9966

***Discontinued*** Single-Coated Splicing Tape

Discontinued A 4.5 mil. tape featuring flat back paper backing and clear repulpable adhesive primarily used for butt splicing and taping down edges securely. The paper kraft backing of this product is untreated and readily accepts inks and coatings for printing. The water solubility and alkali dispersability of 9966 tape are excellent and help prevent the contamination of the paper mill broke with non-repulpable material. The tape and liner of 9966 are compelety repulpable for easier use. Beware of the bonding strength which delaminates most papers.
