FAQ:

  1. Q1. Is Paper Splicing Tape No. 109 fully repulpable?

    A: Yes. Both the paper backing substrate and the pressure-sensitive adhesive system are 100% repulpable according to industry TAPPI standards, meaning the tape dissolves completely during hydrapulping without creating sticky adhesive contaminants in recycled pulp.

  2. Q2. How do the splitting strips work during high-speed splicing?

    A: The integrated splitting strips allow the new paper reel to be held securely during setup and acceleration, then separate smoothly upon splice contact so the new web unfolds cleanly without tearing the paper surface or interfering with downstream coating processes.

  3. Q3. Does this tape work on both coated and uncoated paper grades?

    A: Yes. The high-tack water-dispersible adhesive is engineered to penetrate both smooth, non-porous coated papers and porous, uncoated paper stocks for instant splice reliability.

  4. Q4. Why is minimal splice thickness important for paper mills?

    A: A low splice profile ensures the joint passes safely through tight coater blades, printing nips, and supercalender rolls without catching, tearing the web, or damaging expensive machinery components.

  5. Q5. Can this tape be used in automated flying splice systems?

    A: Yes. No. 109 is specifically designed for automatic high-speed flying splicers, allowing paper mills and printing plants to change rolls seamlessly at full operating speeds.
