3M 7000096086 Bi-directional Filament Tape 8959 50mm X 50m

Product Description

The 3M 7000096086 is a bi-directional filament tape designed for heavy-duty bundling, strapping, box closure, and reinforcing applications. The tape features a clear polypropylene backing reinforced with glass yarn filaments running in both directions, giving it a tensile strength of 150 pounds per inch of width. A synthetic rubber resin adhesive bonds the tape securely to cartons, packages, and a wide range of industrial surfaces. The combination of cross-directional reinforcement and high tensile strength makes this tape well suited for demanding packaging and unitizing tasks where standard carton tape would fail under load.

This tape is used in distribution centers, manufacturing facilities, and warehouse environments where heavy cartons, bundled materials, or palletized goods require secure closure or reinforcement. It is commonly applied by packaging technicians and shipping personnel handling high-weight or irregularly shaped loads. The transparent backing keeps package labeling and barcodes visible after application, which is useful in high-throughput shipping operations.

Key Features

• 150 pounds per inch tensile strength supports heavy-duty strapping and bundling
• Glass yarn filaments run in both directions for bi-directional reinforcement
• Clear polypropylene backing keeps labels and barcodes visible
• Synthetic rubber resin adhesive for strong adhesion to cartons and packaging surfaces
• 50mm width and 50 m roll length suitable for high-volume packaging operations

Compatibility

Designed as a heavy-duty reinforcing and strapping tape for general industrial and commercial packaging applications involving carton closure, bundling, and unitizing of boxed or palletized goods.

Installation Notes

Apply to clean, dry surfaces free of dust, oil, or moisture for best adhesion. Standard handheld or bench-mount tape dispensers sized for 50mm width rolls are recommended for consistent application. No special tools or trade licensing are required, though proper tensioning is important when using this tape for strapping or unitizing to achieve rated tensile performance. Cut with scissors or a dispenser blade — do not tear by hand, as the filament reinforcement resists tearing.
