Intertape PE87233WP Foam Packing Tape White 9 Mil

Product Description

The INTERTAPE PE87233WP is a white polyethylene foam packing tape designed for sealing, bundling, patching, seaming, and wrapping applications. Built on a 9 mil thick polyethylene foam backing with a synthetic rubber adhesive, this tape delivers an 18 lb/in tensile strength for reliable hold across a range of packaging and maintenance tasks. Each roll measures 72 mm wide and 33 meters long, making it well suited for high-contact sealing work where conformability and cushioning are needed. HVAC, facilities maintenance, and general trade professionals reach for foam tape when standard film tapes lack the compressibility for irregular surfaces.

This tape is applicable across bundling, color coding, patching, sealing, seaming, and wrapping tasks in both residential and light commercial settings. Its operating temperature range of 20 degrees F to 150 degrees F makes it usable in conditioned spaces, mechanical rooms, and moderate outdoor environments. The white finish supports color-coded labeling and patch work where appearance matters. Typical users include facilities technicians, packaging operations personnel, and trade contractors performing equipment protection or surface patching during installation and service work.

Key Features

• 9 mil polyethylene foam backing provides cushioning and conformability on irregular surfaces
• Synthetic rubber adhesive delivers 18 lb/in tensile strength for secure, lasting bonds
• Rated for use from 20 degrees F to 150 degrees F across a wide range of environments
• 72 mm wide format covers broad surface areas efficiently in sealing and patching tasks
• 33 meter roll length reduces changeover frequency in high-volume applications
• White color supports color-coding systems and clean patch appearances

Compatibility

Designed as a general-purpose polyethylene foam tape suitable for sealing, bundling, patching, seaming, and wrapping applications across packaging, facilities maintenance, and trade installation workflows.

Installation Notes

Surface preparation is critical before application — clean, dry, and dust-free surfaces ensure maximum adhesive contact and bond strength. Apply firm, even pressure along the full tape length using a roller or squeegee tool to eliminate air pockets and promote adhesion. Avoid applying below 20 degrees F, as synthetic rubber adhesives lose tack at low temperatures. For structural or load-bearing applications, verify that 18 lb/in tensile strength meets project requirements before use.
