Repulpable High-speed Splicing Tape

Repulpable Eco-Friendly Paper Splicing Tape for Continuous High-Speed Roll Changeovers

The High-Speed Splicing Tape No.1043 is a repulpable tape engineered for seamless, high-efficiency paper roll splicing in the paper manufacturing and converting industries. Made with a repulpable paper backing and a water-soluble modified acrylic adhesive, this tape is designed to dissolve completely during the paper recycling process, ensuring zero contamination and sustainable production performance.

100% Repulpable & Contamination-Free Design
High Initial Tack for Instant Flying Splices
High-Temperature Resistance Up to 200°C
Precision Slit Liner for Easy Positioning

Tape Description

Engineered for paper mills, commercial printers, coaters, and corrugated packaging converters, SLAA High-Speed Splicing Tape solves the costly challenges of web breaks, downtime, and recycling contamination. As a premium repulpable splicing tape, both the backing substrate and adhesive system are fully water-soluble according to TAPPI standards, allowing paper web waste to be reintroduced directly into the hydrapulper without leaving non-dispersible sticky residues ("stickies").

This specialized splicing tape features an integrated split/slit release liner that enables quick, error-free attachment to paper rolls. Its low total thickness minimizes joint profile height, allowing splices to pass smoothly through narrow nip rollers, coating heads, and printing units without mechanical interference. With continuous heat resistance up to 200°C, it resists web tension, mechanical shear, and thermal drying tunnels without loss of adhesion or web slippage.
Features & Benefits
- Fully Repulpable & Sustainable Construction: Both paper carrier and adhesive dissolve completely during alkali and water pulping, supporting circular paper manufacturing and eliminating sticky contamination in recycled pulp.
- Immediate High-Tack Adhesion: Establishes an instant, high-shear bond across diverse paper grades—including heavy kraft, coated paper, newsprint, and specialty papers—for reliable flying splices at full web speed.
- 200°C Thermal & Shear Resistance: Withstands severe oven-drying temperatures, heated calender rolls, and high web tension without soft-melting or breaking.
- Controlled Opening & Smooth Changeovers: Engineered with balanced release characteristics to ensure clean roll release during dynamic high-speed splicing sequences.
- Ultra-Thin Profile: Ultra-low splice thickness reduces mechanical shock on delicate printing plates, blades, and converting rollers.

Applications
- Paper Mill Roll Splicing: Executing dynamic flying splices and manual lap splices during continuous paper manufacturing and rewind operations.
- Commercial Printing Presses: High-speed web roll joining in rotogravure, flexographic, offset, and web-fed digital printing plants.
- Paper Converting & Coating Lines: Continuous roll splicing on paper laminators, extrusion coaters, and corrugator paper feeds with zero downstream contamination.
- Sustainable Packaging Manufacturing: Roll joining in eco-friendly paper bag, folding carton, and corrugated board production line processing.

FAQ:

Q1. What does "repulpable" mean in High-Speed Splicing Tape?
A: "Repulpable" means that both the paper backing and the acrylic adhesive are completely water-soluble and water-dispersible. When scrap paper containing the tape is recycled in a hydrapulper, the tape dissolves fully, leaving no adhesive residue or sticky contaminants ("stickies") in the recycled paper stock.

Q2. Can this paper splicing tape handle high temperatures in drying ovens?
A: Yes. SLAA No. 1043 is engineered to withstand temperatures up to 200°C (392°F), making it suitable for paper converting, coating, and printing processes that utilize high-heat drying tunnels.

Q3. How does the slit liner feature assist during application?
A: The slit liner allows operators to expose only half of the adhesive strip at a time. This enables fast, precise positioning along the leading edge of the top paper layer before exposing the secondary adhesive zone for the final splice setup.

Q4. Is High-Speed Splicing Tape suitable for heavy-weight paper stocks?
A: Yes. Formulated with high initial tack and high shear strength, this splicing tape provides immediate, heavy-duty holding power suitable for joining both light tissue/newsprint and heavy-weight paper or linerboard stocks.

Q5. Does this repulpable splicing tape leave sticky residues on converting equipment?
A: No. Because the tape profile is ultra-thin and fully water-soluble, it passes cleanly through nip rollers, coating blades, and printing units without flagging, oozing adhesive, or causing machinery jam-ups.
