3M 7000116528 Repulpable Splicing Tape 9990N 50mm X 33m

Product Description

The 3M 7000116528 is a repulpable double-coated splicing tape designed for newspaper web splicing operations. It features a low-release split liner and a built-in sensor strip that signals splicing equipment during high-speed press runs. The tape is wound in rolls measuring 50 millimeters wide by 33 meters long and weighs 0.7 pounds per roll. Designed for use in automated splicers, this product allows press operators and press room technicians to execute flying or zero-speed splices without stopping the press, maintaining production continuity and minimizing downtime on web-fed newspaper printing lines.

This splicing system is suited for newspaper and commercial web offset printing applications where repulpability is required. Because the tape and its adhesive are fully repulpable, spliced rolls can enter standard paper recycling and repulping streams without contaminating the pulp furnish. The built-in sensor is engineered to interface with press-mounted detection systems, triggering the splice sequence at the correct moment. Minimum order quantity for this item is 8 rolls per order.

Key Features

• Double-coated construction provides adhesion to both the expiring roll and the new roll during the splice
• Low-release split liner allows sequential exposure of each adhesive face during splice preparation
• Built-in sensor strip integrates with press detection systems to automate splice triggering
• Fully repulpable adhesive and carrier — compatible with standard paper recycling streams
• Roll format: 50 millimeters wide, 33 meters long for consistent coverage on standard newspaper web widths

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style splicing solution for automated newspaper web press splicers that accommodate 50 millimeter splicing tape with sensor detection capability.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by press room technicians or bindery/pressroom personnel trained in web splicing procedures. Before preparing the splice, confirm the expiring roll diameter meets the press splicer minimum diameter threshold per the press manufacturer guidelines. Follow the split-liner removal sequence carefully to avoid premature adhesive contact. Always verify sensor strip orientation and position relative to the press detector before initiating a press run.
