• A “shuttering tape” (or “formwork/concrete-shuttering tape”) is a tape used in construction: especially during concrete casting — to seal joints in formwork (shuttering), to prevent concrete slurry leakage, to ensure clean edges, and to protect formwork surfaces (wood, metal, ply) from concrete adhesion, moisture, etc.

• When such tape uses “BOPP” film (Biaxially Oriented Polypropylene) as backing + a suitable adhesive (often acrylic / solvent-based) to ensure strong grip even on metal/wood/ply surfaces under wet concrete, that becomes “BOPP shuttering tape.”

• Key properties of shuttering tape (especially BOPP-based) typically include:

  • Strong adhesion to shuttering materials (ply, metal, wood).

  • Water/cement/slurry resistance — because concrete work involves wet and alkaline conditions.

  • Tear-resistance, durability, ability to stay intact during concrete pouring or after curing.

  • Wide roll width options — because shuttering boards or formwork panels are wide; some tapes in this category come in widths up to over 1,000 mm (though narrower rolls are also common) so they can cover or seal large joints/panels.

• Use-cases: sealing joints between shuttering panels, preventing leakage of cement slurry, ensuring smooth concrete edges, temporary binding of formwork, protecting formwork surface from adhesion, etc.

So “BOPP shuttering tape” is essentially a BOPP-film adhesive tape, but manufactured/graded / specified for construction/formwork/concrete shuttering applications, rather than ordinary packaging or carton-sealing.
