Premium single-sided repulpable flatback tape for paper mill splicing, tabbing, and roll closing. High-tack heat-resistant adhesive withstands temperatures up to 400°F. FDA compliant, environmentally friendly design dissolves completely during recycling.
3M™ Repulpable Flatback Tape R3127 is a premium single-sided industrial web processing tape designed specifically for paper mill applications and converting operations. This thin repulpable tape features a kraft paper backing with an easy-release coating for smooth unwind and reliable performance. The tape is engineered for core starting, roll closing, tabbing, and butt splicing applications on a wide variety of paper grades, from lightweight bleached coated papers to heavier unbleached kraft and liner board materials.
The R3127 features a high-tack, heat-resistant transparent adhesive that provides instant adhesion to multiple paper grades while maintaining excellent bonding strength even at elevated temperatures up to 400°F (200°C). The repulpable adhesive formulation is specifically engineered to dissolve completely during the paper recycling process, eliminating the need to manually remove splices from waste and preventing contamination of paper mill broke. This environmentally responsible design meets strict FDA regulations (21 CFR 176.170 and 176.180) for components of paper and paperboard in contact with foods.
Available in white, blue, and kraft colors, this single-coated tape delivers consistent performance in both automatic and manual taping equipment. With a shelf life of 12 months from the date of manufacture, the R3127 comes in convenient 48 roll cases, making it ideal for high-volume industrial paper processing operations requiring reliable, efficient splicing solutions.
