3M 7000049643 Scotch 605 Transparent Packaging Tape

Product Description

The 3M 7000049643 is a light duty transparent polypropylene film tape in the Scotch 605 series, engineered for general packaging and cold temperature applications. The tape features a 2.5 mil total thickness with a 1.6 mil polypropylene backing that resists moisture, chemicals, and UV exposure. Its clarity and long aging characteristics make it a reliable choice for packaging operations where label readability and tape integrity matter over time. Licensed contractors and packaging line operators working in refrigerated or cold-storage environments will find this tape maintains adhesion and flexibility where standard packaging tapes may fail.

This tape is suited for light duty packaging tasks in both ambient and cold temperature settings, including cold storage warehouses, food distribution facilities, and general shipping operations. The polypropylene backing conforms well to box surfaces and irregular contours, providing consistent coverage. Compliance with US FDA 21 CFR 175.105 makes it appropriate for use in indirect food contact packaging environments, broadening its application range in food service and distribution operations.

Installation Notes

This tape is applied by hand or with a standard tape dispenser and does not require specialized tools or licensed trade installation. Ensure surfaces are clean, dry, and free of dust or oils before application for best adhesion. In cold temperature environments, allow the tape to acclimate briefly if transitioning from extreme ambient conditions. Do not stretch the tape beyond its natural conformability during application, as this may reduce bond strength.
