All About Filament Tape (Heavy Duty Tape With White Threads Going Through It)

Two-way or cross weave filament tape is a high-strength adhesive tape that combines the versatility of standard packing tape with the exceptional strength of embedded glass or fiberglass filaments. This tape is designed for heavy-duty applications where superior tensile strength and durability are required. It is composed of a polypropylene or polyester backing material that is longitudinally and transversely reinforced with continuous filaments, creating a crisscross pattern.

Key Features:

• Superior Strength: The embedded filaments make this tape incredibly strong, providing resistance against tearing, splitting, and stretching.
• Versatile Adhesion: The adhesive layer on both sides of the tape ensures excellent bonding to various surfaces, including cardboard, plastic, metal, and wood.
• Durability: It withstands high tension and has excellent abrasion resistance, making it suitable for heavy-duty applications.
• Tear-Resistant: The crisscross filaments provide tear resistance in both horizontal and vertical directions.
• Moisture Resistance: Many two-way filament tapes are water and moisture-resistant, ensuring your packages stay secure even in challenging conditions.
• Roll Length: 45 metres

Uses/Applications:

• Packing and Shipping: Two-way filament tape is commonly used for sealing and reinforcing heavy packages and cartons, ensuring they remain intact during transit. It is especially useful for securing goods that may be subject to rough handling.
• Palletizing: This tape is ideal for securing pallet loads, bundling multiple boxes together, and preventing shifting or separation during transportation.
• Carpentry and Construction: In construction and carpentry, cross weave filament tape is used for temporarily holding materials together, providing added strength to joints, and even for marking straight lines for cutting.
• Automotive Industry: It finds applications in the automotive industry for bundling wires, cables, and hoses, as well as reinforcing various automotive components.
• Aerospace and Manufacturing: Due to its high strength and durability, this tape is used in the aerospace and manufacturing sectors for holding parts together, repairing equipment, and securing critical components.
• Marine Applications: The moisture-resistant properties make it valuable in marine environments for securing equipment and materials on boats and ships.
• Arts and Crafts: Cross weave filament tape is sometimes used in creative projects and art installations where a strong adhesive with high tensile strength is required.
• HVAC and Plumbing: It is employed to hold insulation materials in place, secure ductwork, and bundle pipes and cables.
