Industries that frequently uses the Filament Strapping tapes include:

• Packaging/Reinforcement of Heavy Cartons
• Food & Beverages
• Electronics
• Appliances, Furniture, and transportation/delivery of such
• Automotive-Parts
• Energy-Oil, Gas, pipe and conduits.
• General Manufacturing—Metalworking

In this blog post, we’ll take a look at the three most common applications for filament strapping tapes, and give you our product recommendations for each.

For Bundling, Palletizing and Sealing Corrugated Boxes, Choose Filament Tapes

Filament tape is well known for its bundling and reinforcing capabilities. Tensile strength for filament strapping tapes range from 100lbs to 600lbs per square inch. But what exactly is filament tape?

Filament tape is a pressure sensitive adhesive (or PSA) constructed of polypropylene or polyester film. It is glass-reinforced, with a natural rubber based adhesive system.

The glass (or fiberglass composite material) is embedded directly into the adhesive backing in “filaments.” This provides additional strength and makes the tape resistant to tears, scuffing, splitting and abrasion. These tapes can be reinforced with polyester, polypropylene, fiberglass fibers or yarn filaments. 

Our Recommended Filament Tapes

For packaging/sealing boxes, we recommend Pro® 180 (100lbs 4mil utility grade Fiberglass Filament Tape.)

Pro® 180 is designed with an aggressive rubber based adhesive. It is cost effective and has outstanding holding power, making it ideal for packing products for shipment. 

For palletizing/bundling, we recommend our Pro® 166 (200lbs 5.5mil Industrial Grade Fiberglass Reinforced Strapping Tape, with a synthetic rubber based adhesive.) 

Pro® 166 is a clear, uni-directional filament tape ideal for medium strength duty jobs. Thanks to the tape’s transparency, you can see printed information and illustrations through it.

For Securing Appliances and Furniture, Choose Tensilized (Non-Filament) Polypropylene Strapping Tapes

Tensilized Polypropylene strapping tape (or, TPP) is also commonly known as Appliance Tape. It is a non-staining, strong tensilized polypropylene backing coated with a rubber adhesive system.

This tape is specially designed to be stain and adhesive transfer resistant. It features high tack, high adhesion, high shear and chemical resistance. It is also waterproof and non-toxic. 

TPP or Appliance Tape is ideal for delivery heavy products such as appliances. This PSA naturally shrinks to secure the load when used.  Since it does not contain filaments, it will stretch a fair amount before breaking but will instantly snap into place when loads shifts.  It has a low elongation and high tensile strength. 

Our Recommended Strapping Tape

We recommend Pro® 188 (4.6mils White TPP tape) for closing and bundling appliances and parts (such as refrigerator doors, shelves, etc.) securely in place during transport.

Other applications for Pro® 188 include securing and bundling computers, furniture and office equipment. 

For Coil Tabbing, Choose Heavy Duty Polypropylene Strapping Tapes

Polypropylene strapping tape is also known as Poly strapping or PP Strap tape. It is a thermosplastic material made with a tensilized polypropylene backing and a rubber adhesive system.

Our Recommended Poly Strapping Tape

Coil tabbing and pipe bundling require a high tensile strength and low stretch.

That’s why we recommend Pro® 167 (300lbs 6mil general purpose polypropylene reinforced glass yarn filament tape.)

Pro® 167 is one of our strongest options for bundling and palletizing heavy items.  The glass yarn filaments provide added strength for high impact and elongation, while protecting the tape against delamination.

Peek Behind the Scenes into the Quality Control Lab

With Chris’s help, we also filmed a Behind the Scenes video of the QC Lab, so you can get a peek into some of the processes and tests we run on a daily basis. Check it out:

Hey Chris, thanks for talking with us today! Tell us a little about yourself, first.

Hey there! I am a Quality Control professional with more than ten years of experience in the manufacturing industry. Despite a few industry and job changes over the years, “quality” seems to have ultimately “stuck” with me (tape pun intended!)

I believe “quality” found me during my undergraduate business history studies of Henry Ford and J. P. Morgan and while learning about modern enterprise business systems. I went on to study and seek certification within Integrated Lean Six Sigma (IL6S.)

What do Quality Control (QC) and Quality Assurance (QA) mean to you?

Quality is a developing theory through modern descriptive business systems. Formally, “quality control” is typically regarded as the validation and qualification of physical items produced through the manufacturing process.

Whereas “quality assurance” is the qualification of the process itself; leveraging risks and evaluating possible outcomes. It is often “end-to-end,” encompassing suppliers/vendors, internal functions, external requirements, and customer demands.

I think of quality control as a “business philosophy” (a la Deming, Crosby, Juran, and other great titans of industry.) I believe the IL6S philosophies hold true across the span of the manufacturing industry, no matter how simple or complex the finished product is.

To me, “quality” means synthesizing a learned understanding from various business minds and attuning this knowledge to the company’s internal culture, brand reputation, and actionable plans for continued improvement.

This helps us focus beyond the trajectory or ‘desired/future state’ of the company, through to the bottom-line actuals that make up the future. It may seem a bit dreamy, but that’s my perspective.

Identifying and filling execution gaps (DMAIC), managing programs and projects via QA process tools, and executing opportunities for improvement are much more difficult in reality than I may describe them to be!

But quality tools like these assist us in being the architects of our own success.

What does Quality Control look like at Pro Tapes^® specifically, and why?

At Pro Tapes^®, Quality “management” encompasses the activities of both QC and QA, with the inclusion of modern business systems thinking, and the philosophical approach I described earlier.

We define a forward-thinking, positive future-state, in order to identify risks, opportunities for improvement, and to discover how to “close the gap” between our current-state and our desired-state.

This knowledge is used to generate positive outcomes externally (timely and desired product to market delivery, profitability, end-user satisfaction) and internally (employee engagement, systems implementation.)

With the help of our program and project management systems, we can produce repeatable outcomes, bring uniform, high quality products to market, and exceed yesterday’s vision of the future, as a team.

Are there any standards we “stick” to when manufacturing and QC testing our adhesive tape products?

We follow the Pressure Sensitive Tape Council (PSTC, www.pstc.org) standards for substantiating test data, i.e. defining characteristics of the adhesive tapes we manufacture. The PSTC is a trusted standard for more than sixty years and counting!

The PSTC standard is fairly commonly cited within the PSA (pressure sensitive adhesive) industry, and accompanies ASTM, MIL specs, UL and other third-party standards and certifications.

The North American trade association for tape manufacturers, which established and updates the PSTC, has a global fingerprint spanning beyond North America.

Does Pro Tapes^® have any other special certifications for Quality Control?

Pro Tapes & Specialties^® is a 9001:2015 certified company. We are not ISO/IEC 17025, or otherwise “lab certified,” but we keep up with modern technology brands like Thwing-Albert, ChemInstruments, etc. to keep our capabilities accurate, repeatable, and recorded for accuracy, and reliability.

Thanks for sharing that with us Chris! Share one more fun fact with us: What’s YOUR favorite Pro Tapes^® product?

It’s a toss-up between UGlu^® and Pro^® Artist Tape for my favorite Pro Tapes® product!

UGlu^® is awesome for its functionality and universal applications (product and point of sale display assembly, party décor, so much more), but Pro^® Artist Tape is also great for the savviness and range of colors it provides for craft projects.

What is a Double Coated Tape?

Before we take a look at our top 3 premium polyester film tapes, let’s define what double coated means.

“Double coated” tape (commonly abbreviated as DC) is also known as “double sided” or “double faced” tape. That is, it’s an adhesive tape that has adhesive on both sides instead of just one.

Double coated tapes are also typically pressure sensitive tapes, or PSAs. PSAs consist of a film, paper, cloth, foam, or foil carrier that is coated on both sides with a rubber, silicone or acrylic adhesive. 

The adhesive is protected by a release liner, which is removed when the tape is applied, or left in place until the surfaces to be bonded to are ready to be attached together. Release liners are commonly paper or films, with a silicone release agent.

The primary purpose of a double coated PSA is to stick two surfaces together. Double coated tapes are mainly used for laminating, mounting, splicing, gasketing, sound/vibration dampening, and appliances.

Typically, the adhesive is not visible on the finished product, creating a cleaner and modern design look. This is ideal for many applications, such as signage, windows, skylights, and many more.

Now, let’s take a look at our top 3 premium Double Coated Polyester tapes:
