Scotch® 3850 Process Tape – Time-Tested, Heat-Stable, and Built for Repeatable Performance

Process-Grade Performance for Metal, Plastic, and Packaging Surfaces

Scotch® 3850 isn’t just for shipping boxes—it’s a trusted process tape used across industries where consistent adhesion, heat resilience, and surface versatility matter. Whether sealing parts bins, taping component trays, or bundling materials, this tape delivers uniform performance on metal, plastic, and corrugated surfaces alike.

Withstanding temperatures up to 85°C (185°F), 3850 remains stable under heated storage, warm-room conditions, or moderate post-processing exposure. It unrolls smoothly, tears cleanly, and sticks with confidence to a wide range of substrates—including smooth plastics, coated metals, and high-recycled-content cardboard.
