Home Splicing Tape

Splicing tapes comes in different types of carriers and adhesives to suit specific applications and environmental conditions. The choice of carrier and adhesive impacts the tape's performance, including its flexibility, strength, heat resistance, and compatibility with different substrates. Common carriers are paper, film, polyester, and Non-woven fabric. Common adhesives of splicing tape are rubber-based adhesives, acrylic adhesives, pressure-sensitive adhesive and hot-melt adhesive.

Types of Splicing Tape

High speed splicing tapes: these tapes for Repulpable paper, OPP film, Release paper liner, Label stock, web press printing, Leather and casting paper.

Zero-speed splicing tape: They are repulpable tape that use to paper mill production line. It operates while the expiring roll and the new roll are both stationary.

Single-Sided Splicing Tape: Commonly used for butt splicing, where two ends are joined without overlap.

Double-Sided Splicing Tape: Features adhesive on both sides, ideal for overlap splicing where one material is placed on top of another to extend length or replace a portion.

Repulpable Splicing Tape: Specifically designed for the paper industry, this tape dissolves in the papermaking process without contaminating the recycling process.

Features and Benefits

Seamless Joining: Splicing tape is designed to create a seamless join, crucial for processes like printing or winding, where any irregularity can cause material to tear or break.

Material Compatibility: Available in various materials and adhesives to match the specific needs of the substrates being joined, such as paper, plastic, metal, or fabric.

Ease of Application: Splicing tapes are generally easy to apply, requiring minimal downtime, and can often be applied on-the-fly in continuous process industries.

Strength and Durability: These tapes are engineered to maintain strong adhesion and can handle tension and stress without breaking, ensuring continuity and efficiency in production processes.

Applications

Printing and Packaging: Ensuring continuous operation during roll changes.

Paper Manufacturing: Joining ends of paper rolls in mills to maintain continuous paper production.

Electronics: Used in the assembly or repair of electronic components, where precision and reliability are critical.

Film and Photography: For splicing film reels or other photographic materials.
