Industrial-grade repulpable flatback tape for paper splicing and roll closing with high-tack adhesive, heat-resistant to 400°F, FDA compliant, 12mm x 55m rolls, 72 rolls per case
3M™ Repulpable Flatback Tape R3127 is a premium single-sided web processing tape specifically engineered for industrial paper manufacturing and converting applications. This innovative tape features a repulpable construction that eliminates the need to remove splices from waste, preventing contamination of paper mill broke and ensuring compliance with environmental standards. The flat back paper backing is ideal for splicing, tabbing, and roll closing applications across a wide variety of paper grades, from lightweight bleached coated and uncoated papers to specialty grades.
The tape delivers exceptional performance with its high-tack, heat-resistant transparent adhesive that provides instant adhesion to diverse paper products. With a maximum operating temperature of 400°F (200°C), this tape significantly reduces splicing failures in high-temperature web applications. The easy-release coating ensures smooth unwind during application, making it suitable for both manual and automatic core taping equipment. At 4.2 mil thickness with a 12mm width and 55-meter length per roll, each case contains 72 rolls for continuous production needs.
This product meets stringent FDA regulations (21 CFR 176.170 and 21 CFR 176.180) for indirect food additive components and exceeds TAPPI UM-213 standards, making it compliant for use in food contact applications. The repulpable adhesive formulation ensures that the tape dissolves completely during the pulping process, maintaining paper quality and mill efficiency while supporting sustainable manufacturing practices.
