PRODUCT FAQ
-
What does "repulpable" mean for this tape?
Great question! Repulpable means this tape is designed to dissolve during the paper recycling process, so it won't contaminate recycled paper products. It's an environmentally responsible choice for paper mills and converting operations.
-
What size is each roll and how many come in a case?
Each roll measures 50 millimeters wide by 50 meters long, and you'll receive 18 rolls per case. That gives you plenty of tape to keep your operations running smoothly.
-
What makes the blue color important for this flying splice tape?
The blue color makes it easy to spot during production and helps operators quickly identify the splice on the paper web. It's a practical feature that improves visibility and operational efficiency on your converting equipment.
-
Is this tape suitable for high-speed paper converting applications?
Absolutely! The 3M™ Repulpable Flying Splice Tape 906B is specifically engineered for high-speed flying splice systems used in tissue, towel, and other paper converting operations. It provides reliable, clean splicing performance at production speeds.
3M™ Repulpable Tape 906B has earned its reputation as a trusted industry standard for flying splice applications, delivering exceptional performance through its high initial wet grab characteristics and outstanding shear strength properties. This specialized tape measures 3 mil (0.075 mm) in thickness and features a distinctive blue color. The construction consists of lightweight tissue that has been carefully coated on both sides with a sophisticated high-tack, high-shear-strength repulpable adhesive system, all mounted on a repulpable easy-release paper liner that facilitates smooth application. The tape demonstrates remarkable thermal stability, maintaining its performance integrity at temperatures reaching up to 400°F (204°C), making it suitable for demanding industrial environments.
Recommended Applications- Flying splice applications at off-machine coater stations
- Splicing operations on automatic splicing equipment
The repulpable construction of this tape provides a significant operational advantage by eliminating the necessity to manually remove splice materials from waste streams. The tape's inherent water dispersability characteristic effectively prevents the contamination of paper mill broke with non-repulpable substances, a critical concern in paper recycling operations. The product meets or exceeds the stringent requirements of TAPPI UM-213 under procedure A, contributing to reduced labor expenses and enhanced recovery value of waste paper materials. All components of both the adhesive formulation and backing material comply with indirect food additive regulations as outlined in 21 CFR 176.170 and 21 CFR 176.180.
3M™ Repulpable Tape 906B is not recommended for finished roll splices or applications where oozing and bleeding of adhesive may occur.
