Paper Adhesive Tapes have specially treated backs, have waterproofing characteristics and provide good tensile and moisture resistance. Its resin-based adhesive and synthetic rubber makes it difficult to open the box or packaging, even with the pressure exerted by its contents.
The 3557 Scotch® tape has a smooth paper back, Kraft, which provides waterproofing characteristics, flexibility and good tensile strength. The special adhesive based on synthetic resin and rubber has high shear strength, pressure sensitive and high cohesion force. It can be printed by the flexographic method (graphic printing process in which the formm, a rubber or photopolymer cliché, is embossed). *All physical properties and recommendations are based on reliable testing due to 3M's extensive experience, but there are no guarantees. 3M recommends that each user be responsible for testing the tape and verifying that it is suitable for each application and need.
