Product 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
