3M 7000088501 Flatback Tape 2517 Medium Brown 36mm X 55m

Product Description

The 3M 7000088501 is a medium brown flatback paper tape designed for general-purpose industrial and packaging applications. Sold as Flatback Tape 2517, it provides reliable adhesion for splicing liner boards, bundling materials, holding components in place, and sealing packaging. The backing delivers good tensile strength rated at 35 lbs. per inch of width and resists moist conditions, making it suitable for demanding production and warehouse environments. At 6.4 mils thick with a temperature use range up to 300 degrees F, this tape holds up in elevated-temperature applications where standard packaging tapes fall short. It is compatible with machine dispensing, supporting high-volume line use.

Flatback Tape 2517 is used in light industrial, manufacturing, and distribution settings. Common applications include kraft paper splicing, carton bundling, and surface protection during transit or storage. The tape is well suited for facilities requiring a reliable, hand-tearable flatback tape that can run through automated dispensing equipment. It is typically specified by maintenance technicians, packaging line operators, and facilities personnel. Each roll measures 36mm wide by 55 meters long.

Installation Notes

Surface should be clean, dry, and free of dust or oils before application to ensure full adhesive contact. When used with machine dispensers, verify the roll width and core size match the dispenser specifications before loading. Apply firm pressure across the tape length after placement to achieve rated adhesion values. Store unused rolls away from direct heat sources and excessive humidity to maintain tape performance.
