Science and innovation company 3M has unveiled its new Scotch High Tack Box Sealing Tape 375+.
The firm has designed its new industrial packaging tape for box sealing, splicing, recouperage and other related applications.
Upgraded tape adheres to many and varied surfaces
The new packaging tape, which is based on Scotch 375 product, offers a secure seal with quicker sticking and adheres better than other packaging tapes.
The upgraded tape quickly sticks to various surfaces with its consistent, pressure-sensitive, high-performance, hot melt synthetic rubber adhesive system.
Coated with a 10% renewable component adhesive, the tape can adhere to heavier weight boxes and hard-to-stick corrugated boxes with up to 100% recycled content. Its manufacturing quality helps resist splitting and edge tear.
The new tape can stick to a variety of surfaces, including fibreboard. Its quick and easy application can be made by hand using manual dispensers or through 3M-Matic case sealers that offer economic automation for easy sealing.
To promote a manufacturer’s or retailer’s brand, the tamper-resistant clear tape can be custom printed. It also delivers better performance across wide temperature ranges, which os critical in shipping and storage environments.
The company will exhibit its new tape at this year’s Pack Expo Las Vegas event, which takes place from 23 to 25 September.
3M box sealing tape marketing manager Justin Harris said: “With Scotch® High Tack Box Sealing Tape 375+, we’ve taken steps to assure boxes will stay closed throughout the supply chain journey, even in rough packaging or handling conditions.
“Durable and dependable, this upgraded product is another example of how 3M innovation provides excellent performance and secure containment for multiple applications.”
In April this year, 3M expanded its medical adhesives portfolio with the introduction of new medical transfer adhesive. The 3M extended wear medical transfer adhesive, 4075 (3M 4075), has been designed to laminate multiple substrates.
