840 GP Crossweave Filament Tape 48mm x 45m

This 840 GP crossweave filament tape is a 48mm x 45m roll of heavy duty reinforced strapping tape, built for demanding packaging and bundling tasks. Strong glass fibre filaments are woven through a durable film backing, which gives the tape outstanding tensile strength and tear resistance. It holds cartons, pipes and materials together in high stress conditions where a plain tape would not last.

What You Need To Complete The Job

Use this filament tape for the heavy strapping and a fragile tape for handling warnings on the carton. For general site sealing, keep a duct tape in the kit. Browse the full General Hand Tools range for more tapes and accessories.

Frequently Asked Questions

What makes filament tape stronger than normal tape?

Filament tape has glass fibre strands running through the film backing. Those strands carry the tensile load, which is why a narrow strip of filament tape can hold far more than a standard carton sealing tape of the same width. That makes it the right tape for strapping and heavy bundling.

Can I use it to strap pallets?

Yes. It is designed for strapping pallet loads and bundling heavy materials where a plain tape would tear. Apply it under tension around the load and press it down firmly, and reinforce the ends for maximum hold. For very heavy loads, strapping with a tensioning tool is the more secure option.

Does it stick to metal and plastic?

The pressure sensitive adhesive is specified to hold on cardboard, plastic and metal surfaces, which covers the common packaging and bundling materials. Make sure the surface is clean, dry and free of dust or oil so the adhesive gets a good grip.

Do I need a dispenser for filament tape?

A dispenser or a tear bar is helpful because filament tape has a strong, reinforced backing that is harder to tear by hand than a plain tape. You can cut it with a sharp knife or scissors if you do not have a dispenser. Press the ends down firmly after cutting so the reinforcement strands do not lift.
