Bsc Preferred T913890M Heavy Duty Strapping Tape 8 Mil

Product Description

The BSC PREFERRED T913890M is an extra heavy-duty strapping tape engineered for the most demanding bundling and packaging applications. It features an 8 mil heavy polyester backing reinforced with glass yarn filaments and a natural rubber adhesive system. This construction delivers very good adhesion to oily metal surfaces, which makes it a reliable choice where standard tapes fail. The tape also provides excellent resistance to moisture, abrasion, and scuffing. It is sold in cases of 72 rolls and is a direct equivalent to part number S-10189. Packaging and shipping professionals, warehouse crews, and industrial maintenance technicians are the primary installers and users.

This tape is suited for heavy-duty bundling, strapping, and unitizing tasks in industrial, commercial, and distribution center environments. The glass yarn filament reinforcement prevents tearing and stretching under load, making it appropriate for securing heavy or irregularly shaped items. Its oily metal adhesion capability makes it a practical choice for manufacturing floors and MRO applications where surface contamination is common. The natural rubber adhesive bonds aggressively to a wide range of substrates. A black variant is available under part number T915890B for applications requiring color differentiation or UV-light concealment.

Installation Notes

Apply to clean, dry surfaces whenever possible for maximum bond strength, though the adhesive is formulated to perform on lightly oiled metal when surface cleaning is not practical. Use a tape gun or dispenser rated for reinforced strapping tape to avoid hand fatigue and ensure consistent tension. Follow applicable facility safety guidelines when securing heavy loads for transport or storage. Store unused rolls in a cool, dry location away from direct sunlight to preserve adhesive performance.
