3M 7100028176 Repulpable Double Coated Tape White 2.83in

Product Description

The 3M 7100028176 is a repulpable, heavy-duty double coated tape designed for industrial paper-handling operations. It features a paper carrier coated on both sides with a high-tack, high-shear-strength adhesive that is fully repulpable, making it safe for use in paper mill environments where contamination of broke is a concern. The tape is white and measures 2.83 inches wide with a 5.5 mil overall thickness. It includes an easy-release, repulpable liner compatible with manual, semi-automated, and automated dispensing equipment. Meets TAPPI UM-213 procedure A requirements.

This tape is engineered for core starting, roll closing, and temporary splicing applications in paper converting and printing operations. Its high-tack adhesive allows fast, reliable adhesion during core starting to reduce downtime and improve throughput. The stable construction delivers consistent performance across a range of climate conditions. It also meets the requirements of indirect food additive regulations under FDA 21 CFR 176.170 and FDA 21 CFR 176.180, making it suitable for facilities that handle food-grade paper products.

Compatibility

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

Installation Notes

Application is typically performed by machine operators or converting line technicians. Ensure the substrate surface is clean, dry, and free of dust or oils before applying the tape for maximum adhesion. Follow all equipment manufacturer guidelines when loading tape into automated dispensers. Consult facility safety procedures before handling adhesive products in food-adjacent environments.
