Intertape Polymer Group Filament Tape

IPG Filament Tape: Industrial-Grade Reinforcement Built to Hold

When packaging integrity is non-negotiable, Intertape Polymer Group (IPG) delivers. IPG is the second-largest tape producer in North America, and their filament tape lineup is a direct reflection of that depth — covering everything from light-duty strapping to demanding aerospace and industrial applications.

A Lineup Built for Every Demand Level

IPG's industrial filament tapes are used across many different markets and applications, including appliance manufacturing and shipping, and the product line includes both general purpose and specialty tapes in natural rubber and hot melt adhesive formulations to cover the broadest scope of applications.

At the utility end of the spectrum, the RG300 Series is a standby for everyday strapping and bundling. Featuring a 1.0 mil polypropylene film with economical fiberglass reinforcements and a solventless pressure-sensitive synthetic rubber/resin adhesive, it provides excellent adhesion to corrugated cartons and outstanding holding power. For heavier applications, the RG286 steps up with a medium-strength profile: designed for the majority of packaging, palletizing, and unitizing applications, combining a 1.1 mil polypropylene film with an aggressive solventless pressure-sensitive adhesive for excellent adhesion to corrugated cartons.

When even greater strength is required, IPG's polyester-backed options raise the bar. The RA6 is a clear, fiberglass-reinforced, polyester-backed strapping tape with a pressure-sensitive natural rubber/resin adhesive, delivering high tensile strength, high adhesion, and medium impact strength. The RG15 takes it further: a uni-directional polyester (PET) film strapping tape with reinforcements and a pressure-sensitive natural rubber adhesive, combining high tensile strength with high adhesion and impact strength — and compliance with ASTM D5330, Type I.

MOPP Tapes: A Versatile Alternative

IPG rounds out the reinforced tape category with MOPP (Monoaxially-Oriented Polypropylene) strapping tapes — a lighter-weight but highly effective option for unitizing and palletizing. The solvent-free acrylic adhesive on IPG's MOPP tapes offers excellent UV resistance and long-lasting adhesion to a variety of surfaces. Medium-duty MOPP options use a mono-oriented polypropylene film with acrylic adhesive that is water- and UV-resistant as well as chemical- and stain-resistant.

Bi-Directional Strength for Demanding Workflows

For automated and high-throughput environments, IPG also offers bi-directional filament tape options. Polyester film woven with fiberglass reinforcements and a pressure-sensitive synthetic rubber adhesive delivers balanced machine-direction and cross-direction tensile strength, high adhesion, and medium impact strength — with bi-directional filaments that resist delamination for improved one-piece removability and increased "boardiness" for automatic application, and an operating temperature range of +32°F to +180°F.
