Bsc Preferred T9178959 Bi-directional Filament Tape 18pk

Product Description

The BSC PREFERRED T9178959 is a bi-directional filament tape designed for heavy-duty strapping, bundling, and reinforcement applications. Constructed with a clear polypropylene backing reinforced with continuous glass yarn filaments running in both directions, the tape delivers high tensile strength in multiple axes. At 5.7 mil total thickness, it resists abrasion, moisture, and scuffing through demanding handling and shipping environments. A synthetic rubber adhesive provides aggressive initial tack combined with long-term holding power, making it suitable for palletizing, carton closure, and unitizing loads. This tape is sold in a case quantity of 18 rolls.

This tape is used in packaging and shipping operations where standard tape lacks the tensile strength needed to secure heavy or irregularly shaped loads. Typical applications include reinforcing corrugated cartons, strapping lumber or pipe bundles, and securing wrapped pallets. The bi-directional filament reinforcement handles both longitudinal and lateral stress, which makes it a practical choice for distribution centers, warehouses, and industrial shipping departments. It is compatible with standard filament tape dispensers.

Installation Notes

Apply to clean, dry surfaces for maximum adhesion. Ensure surfaces are free of dust, oil, or loose particles before application. Use an appropriate filament tape dispenser to maintain consistent tension and a clean cut. Store rolls in a cool, dry environment away from direct sunlight to preserve adhesive performance.
