Product Name
Bron BT-021 Multi-Purpose Natural White Filament Tape made with Crepe Paper
Brief Description
The Bron BT-021 is a multi-purpose crepe paper filament tape, engineered for strength and versatility across various industrial applications. It features a crepe paper backing reinforced with uni-directional fiberglass filaments and a synthetic rubber adhesive, ensuring a secure and durable bond.
Popular Applications & Uses
- Bundling and securing heavy items- Unitizing and palletizing goods for transport and storage- General purpose closing and reinforcing of packages and cartons- Reinforcing corrugated boxes to increase load-bearing capacity and prevent tears- Used as grout tape in decorative concrete applications- Labeling for identification and organization- Temporary repairs for items like cracked plastic panels, broken handles, torn equipment cases, and loose automotive parts- Securing appliance doors, drawers, or loose components during transit- Bundling wires, cables, and hoses, particularly in the automotive industry- Masking in automotive painting applications, leveraging its conformability
Industries that Commonly Use It
- General Manufacturing- Logistics- Packaging Services or Contractor- Construction/ Building Services, especially for decorative concrete work- Automotive Service/Repair and Transportation/ Specialty Vehicle- Industrial Supply- Distributers & Resellers- Aerospace/Defense (for general filament tape applications in manufacturing and logistics)
Special and Unique Features
- Multi-purpose design suitable for a wide array of applications across industries- Reinforced with uni-directional fiberglass filaments, providing exceptional strength, high tear, and split resistance- Crepe paper backing offers flexibility and conformability, allowing it to adhere well to irregular surfaces and curves- Equipped with a synthetic rubber adhesive for a secure bond, firm initial tack, and sustained grip on various substrates- Designed for heavy-duty applications requiring superior tensile strength and durability- Often provides clean removal without leaving sticky residue, making it suitable for temporary fixes
Key Properties
- **Material:** Crepe paper backing, uni-directional fiberglass filaments, synthetic rubber/resin adhesive- **Adhesive Type:** Synthetic rubber/resin pressure-sensitive adhesive- **Reinforcement:** Uni-directional fiberglass filaments- **Color:** Natural White- **Thickness:** Approximately 7.9 mil total thickness- **Tensile Strength:** Medium tensile strength, providing robust holding power- **Adhesion:** Good, instant adhesion with strong holding power and firm initial tack- **Conformability:** Highly conformable to rough, curved, and irregular surfaces
Surface Compatibility
- Various substrates- Corrugated cartons- Metal surfaces (e.g., aluminum, steel, iron)- Plastic surfaces- Glass surfaces- Painted surfaces- Concrete surfaces (including rough surfaces like walls, trim, or bricks)- Wood surfaces (such as finished wood, plywood, or MDF)- Canvas surfaces
Known backups / known substitutes
- Other filament tapes, including those with polypropylene or polyester backings, for heavy-duty strapping and bundling- Heavy-duty strapping tape for packaging and unitizing applications- General purpose masking tape for less demanding holding, bundling, or non-critical masking tasks- Kraft paper tape for packaging, though typically without the filament reinforcement- BOPP (Biaxially Oriented Polypropylene) plastic packing tape for carton sealing, offering high tensile strength- Washi tape, particularly for delicate surface masking applications
Comparison Note
The Bron BT-021 uniquely combines the conformability and hand-tearability (along the paper grain) of crepe paper with the exceptional tensile strength and tear resistance provided by fiberglass filaments. This makes it a versatile solution that surpasses standard masking or paper tapes in strength, while potentially offering greater flexibility and surface conformity than some film-backed filament tapes. It is particularly effective in applications requiring both secure bundling/reinforcement and the ability to adhere to irregular surfaces, such as intricate grout lines in decorative concrete.
