line flying splices, furnished with repulpable acrylic adhesives on
both sides and an easy release paper liner (also repulpable), with
liner score for easy manual application and a built-in sensor layer

Flying splice of paper webs in newsprint, offset litho, gravure and
is important to follow the weight and quantity measurement for fibre,
splicing tape and water. Non-representative results can occur if test
guidelines are not followed. The adhesives, carrier and liner are
repulpable according to this test method, however, the presence of
the aluminium sensor in the construction renders the tape non-
the limits of successful testing of this and other related constructions
carried out during field trials on core and belt driven presses or on
other appropriate paper manufacturing equipment. The paper
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 press speeds outside the abovementioned limits. Please note that thorough testing is necessary to
ensure suitability of this product to the user’s individual splicing
Storage
Sensor Repulpable R9990 should be stored in the original carton at
21°C (70°F) & 50 % Relative Humidity …..or refrigerated in the
original carton for maximum shelf life. If the product is refrigerated, it
should be allowed to warm to a temperature of at least 21°C before
using. It is recommended that the protective liner be removed just
prior to splicing, rather than leaving paper rolls with prepared splice
Shelf Life
Sensor Repulpable R9990 has a shelf life of e.g. 12 months from
date of manufacture by 3M when stored in the original carton at
safety information before using the product.
For information please contact your local 3M Office.
