Filament Tape 893 is a general-purpose packaging tape
reinforced along its length with continuous glass-yarn filaments, which give
the tape high tensile strength. The transparent polypropylene backing
provides excellent abrasion, moisture and scuff resistance. The adhesive is
an aggressive rubber adhesive specifically formulated to provide balanced
performance having both high adhesion and long term holding power.

Application Techniques
An extensive line of application equipment including hand-held manual
dispensers and the automatic 3M-Matic™ L-Clip Applicator S867 are
available. Application of Scotch
®
Filament Tape 893 is most easily
accomplished at room temperature.
At colder temperatures, approaching 32°F (0°C), the adhesive becomes stiff.
Once applied, Scotch® Filament Tape 893 performs well throughout the
normal temperature ranges typically encountered in shipping and storage
environments.
Store behind present stock. Store in a clean, dry place. Temperature of
40-80°F (4-26°C) and 40-50% relative humidity are recommended.
Rotate your stock.
To obtain best performance, use this product within 24 months
