3M 7000042758 Double Coated Tape 10 Inch 36 Yd Transparent

Product Description

The 3M 7000042758 is a double coated transparent tape designed to deliver a reliable balance of high initial tack and sustained holding power across a wide range of substrates, with particular strength on paper stocks. The tape features adhesive on both sides, which increases dimensional stability and simplifies handling during high-speed printing operations. At 4 mil total thickness and 10 inches wide on a 36-yard roll, it is well suited for demanding splicing workflows where consistency and clean release from the liner are critical. A densified kraft paper liner supports fast, accurate application in both zero-speed and flying splice configurations.

This tape is primarily used in commercial and industrial printing environments where reliable paper splicing is required. It performs in both zero-speed splice setups and flying splice operations on web-fed printing equipment. The adhesive system handles low and high surface energy substrates and provides good resistance to UV exposure, moderate heat, and humidity, making it practical across varied pressroom conditions. Print shops, binderies, and converting operations are the typical installation environments for this product.

Key Features

• Double-sided adhesive construction increases dimensional stability for consistent handling
• High initial tack with strong adhesion to most paper stocks and varied surface energy substrates
• Good UV resistance and moderate temperature and humidity resistance
• Densified kraft paper liner for clean, controlled release during application
• Suited for both zero-speed and flying splice printing applications
• Transparent construction for low-profile, clean finished appearance

Compatibility

Designed for use in web-fed printing and converting equipment requiring double coated tape for paper splicing applications on low and high surface energy substrates.

Installation Notes

Application is typically performed by press operators or converting technicians familiar with splice tape procedures. Ensure the substrate surface is clean and dry before applying the tape to achieve full adhesive contact. Follow equipment manufacturer guidelines for splice tension and timing when used in flying splice configurations. Avoid stretching the tape during application to maintain dimensional stability.
