornstarch base. The adhesive activates on contact with water, bonding securely to corrugated surfaces without the need for solvent-based chemistry. Each roll measures 1.5 inches wide by 500 feet long, providing substantial coverage per roll. This tape is suitable for packaging operations in warehouses, distribution centers, and light industrial environments where a reliable, economical carton seal is required.

This tape is used primarily for sealing corrugated shipping boxes in non-critical applications where burst strength and tamper evidence are not primary concerns. It is well suited for general-purpose packaging lines handling standard outbound shipments. The water-activated adhesive creates a firm bond to kraft and corrugated substrates, making it a practical choice for manual taping stations. Packaging professionals and warehouse staff commonly apply this tape using standard water-activated tape dispensers.

Installation Notes

Apply using a water-activated tape dispenser that wets the adhesive surface immediately before application. Ensure the corrugated surface is clean, dry, and free of dust or oils before taping for best bond performance. No cutting tools with heat or solvent are required. Store rolls in a cool, dry environment away from direct moisture to preserve adhesive integrity prior to use.
