3M 7000048763 Polyester Film Tape 853 12in X 72yd

Product Description

The 3M 7000048763 is a transparent polyester film tape designed for high tension butt splicing applications across a wide range of paper, plastic, and non-traditional substrate materials. The film carrier measures 2.2 mil (0.055 mm) thick and is coated with a solvent-resistant acrylic adhesive that maintains bond integrity in chemically aggressive environments. At 12 inches wide and 72 yards long, this roll format suits continuous or production splicing workflows. Industrial maintenance technicians, press operators, and converting-line personnel are the primary installers and users of this tape in manufacturing and processing environments.

This tape is suited for high-speed converting lines, printing operations, and material processing facilities where butt splicing is performed on paper rolls, plastic films, and specialty substrates. The acrylic adhesive system offers high resistance to common industrial chemicals and solvents, making it appropriate for environments where tape contact with process chemicals is likely. The transparent film allows visual inspection of the splice without removing the tape.

Key Features

• 2.2 mil polyester film carrier provides dimensional stability under high tension
• Solvent-resistant acrylic adhesive maintains bond in chemically aggressive environments
• Transparent construction allows visual splice inspection without tape removal
• 12-inch width suits wide-web butt splicing applications
• 72-yard roll length reduces changeover frequency on production lines
• Compatible with paper, plastic film, and other non-traditional substrate materials

Compatibility

Designed for high tension butt splicing of paper, plastic, and other non-traditional materials in converting, printing, and industrial processing applications.

Installation Notes

Application should be performed by press operators or converting technicians familiar with butt splice procedures. Ensure substrate surfaces are clean and free of dust, oil, or moisture before tape application for maximum adhesion. Apply firm, even pressure across the full width of the tape to eliminate air pockets and ensure full contact. Follow facility safety protocols when working near moving web equipment.
