Excellent for Use on Lightweight Coated Papers
The combination of high initial adhesion and very good heat resistance makes 3M™ Repulpable Double-Coated Splicing Tape 900 ideal for LWC (lightweight coated) papers, particularly for coated rotogravure and offset papers. It also performs well in many other finished splice applications, even with “alkaline coatings” and with stearate sizing.
Recommended Applications
- Overlap finished splices in a paper mill
Prevents Broke Contamination from Non-Repulpable Material
This 2.5 mil (0.06 mm) tape features a lightweight tissue coated on both sides with a blue, repulpable adhesive on a repulpable easy release paper liner. Tape offers excellent heat resistance up to 400ºF (204ºC) web temperature.
Repulpable construction means there is no need to remove splice from waste. The tape’s water dispersability eliminates the danger of contaminating the paper mill broke with non-repulpable material. It meets or exceeds TAPPI UM-213, procedure A, so it helps to save labor costs and increase the value of waste paper. All components of the adhesive and backing meet the requirements of indirect food additive regulations as described under 21 CFR 176.170 and 21 CFR 176.180.
