Our Repulpable Hole Patch Tape is a fully repulpable web repair solution engineered specifically to patch holes, tears, and voids in moving paper webs during papermaking and finishing operations. Designed with a printable backing and a high-shear repulpable adhesive, this heavy-duty Hole Patch Tape withstands the intense pressure, heat, and tension of blade coaters and supercalenders without causing flaking or print distortion. Because it dissolves completely during recycling, it prevents pulp contamination and eliminates costly downtime in paper mills and converting facilities.
Engineered to optimize production yields in continuous web processing, Repulpable Hole Patch Tape repairs web defects quickly to keep paper machines running smoothly. Supplied as die-cut rounded patches on a release liner, each hole patch repair tape piece applies easily over voids to maintain web integrity through high-speed coaters, drying sections, and finishing rolls.
The specialized printable backing readily accepts aqueous coatings, inks, and sizing, ensuring that down-line printing operations proceed without surface flaking or ink rejection. Formulated with a water-dispersible, high-shear repulpable adhesive, this Repulpable Tape forms an immediate bond across diverse paper grades. When broke or scrap paper containing the patch is returned to the hydrapulper, the entire patch dissolves seamlessly, leaving no adhesive residue or non-repulpable contaminants in the recycled pulp slurry.

A: The tape uses a water-dispersible adhesive and a paper-fiber-compatible backing designed to break down completely in standard hydrapulper slurry conditions, preventing sticky contaminants (stickies) in the pulp stream.
A: Yes. The printable backing is specially treated to accept industrial inks, sizings, and liquid paper coatings without causing ink flaking or print distortion.
A: Yes. The high-shear adhesive and durable backing are engineered to withstand the elevated temperatures, tension, and heavy nip pressures encountered in coaters and supercalenders.
A: The rounded shape eliminates sharp corners that could catch on rollers, coater blades, or guide bars, preventing edge lifting and ensuring smooth travel through the machine.
