Duct Tape 3M 89597550

The 3M 89597550 duct tape is a transparent, indoor-use tape manufactured from biaxially oriented polypropylene (BOPP) reinforced with fiberglass. Designed for general-purpose bundling, fastening, packaging and sealing, this roll provides a balance of tensile strength and dimensional stability for tasks that require a reliable, low-profile adhesive solution. The tape is 75 mm wide, 0.15 mm thick and supplied in 50 m rolls; packs contain multiple rolls for continued use.

Advantages

The fiber reinforcement combined with BOPP film gives the tape a high tensile strength of 30 N/mm² while maintaining moderate elongation at break (10%), which reduces the risk of overstretching during application. Its transparent appearance makes it suitable where visibility of underlying surfaces or labels is important. The material composition ensures consistent unwinding and clean tearing for many indoor sealing and bundling tasks.

Suitable for

• Bundling and securing lightweight to medium-weight items
• Sealing boxes and packages for storage or transit
• Temporary fastening and holding of materials in place
• Masking or protecting labels and surfaces while keeping them visible

Key specifications

• Material: Biaxially oriented polypropylene (BOPP) with fiberglass reinforcement
• Color: Transparent
• Length: 50 m per roll
• Width: 75 mm
• Thickness: 0.15 mm
• Tensile strength: 30 N/mm²
• Elongation at break: 10%
• Packaging: multiple rolls per pack (12 pieces)

How to use

Ensure the surfaces to be taped are clean, dry and free from dust or grease for optimal adhesion. Measure and cut the required length from the roll, and apply pressure along the tape to secure adhesion and remove air pockets. For bundling, wrap the tape evenly around the items and overlap the leading edge for a secure finish. For packaging and sealing, press the tape firmly along seams and edges.

Usage recommendations

Store rolls in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight and heat sources to preserve adhesive performance. Use the tape for indoor applications and avoid prolonged outdoor exposure, as the material and adhesive are optimized for interior conditions. When sealing heavy or irregularly shaped items, consider supplementary strapping or stronger tapes designed for higher loads.
