Filament Tape is a very high tensile tape used for heavy duty carton sealing and strapping applications. As the name suggests, there are filaments of fibreglass reinforcements on the adhesive backing of the tape. These woven strips on the tape are making it so strong and tear-resistant. It enables the tape to withstand intense pressure during the transit of loads and prevents it from elongating thus making it highly suitable for bundling purposes. Filament tape can be used for sealing boxes containing heavy and delicate products that need maximum support during shipping.

There are two main types of filament; one way and two way.

One Way Filament Tape is commonly referred to as single woven filament tape or one way tape. As the suggests, One Way Filament Tape has fibreglass reinforcement in a single direction. Its high tensile strength makes it a popularly heavy-duty tape. One way filament tape is slightly cheaper than two-way tape but the disadvantage is the tape can be split lengthways as there aren’t reinforcements across this direction.

Two Way Filament Tape  is commonly referred to as cross weaved filament tape or two way tape. As the suggests, Two Way Filament Tape has fibreglass reinforcement in both directions through the tape. Its high tensile strength makes it a popularly heavy-duty tape. The cost of two way filament tape is slightly more than one way tape but the advantage is the tape can not be split lengthways as there are reinforcements across both direction.
