Tape Description

In web-fed printing, paper coating, and flexible packaging, machine stoppages to replace expired material rolls lead to severe operational downtime and material scrap. Web Splicing Tape solves this challenge by enabling continuous, uninterrupted manufacturing. By quickly joining the trailing edge of an expiring roll to the leading edge of a new reel at high operating speeds, operators avoid lengthy equipment re-threading and keep production lines running at full speed.

Engineered with high-tack adhesive technology and dynamic shear resistance, this specialized splice tape maintains a steadfast grip even under rapid acceleration and high tension. Its formulation resists the elevated temperatures and ambient humidity common in printing press drying units and lamination coaters. Incorporating a user-friendly slit liner design, SLAA Web Splicing Tape ensures precise positioning and clean roll changes without damaging delicate substrates or printing machinery.
Features & Benefits
- High-Speed Efficiency: Specifically designed to form an instantaneous, aggressive bond, enabling rapid web splicing without slowing down or interrupting active production lines.
- Superior High-Tack Adhesion: Features an advanced pressure-sensitive adhesive formulation that delivers high tack and immediate grip between the expiring web and the incoming reel.
- Versatile Surface Bonding: Provides reliable adhesion across difficult-to-bond substrates, including plastic films, polycoated paper, paperboards, and low-surface-energy (LSE) materials.
- Heat & Moisture Resistance: Engineered to withstand the extreme thermal conditions and humidity levels inherent in web printing drying ovens and coating lines.
- Zero Downtime Performance: Facilitates non-stop continuous processing, significantly lowering material waste, labor overhead, and overall operating costs.
- User-Friendly Slit Liner: Equipped with a split release liner that allows operators to fix the top sheet cleanly and position the splice tape accurately prior to reel activation.

Applications
- Web Printing Presses: Essential for continuous flying splices in flexographic printing, rotogravure printing, and high-speed web offset press lines.
- Flexible & Aseptic Packaging: Used on high-speed packaging lines to splice plastic films, barrier foils, and polycoated paperboards without stopping machinery.
- Coating & Lamination Lines: Ideal for extrusion coaters, lamination machinery, silicone coaters, and barrier coating units requiring uninterrupted material feed.
- Label Stock & Industrial Converting: Widely utilized in label stock manufacturing, slitting, and rewinding operations to join paper and film rolls seamlessly.
- Paper Mill & Recycling Processes: Suitable for continuous paper mill finishing, where repulpable tape variants ensure repulpability without contaminating recycling streams.

FAQ:

Q1: What is Web Splicing Tape used for?
A: Web Splicing Tape is used in continuous manufacturing processes (such as printing, coating, and packaging) to join an expiring roll of paper or film to a new roll without shutting down the production equipment.

Q2: Can SLAA Web Splicing Tape withstand drying oven temperatures in printing presses?
A: Yes. The tape is formulated with high thermal resistance and shear strength, allowing it to pass safely through press heating tunnels and drying ovens without debonding or slipping.

Q3: What is the benefit of a slit liner on single sided splicing tape?
A: A slit liner allows operators to peel off half of the protective backing to fix the top layer of the new roll in place, while keeping the remaining adhesive protected until final splice positioning.

Q4: Does SLAA offer repulpable options for paper mill applications?
A: Yes. SLAA supplies specialized repulpable tape formulations for paper manufacturing and converting applications, ensuring the spliced section dissolves cleanly during the recycling process without creating adhesive stickies.
