3M 7100028171 Double Coated Tape White 1.42 in 5.5 Mil

Product Description

The 3M 7100028171 is a heavy-duty, double-coated repulpable tape built for demanding converting and paper-processing environments. It features a paper carrier coated on both sides with a high-tack, high-shear-strength adhesive that bonds quickly and holds firmly under production conditions. At 1.42 inches wide and 5.5 mil total thickness, this tape is engineered for core starting, roll closing, and temporary splicing operations. The repulpable construction ensures it breaks down cleanly in the pulping process, eliminating contamination risk in paper mill broke. An easy-release repulpable liner supports manual, semi-automated, and automated dispensing without jamming or misfeeding.

This tape is used in paper converting, tissue manufacturing, and printing operations where temporary or permanent splicing is required. It is suited for roll-to-roll processing lines, core winding equipment, and automated tape applicators. Its stable construction maintains consistent adhesive performance across a range of climate conditions, making it reliable in both ambient and variable-humidity plant environments. Operations requiring FDA-compliant materials for indirect food contact applications will find this tape meets the requirements of FDA 21 CFR 176.170 and FDA 21 CFR 176.180.

Key Features

• Repulpable adhesive and liner meet or exceed TAPPI UM-213 Procedure A, preventing paper mill broke contamination
• High-tack adhesive delivers fast, reliable core starting to support production throughput
• High shear strength produces strong splices with improved runnability on converting lines
• Easy-release repulpable liner compatible with manual, semi-automated, and automated dispensing systems
• Meets FDA 21 CFR 176.170 and FDA 21 CFR 176.180 indirect food additive requirements
• Stable construction performs consistently across varying climate and humidity conditions

Compatibility

Designed for core starting, roll closing, and temporary splicing applications in paper converting, tissue, and printing operations using manual or automated tape dispensing equipment.

Installation Notes

Application is typically performed by press operators or converting line technicians. Ensure the substrate surface is clean and dry before applying. When used in automated dispensing systems, verify liner release tension is compatible with the dispenser feed mechanism. Follow all applicable plant safety protocols when working around moving equipment or rotating rolls.
