Bsc Preferred T9178981 Reinforced Strapping Tape 6.6 Mil

Product Description

The BSC PREFERRED T9178981 is a heavy-duty reinforced strapping tape designed for demanding packaging and shipping applications. It features a clear polypropylene backing reinforced with glass yarn filaments and bonded with a synthetic rubber adhesive. At 6.6 mil thickness, the tape delivers strong holding power on fiberboard surfaces, including recycled and printed fiberboard cartons. The construction resists abrasion and moisture, making it suitable for warehouse, distribution, and industrial packaging environments. It is applied by shipping and receiving personnel wherever secure, long-lasting carton closure or bundling is required. Sold as a case of 24 rolls.

This tape is well suited for sealing and reinforcing corrugated and fiberboard cartons in both standard and high-volume shipping operations. Its compatibility with recycled and printed fiberboard surfaces makes it a practical choice for facilities that process returned or reused packaging. The moisture-resistant adhesive maintains bond integrity in humid storage areas or during transit through varying climate conditions. The glass yarn reinforcement prevents tearing and stretching under load, providing consistent performance across repetitive packaging workflows.

Installation Notes

Apply to clean, dry surfaces free of dust, oil, or loose fibers for maximum adhesion. No tools are required for hand application, though a tape dispenser is recommended for high-volume use. Ensure the carton surface is fully closed and aligned before applying tape to achieve full bond strength. Store unused rolls in a cool, dry location away from direct sunlight to preserve adhesive performance.
