Home Repulpable Tape

Whether single-sided or double-sided, repulpable tape is suitable for use in paper production and for the splicing of paper rolls. Repulpable tape provides low splicing thickness and high heat resistance up to 200 °C. It is the best solutions to affix paper material to a new core or to close reels for transportation inside and outside of the paper mill.

Benefits of Repulpable Tapes:

Excellent repulpability: Tapes carrier and adhesive can be dissolve in water and mix again in the paper pulp.

Strong Bond: Provides strong, reliable splices for high-speed operations (flying splices, core starts) in paper mills and printers, working across various temperatures and conditions.

Versatile Applications: Used for roll closing, end tabbing, and splicing various paper grades (coated, uncoated, newsprint).

Meets Standards: Repulpability meet industry standards like TAPPI UM-213.

Applications of Repulpable Tape:

Repulpable Tapes include single sided tape and double sided tape, can used at paper mills, newspapers, web printers to join 2 rolls of materials to increase the length or provide continuity of substrate.

Single sided tape used in General purpose tape for manual splice roll changes and fixing roll ends. Butt splices, core starting, end taping.

Double sided tape used in overlap splicing, manual splices, core starting, and roll finishing applications.

By using repulpable tapes, businesses can improve their sustainability practices and reduce waste in their paper and packaging processes. Key considerations when you choosing the right repulpable tape:

Consider the application: Match the tape's strength, thickness, and adhesion level to the specific splicing task and paper type.

Compatibility: Ensure the tape is compatible with the paper material and the recycling process used.

Environmental certifications: Look for tapes with certifications from recognized organizations like TAPPI (Technical Association of the Pulp and Paper Industry) to ensure their repulpability.
