Scotch® Recycled Corrugate Tape 3073 is expertly engineered to adhere swiftly and robustly to various substrates, including recycled corrugate and fibreboard. This tape is an essential tool for businesses seeking a reliable solution for sealing boxes made with high levels of recycled content. It features a unique synthetic rubber hot melt adhesive that penetrates short fibres of recycled material, securing box flaps tightly and ensuring packages stay closed under rough handling conditions.
- Enhanced Adhesive Properties: The tape's adhesive formula is designed to be 10 times stickier than standard box sealing tapes, allowing it to flow into the texture of recycled corrugate for a superior hold. This results in a strong bond with an average holding strength of 30 lbf, providing a dependable seal even on boxes with varying levels of recycled content.
- Durable Construction: Scotch® Recycled Corrugate Tape 3073 is backed with biaxially-orientated polypropylene, enhancing its resistance to abrasion, moisture, chemicals, and scuffing. This durability ensures that the tape maintains its integrity from the production line to delivery, safeguarding your goods throughout the shipping process.
- Eco-Friendly Features: This product supports sustainability initiatives by incorporating over 10% bio-based content in its adhesive and using recycled materials in the tape core. It is a practical choice for eco-conscious businesses looking to minimize environmental impact while maintaining high performance.
- Versatile Application: Suitable for various packing operations, Scotch® Recycled Corrugate Tape 3073 can be applied manually with a hand-held tape dispenser or through automated systems using a 3M-Matic™ Case Sealer. This versatility makes it ideal for operations ranging from low to high volume packaging.
Usage and Maintenance: Ensure surfaces are clean and dry before application to maximize adhesive performance. For manual application, use a quality hand-held dispenser to maintain tension and alignment. When using with an automated sealer, regular maintenance checks on the machine ensure optimal performance. This tape meets FDA requirements for indirect food contact, making it safe for packaging a broad range of goods.
