3M™ Water Activated Paper Tape 6147, Natural, Performance Reinforced, 3 in x 450 ft, 10/Case

3M™ Water Activated Paper Tape 6147, with its 3-way fiber glass reinforcement and high-tack, water activated adhesive, ensures corrugated boxes stay sealed until ready for opening. For the 3 way fiber glass reinforcing pattern lengthwise threads are laced with a diamond cross-machine pattern. The lengthwise threads are composed of 75 Denier Fiberglass at 33/64". The spacing ratio is 2-1-1-1-2. Machine threads are then crossed using 50 Denier Fiberglass to complete the diamond pattern using slightly less than 1-1/4" spacing between threads. In tandem with the reinforced virgin kraft paper, a 3M high-tack water activated adhesive system holds the tape in place throughout shipping, handling and storage. The tape is 3" wide, 8.5 mil thick and is available in natural and white colors.

3M™ Water Activated Paper Tape 6147 is recommend for sealing packages weighing a maximum of 45 lbs. The optimal method for securing a box is to form two C clips on each carton top and bottom. When water-activated, this tape easily and quickly conforms over carton edges and corners to form secure, tamper-evident C clip and I clip seals. This water-activated, or "gummed," tape is very effective for sealing corrugated cartons, as the adhesive will bond with the fiberboard material to create a strong durable seal and endure the toughest handling and shipping scenarios. The tape works well on recycled cartons and non-unitized loads. Its reinforced construction assures reliable performance across a range of environments and applications. This economical packaging tape meets the needs of numerous industries and general industrial applications such as food, beverage, medical pharmaceutical, paper, print, electronics, shipping and distribution centers.

3M also offers semi-automatic application equipment to increase efficiencies and help speed up your packaging needs and carton sealing processes. Application is most easily accomplished at room temperature and once applied; the tape performs well throughout the normal temperature ranges typically encountered by packaged products in shipping and storage environments.

3M™ Water Activated Dispensers and Water Activated Tapes are an easy, economical solution to a wide variety of carton sealing challenges. To create a strong, lasting seal, the moistened adhesive interacts with porous surfaces to form a powerful, secure bond. This tape-bond forms a tamper-evident seal that shreds if an attempt is made to pull it off before delivery. Normally constructed from paper, the taping system is easy to operate, apply, and handle, making it ideal for hand applications. Boxes are securely sealed yet easy to open without cutting tools.
