Splicing Tape, Splittable, 33 m Length, 50 mm Width, 5 mil Thickness, Blue, Repulpable Adhesive, Repulpable Paper Backing, 100 °F Maximum Operating, 40 °F Minimum Operating

3M™ repulpable flying splice tape R5348 is a 5 mil splicing tape ideal for lower temperature applications including newspaper, gravure, offset and flexographic printing as well as offline splice preparation and subsequent roll storage. It features easy release break-open mechanism for fast, smooth flying splices. This straight across tape eliminates complex or multi-tape setup, saving time. R5348 is ideal for low to medium weight applications such as newspaper rolls. 3M™ repulpable flying splice tape R5348 is ideal for low to medium temperature ovens on a range of substrates. Its 2.5 mil repulpable adhesive is suitable for light to medium-weight paper as well as substrates including polyethylene, BOPP, polyester, cast polypropylene and aluminum foil. This splittable flying splice tape features a split liner that allows for easy roll preparation. The 3M™ proprietary break-open mechanism releases easily for smooth, reliable splices. Recommended applications - printing using low- to medium-temperature ovens for drying (40 to 100 °F ) light to medium weight newspaper printing, gravure and offset Flexographic printing on high surface energy substrates. Offline splice preparation prevents contamination unlike the competitor, 3M™ repulpable flying splice tape R5348 is fiber free. This can result in less contamination on your blankets and throughout your process. This may lead to fewer printing defects and less downtime spent on cleanup. Both the adhesive and the liner of our tape R5348 are repulpable, which prevents broke contamination caused by non-repulpable fibers helping to increase the value of waste paper. The adhesive and backing meet or exceed TAPPI UM-213, procedure A. For decades, 3M™ products have been at work in paper mills and printing plants helping to improve the quality of the work that goes out and the efficiency of how it gets done. From paper web splicing to plate mounting and packaging the finished job, 3M™ applies science life for solutions and service throughout your operation. 3M™ 7000124770, Splittable, 33 m Length, 50 mm Width, 5 mil Thickness, Blue, Repulpable Adhesive, Repulpable Paper Backing, 100 °F Maximum Operating, 40 °F Minimum Operating
