Industrial-grade repulpable single-coated tape with strong kraft paper backing and high-tack heat-resistant adhesive for paper splicing, tabbing, and roll closing applications up to 400°F.
3M™ Repulpable Strong Single Coated Tape R3187 is a premium industrial tape specifically engineered for the paper manufacturing and converting industries. This single-sided tape features a strong, extensible kraft paper backing coated with a high-tack, transparent repulpable adhesive that provides exceptional bonding strength to a wide variety of paper grades. The tape is ideal for splicing, tabbing, roll closing, and core starting applications on paper production lines. With its repulpable construction, this tape eliminates the need to remove splices from waste, preventing contamination of paper mill broke and maintaining product purity throughout the recycling process.
The R3187 tape is engineered to deliver reliable performance in demanding industrial environments. Its high-tack, heat-resistant adhesive provides instant adhesion and reduces splice failure in high-temperature applications, withstanding temperatures up to 400°F (200°C). The conformable backing ensures excellent shear strength and reliable performance across various paper grades, from light to heavy weight papers. This tape meets FDA compliance requirements for indirect food additive regulations (21 CFR 176.170 and 21 CFR 176.180) and adheres to TAPPI UM-213 standards, making it suitable for food-contact applications.
Each case contains 48 rolls of tape, with each roll measuring 18mm wide by 55 meters long and 7.5 mils thick. The blue color provides excellent visibility on production lines, helping operators quickly identify splice locations. With a 12-month shelf life and availability in multiple colors (blue, white, and kraft), this tape offers versatility and reliability for paper mills, converters, and printing facilities seeking consistent, high-performance splicing solutions.
