In high-speed web converting and packaging, machinery stoppages to change rolls drastically reduce overall equipment effectiveness (OEE). Film Splicing Tape solves this challenge by enabling seamless, continuous manufacturing. By securely joining the trailing end of an expiring material roll to the leading edge of a fresh reel at full operational speed, operators avoid costly machine shutdowns, manual re-threading, and material waste.
Constructed with a strong, conformable backing and a high-tack pressure-sensitive adhesive system, this industrial splice tape resists extreme shear forces during rapid acceleration. The integrated slit liner simplifies precise alignment and fixation, while paper-backed splitting strips ensure a controlled, clean release as the new roll engages. Designed to withstand severe tension in flexographic presses and film slitting lines, SLAA Film Splicing Tape ensures continuous production output with uncompromised bond integrity.

Q1: What is Film Splicing Tape used for in manufacturing?
A: Film Splicing Tape is used to join the end of a finished material roll (film, paper, or foil) to the start of a new roll during active manufacturing. This enables continuous production (flying splices) without stopping the machine or re-threading material.
Q2: Why is a high tack splicing tape required for PE and BOPP films?
A: Polyethylene (PE) and Polypropylene (OPP/BOPP) are low-surface-energy (LSE) plastics that standard tapes struggle to grip instantly. A specialized high tack splicing tape features aggressive adhesives engineered to grab and hold these slick surfaces instantaneously at high speeds.
Q3: How do the slit liner and splitting strips benefit the operator?
A: The slit liner allows precise folded positioning and top-sheet holding on the new roll. The splitting strips then allow the new reel to separate cleanly and smoothly upon contact at full web speed, preventing tears or line jams.
Q4: Can SLAA Film Splicing Tape withstand high web tension in printing presses?
A: Yes. SLAA Film Splicing Tape is designed with high tensile strength and high shear resistance, ensuring the splice seam remains fully intact as it passes through tension rollers, drying ovens, and printing units.
