Scotch Box Sealing Tape 313 is a high performance packing tape that is suitable for hard to stick surfaces and cold temperature applications. The polypropylene film backing is easy to handle and resists abrasion, moisture and scuffing. The consistent and reliable backing easily conforms around edges and on rough surfaces for a tight seal.

3M UHMW-PE Film Tape 5423 is a thick, general-purpose polyethylene tape made for high-impact, abrasion, and sliding applications. Its UPMW-PE (ultra-high molecular weight polyethylene) thermoplastic backing enables its low-friction and resistance to chemicals, abrasion, and vibration in demanding situations. The exceptional hardness and slick surface is ideal for maintaining a gliding, ‘slip-plane’ effect and reducing noises like squeaks and rattles. Furthering its workability, 3M UHMW-PE Film Tape 5423 is mounted on a liner, allowing the user to die-cut shapes to exact specifications. Between its low-friction coefficient, built-in liner, and long-lasting protection, this slick-surfaced tape excels in the aerospace, automotive, printing, and MRO industries.

For heat shielding applications such as wrapping over and along thermal insulation, use 3M High Temperature Aluminum Foil Tape 433L. This dead soft aluminum foil tape is coated with a clear silicone pressure sensitive adhesive that bonds well to a variety of surfaces and excels in high temperature applications, where other adhesive tapes may fail.

3M Durable Floor Marking Tape 971 is specially designed to withstand heavy traffic such as scuffing from pallets and heavy equipment. It uses a tough, low-profile backing to resist curling and edge lift, prolonging the life of floor marking arrangements. This tape uses rubber adhesive to form a strong bond and provide clean, one-piece removal, even after extended use. Its linerless composition gives you the freedom to apply it by hand or using the 3M Lane Marking Applicator M1. Ideal for 5S lean manufacturing initiatives, a wide variety of vivid colors keep industrial floors organized with color-coded efficiency. Between long-lasting construction and vibrant colors, 3M Durable Floor Marking Tape 971 is ready to optimize floors in demanding shipping, manufacturing, and workshop settings.

Scotch Filament Tape 898 is an ideal solution for full overlap L-clip box closures, bundling pipe or reinforcing large bulk containers. Filament-reinforced polypropylene backing provides excellent tensile strength in addition to abrasion, moisture, scuff and break resistance, even when nicked or punctured. To allow easier application, this tape is engineered to dispense consistently without curling. Its multi-layer synthetic-rubber adhesive system prevents delamination and bonds well to a variety of common packaging materials such as corrugated cardboard, fiberboard, plastic, and metals. Reinforcing glass filaments, powerful adhesive, and durable overall construction allow Scotch Filament Tape 898 to excell in harsh shipping environments.
