Tensile strength for filament strapping tapes range from 100lbs to 600lbs per square inch. But what exactly is filament tape?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>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.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The glass (or fiberglass composite material) is embedded directly into the adhesive backing in \u201cfilaments.\u201d 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.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Our Recommended Filament Tapes<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>For packaging\/sealing boxes<\/strong>, we recommend <a href=\"\/products\/pro-180\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Pro\u00ae 180<\/a> (100lbs 4mil utility grade Fiberglass Filament Tape.)<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><a href=\"\/products\/pro-180\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Pro\u00ae 180<\/a> is designed with an aggressive rubber based adhesive.

It features high tack, high adhesion, high shear and chemical resistance. It is also waterproof and non-toxic.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>TPP or Appliance Tape is ideal for delivery heavy products such as appliances. This PSA naturally shrinks to secure the load when used.&nbsp; Since it does not contain filaments, it will stretch a fair amount before breaking but will instantly snap into place when loads shifts.&nbsp; It has a low elongation and high tensile strength.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Our Recommended Strapping Tape<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>We recommend <a href=\"\/products\/pro-188\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Pro\u00ae 188<\/a> (4.6mils White TPP tape) <strong>for closing and bundling appliances<\/strong> <strong>and parts <\/strong>(such as refrigerator doors, shelves, etc.) securely in place during transport. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Other applications for <a href=\"\/products\/pro-188\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Pro\u00ae 188<\/a> include securing and bundling computers, furniture and office equipment.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><a class=\"imagegallery\" href=\"https:\/\/www.protapes.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/06\/We-recommend-Pro-167-strapping-tape-for-coil-tabbing.jpg\" rel=\"imagegallery5330\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.protapes.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/06\/We-recommend-Pro-167-strapping-tape-for-coil-tabbing-1024x512.jpg\" alt=\"We recommend Pro 167 strapping tape for coil tabbing\" class=\"wp-image-5348\"\/><\/a><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>For Coil Tabbing, Choose Heavy Duty Polypropylene Strapping Tapes<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Polypropylene strapping tape is also known as Poly strapping or PP Strap tape.
