3M™ TAPES

3M™ TAPES
Engineered Strength for Demanding Applications
3M Scotch® Bi-Directional Filament Tape 8959 is a clear, fiberglass-reinforced strapping tape designed for high-strength performance in box closure, strapping, and cross-web splicing. Reinforced with fiberglass filaments in both directions, it offers exceptional tensile and shear strength, holding firm with minimal tape usage.
Thanks to its synthetic rubber adhesive, the tape achieves high initial tack and excellent adhesion to most surfaces, including rough and uneven substrates. Transparent yet tough, 3M 8959 also allows for visibility of printed surfaces beneath the tape, making it ideal for packaging and secure sealing.
And here’s the EKO-TECH advantage: we manufacture and convert this product in Poland at our in-house facility under 3M Select Converter partnership – delivering reliability, flexibility, and speed.
