weight and splicing speed limits given do not imply that this product
will not perform well on papers outside these limits. They are only an
indication that testing has not been completed outside these limits.
We recommend consultation with 3M technical service for processes
involving paper weights and coater speeds outside the abovementioned limits. Please note that thorough testing is necessary to
ensure suitability of this product to the user’s individual splicing
