3M 7000048417 Polyester Splicing Tape Black 2in X 72yd

Product Description

The 3M 7000048417 is a black polyester film splicing tape designed for pre-splicing photographic film ahead of processing runs. Built on a 2.5 mil polyester film backing with a high-tack rubber adhesive, it delivers a firm, reliable bond that holds through automated film handling equipment. The tape measures 2 inches wide and runs 72 yards per roll, making it well suited for production-volume applications. Licensed film processing technicians and darkroom operators are the primary installers. Secondary uses include sealing, labeling, protecting film edges, and edging tasks where a strong rubber adhesive is required.

This tape is used in photographic film processing environments, both professional lab settings and production-scale processing operations. The rubber adhesive system performs well where a high-tack bond is needed on smooth or coated substrates. It is also applicable in light industrial tasks involving sealing, edging, or surface protection where a black polyester backing provides opacity and dimensional stability.

Key Features

• 2.5 mil polyester film backing for dimensional stability and tear resistance
• High-tack rubber adhesive for firm bonding on smooth and coated surfaces
• Black film provides opacity suitable for light-sensitive processing environments
• 2 inches wide by 72 yards per roll for production-volume use
• Suitable for secondary applications including sealing, labeling, and surface protection

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style splicing tape for photographic film pre-splice applications in professional and production film processing equipment.

Installation Notes

Application is performed by qualified film processing technicians following equipment manufacturer guidelines. Ensure the film surface is clean and free of dust or debris before applying the splice. Handle in appropriate lighting conditions to avoid exposure issues with light-sensitive materials. Follow facility safety and handling protocols when working with processing chemicals in the same environment.
