Adhesive Filament Tape 3M 8915, 55 m length, 18 mm width, transparent

3M Filament Tape 8915 is a transparent reinforced adhesive tape supplied on a 55 m roll with an 18 mm width. The tape features glass filament reinforcement embedded in the adhesive layer to deliver high tensile strength and resistance to splitting. It is designed for bundling, parcel reinforcement and unitizing in packaging and shipping operations where secure strapping and reinforced sealing are required.

Advantages

The tape combines a clear backing with longitudinal filaments to provide visible, high-strength reinforcement while maintaining a low-profile appearance. Its adhesive formulation offers reliable initial tack and long-term holding power on corrugated cardboard and many other packaging substrates. The filament reinforcement increases tear resistance and prevents tearing along the tape length under tension, making it suitable for heavy-duty applications and repetitive handling.

Suitable for

• Bundling long or irregular items for storage and transport
• Reinforcing parcel edges and seams to prevent splitting
• Unitizing multiple boxes on a pallet for secure shipment
• Temporary strapping where metal or plastic straps are not required
• Applications requiring a transparent, low-visibility reinforcement

Key specifications

• Length: 55 m per roll
• Width: 18 mm
• Backing: transparent film with embedded glass filaments
• Reinforcement: longitudinal glass filaments for high tensile strength
• Adhesive: pressure-sensitive adhesive for strong initial tack and durable adhesion
• Typical uses: heavy-duty bundling, parcel reinforcement, unitizing

How to use

Ensure bonding surfaces are clean, dry and free of oil or dust. Pull the tape from the roll and apply along the area to be reinforced, maintaining even tension so the filaments align with the applied load. Press the tape firmly onto the surface to activate the pressure-sensitive adhesive; use a roller or firm hand pressure for best contact. For bundling, wrap the tape around the items with adequate overlap and secure the end by pressing firmly. For parcel reinforcement, apply strips along seams and edges where added strength is required.

Usage recommendations

Store the tape in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight and extreme temperatures. For optimal performance, use at room temperature and apply to surfaces that are clean and structurally sound. Test adhesion on non-critical samples if bonding to unfamiliar substrates. Dispose of used cores and leftover tape according to local waste regulations.
