3M™ Repulpable Web Processing Double Coated Tape R3227 is a temporary splicing tape used to aide in the processing of paper within the paper mill. The backing and adhesive is engineered for optimum strength for every type of splice: flying, overlap, butt and general purpose. It provides the required shear strength, high tack and heat resistance necessary for dependable productivity.

High Shear Strength for Optimum Splicing

3M™ Repulpable Web Processing Double Coated Tape R3227 is a 3.5 mil, double coated, repulpable splicing tape designed for a variety of general purpose core starting, pull-through and temporary splicing applications. This tape is comprised of a tissue carrier backing and a repulpable adhesive designed to offer high shear strength, high tack and heat resistance required to perform at temperatures of up to 400°F/200°C. The tissue backing is thin and porous to allow adhesive penetration of sheet, and engineered for optimum strength for every type of splice. Mounted on a paper liner, this tape is easy to handle and apply. 3M™ Repulpable Web Processing Double Coated Tape R3227 is FDA compliant and complies with regulations for repulpable tape.

Recommended Applications



Core starting

Roll closing

Temporary and pull through splicing on coated and uncoated papers and cellulosic materials

Splicing at sheeting and other paper converting operations



Adhesion that Prevents Broke Contamination
3M™ Repulpable Web Processing Double Coated Tape R3227 features a repulpable adhesive that prevents broke contamination from non-repulpable splice material. It meets or exceeds TAPPI UM-213, procedure A, FDA complaint 21 CFR 176.170 (components of paper and paperboard in contact with aqueous and fatty food).
