Adhesive Tape Features
  • Water and alkali dispersability are excellent and eliminate danger of contaminating the paper mill broke with non-repulpable material (Poor quality paper and plugged Fourdrinier screens often can be caused by typical non-repulpable, rubber base splicing media)
  • Kraft backing is untreated and readily accepts most inks and coatings
  • Repulability - Tape = completely; Liner = completely
  • High performance adhesive combines high initial adhesion with very good heat resistance to perform on the difficult surface of many "raw" LWC coatings
  • Complete repulpability splices and tape will not contaminate broke
  • Printable backing accepts most printing ink and/ or coatings
  • Good splices quickly
  • High strength splices
  • Performs through high temperature operations, including super-calendering and printing
  • Saves labor and increases value of scrap
  • Assures high quality printing and coating without flaking or print distortion
Adhesive Tape Applications
  • Taping the "lip" and "tail" of machine rereeler splices prior to off machine coating of fine papers
  • Taping the "lip" on web offset splices and the "lip" and "tail" on safety splices (especially on papers with LWC 'Light -Weight-Coated' coating formulations), particularly gravure papers
  • Butt splices
  • Alkaline coatings and with stearate sizing

The physical properties listed are typical values and are not to be considered as specifications. Our suggestions for use are based on tests we believe to be reliable. However, the purchaser must carry out their own tests to determine the suitability of the product for their internal use. Information is given in good faith, but without warranty.

It is essential, as with all pressure-sensitive tapes, that the surface to which the tape is applied be clean, dry and free of grease and oil.

Shelf life from date of manufacture is based on the product being stored at 70°F(21°C) / 50% relative humidity out of direct sunlight.

Specification compliance is dynamic and should only be used as a general guide. Always confirm that the tape you are interested in currently complies with all specification requirements. Please verify that the product number that you select is available in the proper size and color to meet your specification.
