3M 7100166353 Double Coated Tape 1 in X 108 Yd 4 Mil

Product Description

The 3M 7100166353 is a transparent double coated tape designed for demanding splicing and printing applications. It carries adhesive on both sides of a densified kraft paper liner, delivering high initial tack combined with reliable holding power across a wide range of substrates. The tape measures 1 inch wide and runs 108 yards per roll at a 4 mil total thickness. Its construction resists UV exposure, handles moderate heat, and tolerates humidity, making it dependable in press-room and converting environments. Licensed print technicians and bindery operators are the primary installers.

This tape is engineered for use in both zero-speed and flying splice operations during web printing and converting. The double-sided adhesive construction adds dimensional stability to the splice zone, reducing the risk of misalignment under tension. It bonds well to low and high surface energy substrates, with especially strong adhesion to most paper stocks. Typical installations include roll-to-roll press lines, label converting equipment, and similar paper-handling machinery where a clean, flat splice is required.

Key Features

• High initial tack with strong adhesion to most paper and board stocks
• Adhesive on both sides increases dimensional stability during zero-speed and flying splices
• 4 mil total thickness provides consistent caliper through splice points
• Densified kraft paper liner allows easy handling and clean removal from the roll
• UV resistance and moderate temperature and humidity tolerance support press-room performance
• Bonds to both low and high surface energy substrates

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or standard-supply tape for web-fed printing presses, label converters, and paper-handling equipment requiring a transparent double coated splicing tape.

Installation Notes

Application is typically performed by press operators or bindery technicians following press manufacturer splice procedures. Ensure the substrate surface is clean and dry before application to achieve full adhesive contact. Avoid stretching the tape during placement to preserve dimensional stability at the splice. Follow any applicable equipment lockout procedures when working on stopped or slow-speed roll stands.
