This repulpable tape consists of a flat back paper backing and a water-soluble adhesive, which means both the backing and the glue dissolve in water and can be recycled back into paper pulp. It is available in various thicknesses to suit different application stresses:
No. 100B (Light Flat-Back Paper): Light backing, conformable, ideal for splicing, tabbing, and roll closing on lighter paper grades.
No. 200B-130 (Medium Flat-Back Paper): Medium backing with high shear strength, suitable for holding rolls closed and accommodating roll movement without breaking.
No. 200B-170 (Heavy Flat-Back Paper): Heavy backing providing high strength, best for holding rolls closed securely through automated handling stops and starts.
This single sided repulpable tabbing tape is critical for maintaining efficiency and sustainability in the paper and printing industries:

Q1: What does "repulpable" mean?
A: Repulpable means that both the backing and the repulpable adhesive can be dissolved in water during the paper mill's recycling (pulper) process. This ensures that the tape does not contaminate the paper pulp and can be fully integrated into the paper waste stream.
Q2: Is this tape suitable for high-speed splicing?
A: Yes, while this is a single sided repulpable tabbing tape most commonly used for butt splicing and roll closing, its high shear strength and reliable adhesive make certain types (like No. 200B-170) effective in automated roll handling environments.
Q3. Does it leave residue?
A: No. The repulpable adhesive dissolves completely, leaving no residue in the recycling stream.
Q4. Can it withstand high temperatures?
A: Yes. This tape maintains performance in high-temperature environments and fast-running production lines.
Q5. Which type should I choose—100B, 200B-130, or 200B-170?
A: 100B: Light-duty splicing and tabbing
200B-130: Medium strength for most roll-closing tasks
200B-170: Heavy-duty splicing requiring maximum strength
