Splicing tape is a specialized adhesive tape designed to join the ends of two rolls of material together. They typically has a strong adhesive and is designed to withstand the tension and stress of the material being joined.
Splicing Tapes are widely used in various industries, particularly in manufacturing and printing, to join or splice together two ends of a material, such as paper, film, or foil. The primary purpose of splice tapes are to create a seamless connection between the two ends, ensuring continuity in the production process and minimizing downtime. It can be either repulpable or non-repulpable, depending on the specific application.
1. Repulpable Tape Applications
Repulpable splicing tape is a specialized adhesive designed to be easily removed and recycled along with the material being joined. This makes it an ideal choice for industries where sustainability and environmental concerns are a priority.
Repulpable splicing tape used for paper mills, newspapers, web printers to join 2 rolls of materials to increase the length or provide continuity of substrate. Repulpable splicing tape can be recycled to the paper pulp in water. The Repulpable splicing tapes backing and glue can be dissolve in water.
Flying splice tapes as Paper splicing tape most commonly used in paper manufacturing industries, to attach an already machine threaded paper reel to the new paper reel. This process of splicing the paper reels allows operators to avoid lengthy downtimes and run continuous production without having to re-thread the material through their equipment.
2. Non-Repulpable Tape Applications
Non-repulpable splicing tape is a specialized adhesive designed for temporary or non-critical applications where repulpability is not required. It is typically used in situations where the tape will not be recycled or reused.
Non-Repulpable splicing tape is designed for splicing release coated paper and film in elevated temperature or in conditions where initial high tack is required, for photo processing, in label or pressure sensitive coating applications that require a functional splice and for butt splice/overlap splicing applications.
