1 3 Repulpable s for the Pulp and Paper Industry 1 A broad selection that lets you match your tape to the demands of the job

2 3M Repulpable s Put It All Together. Strength. Simplicity. Selection. Service. Savings. To achieve true quality, a tape must meet all your needs. Outstanding strength is not enough. Your tape also has to be easy to use. Easy to choose. Readily available. And fully repulpable. 3M Repulpable s deliver the whole package. Strength and performance that holds up. So failed splices don t hold you up. The shear strength of our repulpable tapes can stand up under high web tension. That means less potential incidence of splice slippage. Less chance of exposed adhesive. And less risk of web breakage caused by blocking. Our tapes match shear strength with excellent peel strength. Their adhesive power and heat resistance can help keep your webs moving smoothly. You can reduce splice failures and costly re-splicing. Simplicity that cuts prep time up front. And downtime later. High performance tapes perform to their full potential when applied correctly. That s why 3M comes up with innovations like repositionable butt splicing tapes for simpler setup with fewer prep personnel. Strong liners on flying splice tapes enable precise tearing of paster patterns. From our easy release liners to our high performance adhesives, we help assure successful splice setup. As a result, you can save time during setup itself and later on in processing when correctly applied tapes do the job they are supposed to do. 2 Over the past four decades, we ve built our reputation as an industry leader by being responsive to the increasingly complex needs of paper producers. Today, our customer base consists of clients who demand no less of their product than we demand of ours. True quality. Selection that includes permanent and temporary tapes. With permanent satisfaction. We offer more tape choices. Permanent, temporary and general purpose, double coated and single coated repulpable tapes. s for finished mill splicing, flying splicing, core starting and roll closing. Giving you the right tape for the job helps assure your satisfaction. We also offer dispensing systems and applicators. Plus a full line of related products, like sorbents and floor marking safety tapes. The products you need with the confidence that you re getting quality. 3M quality and reliability. Service that addresses your unique problems. With unique solutions. Our sales representatives work with you to understand the unique complexities of your process. With our complete selection of repulpable tapes, they can quickly help you find the right product for your application. And connect you with technical specialists when necessary. Help is just a phone call away. The tapes themselves are close by too. With our extensive authorized distributor network, we can get what you need, when you need it. Savings that you ll realize during the job. And after the job is over. Of course, the reliability of our tapes helps assure web passage through your processing equipment. And that helps save you the time and expense of dealing with splice failures. The repulpability of our tapes means you can save again. Designed to disperse in water, 3M Repulpable s can help reduce broke contamination.

3 Permanent D/C Repulpable Finished Mill Splices Permanent Repulpable s Designed To Go The Distance 3 These are our most durable tapes. That s because they have to do more than just survive the mill s offmachine coaters, supercalenders, and winders. The same splices stay with the paper for additional processing through your customers printing, slitting, perforating and folding equipment. Our permanent tapes are more than equal to the task. They provide a high level of shear strength. Their firm adhesive doesn t ooze or bleed. And they offer reliable adhesion even up to drying temperatures as high as 400 F (204 C) A tissue coated on both sides with a clear, repulpable adhesive on an easy release paper liner that is fully repulpable. Available in either blue (9952 tape) or white (9952W tape). Provides high strength splices and stands up to most high temperature operations including supercalendering and printing with no bleeding or oozing under pressure. Application ideas include overlap finished mill splices, sheeter splices, core starting and roll closure. Ideal for carbonless papers because it will not desensitize or image the sheet A tissue coated on both sides with a light green repulpable adhesive. Includes an easy release kraft paper liner that is semi-bleached and fully repulpable. Ideal for static overlap splicing and high temperature overlap splicing of papers, foils and plastic films. uncoated paper grades A lightweight tissue coated on both sides with a light green repulpable adhesive. Liner is a non-repulpable, translucent red plastic film (PVC). High shear strength of tape helps reduce splice slippage and resulting web breakage caused by blocking. Can be used for static overlap splicing and high temperature overlap splicing of many papers, foils and plastic films. uncoated paper grades Finished Mill Splice Application: Perfect Or Safety Splice Application: Web Offset Splice A lightweight tissue coated on both sides with a blue, repulpable adhesive. Furnished on a repulpable easy release paper liner. For overlap finished splices in paper mills. Combination of high initial adhesion and very good heat resistance makes it ideal for the difficult, raw surfaces of LWC and other new coating formulations. thickness: 2.5 mils (0.06mm), including many LWC coating formulations Technique tips 1. Angle the splice across the web (5 or more) to avoid concentrating the splice buildup at only one spot on the roll and to facilitate smooth running through subsequent machine operations. 2. Recess tape about 1/16" (1.6mm) to 1/8" (3.2mm) from the leading edge and trailing edge of paper to protect against splice adhering to adjacent paper laps. 3. Rub down splice with a P.A.-1 plastic squeegee or similar tool to ensure maximum adhesion. 4 Permanent Repulpable s
