Pressure Sensitive Tapes
Description
Taperite -Tensilized is highly oriented in the machine (MD) direction. Unlike BOPP film, which has a higher degree of transverse (TD) direction strength, Taperite has a high degree of strength in the machine (MD) direction, where you want the strength.
Features
- High MD tensile
- Low shrinkage
- Wide range of gauges and colors
- Low MD elongation
Standard Colors
- Clear matte
- Black
- White
- Blue
- Ivory
- Yellow
Applications
- Pressure Sensitive tapes
- Bundling and Strapping of heavy items
- Tear and Identification tapes
