What is filament tape?<\/h2>\r\nFilament tape is commonly made with a BOPP backing reinforced<\/strong> with glass filament <\/strong>inserts, and a layer of hot melt adhesive with strong adhesive properties:\r\n

\r\n \t
• BOPP (biaxially oriented polypropylene) is a special polypropylene with particular properties, such as increased clarity and strength<\/strong> and easy coating<\/strong>. BOPP is ideal to help filament tape in withstanding mechanical stress and prevent breaking, thanks to its excellent tensile strength.<\/li>\r\n \t
• In filament tape, fiberglass inserts are embedded into the backing to increase its strength and resistance<\/strong>.<\/li>\r\n \t
• Hot melt adhesive is known for its high holding power<\/strong> and resistance to removal<\/strong>. Using this type of adhesive in filament tape further improve its prominent qualities.<\/li>\r\n<\/ul>\r\n \r\n

  Filament tape uses<\/h2>\r\nFilament tape is used to wrap cardboard boxes<\/strong>, heavy-duty packaging<\/strong> applications, bundle<\/strong> items together, pallet<\/strong> unitizing and general reinforcement<\/strong> applications in any sector.\r\n\r\nAccording to the weight and size of the objects to bundle, different grade<\/strong> filament tapes can be employed, from the lightest and economic ones to the toughest products. For particularly heavy applications, a special filament tape<\/strong> has been introduced with a cross weave<\/em> filament structure<\/strong> that further increases its holding properties.\r\n

  How to use filament tape<\/span><\/h3>\r\nTo use filament tape you just have to unwind it and wrap it around the box or the bundle of objects you have to fasten. To make its holding power effective, make sure to tighten the tape firmly<\/strong>, with multiple turns<\/strong>.\r\n\r\n \r\n

  PPM filament tape<\/h2>\r\nPPM Industries produces a complete range of filament tapes<\/strong> for both light and medium or heavy-duty applications. The range includes three regular filament tapes and a cross weave tape for particularly difficult applications.\r\n\r\n1008<\/span><\/a>. Entry-level product, recommended for light and medium-duty uses, suited for both consumer and professional applications.\r\n1010<\/a><\/span>. An improved version of PPM 1008: it guarantees enhanced properties for all the applications. Use it for medium-duty professional applications.<\/span>\r\n1020<\/a>.<\/span> The highest grade of the filament tape range, ideal for high-duty professional applications for bundling and fastening objects and as a general reinforcement.<\/span>\r\n1210<\/a>.<\/span> Cross weave<\/em> filament tape, ideal for heavy-duty applications, especially when irregular objects are concerned.","link":"https:\/\/www.ppmindustries.com\/en\/c\/filament-tapes","parent":0},{"id":50,"name":"Paper Packaging Tapes","description":"PPM paper packaging tapes are optimized for manual usage, they are hand-tearable and easy to unwind and offer a good tensile strength.
