Description
The 3M 7000001157 splicing tape is a linerless, double-coated tabbing tape designed for light-duty splices, core starts, and temporary bonds in paper, foil, and film applications. This splicing tape comes in a 72-yard roll with a 0.500" width and a film thickness of approximately 0.38 mil. It uses a UPVC carrier that resists chemicals and maintains dimensional stability during die-cutting, laminating, and hot-wire cutting. The product uses differential acrylic adhesives to provide a permanent medium-tack face and a repositionable anchorage side, resulting in clean removal when needed—a performance profile comparable to 3M Scotch double-sided tape 665 but optimized for linerless tabbing and splicing. The tape's all-plastic construction makes it ideal for foam and packaging applications that require hot-wire cutting, while also providing consistent anchorage for core tabbing, reclosable packaging, and temporary labels. To speed up processing and minimize rework, this 3M tabbing tape, which is made for production settings, strikes a balance between low residue removal, repeatable bond strength, and ease of dispensing.
Product Features and Benefits
Linerless, double-coated construction for efficient dispensing
The 3M 7000001157 has a linerless design that eliminates the need for a release liner, making manual or automatic dispensing easier and reducing material handling steps during splicing and tabbing operations.
UPVC film carrier for dimensional stability and chemical resistance
The 1.4 mil UPVC carrier is resistant to common chemicals and acts as a stable anchor for adhesives during die cutting, lamination, and hot-wire processing.
Differential acrylic adhesives for on-off and reclosable bonds
The medium-tack acrylic on the face of the 3M splicing tape and the repositionable adhesive on the mating side ensure secure core starts and clean removals for temporary bonding and labels.
Hot-wire cuttable for specialized packaging workflows
3M Scotch double-sided tape 665: Hot-wire cutting of foam and plastics is possible due to the complete plastic construction, which allows for precise shape cutting in protective packaging and cushioning applications.
Reliable temporary mounting and core tabbing performance
The 3M tabbing tape is designed for core starting, end tabbing, reclosable envelopes, and POP displays that must be held temporarily and then removed without leaving any residue.
Wide applicability across substrates and temperatures
Suitable for bonding papers, foils, films, and some plastics, with consistent performance over typical processing temperatures.
Frequently Asked Questions
What is 3M removable repositionable tape, and what distinguishes it from permanent splicing tape?
3M removable repositionable tape has a repositionable adhesive on one side for easy removal, whereas permanent splicing tape has stronger, non-repositionable adhesives for longer-term bonds.
What is 3M splicing tape used for?
Splicing tape is used to connect webbing, start and finish cores, create tabbed ends, and make quick repairs in converting and printing lines.
How to use splicing tape in core starts and tabbing?
Place the tape on the core or web edge, press to secure, and, if necessary, hot-wire or die-cut the assembly to the desired dimensions.
Can this tape be hot-wired and used as removable tabbing tape?
Yes, its all-plastic UPVC carrier and adhesive system are intended to allow hot-wire cutting and serve as removable tabbing tape when necessary.
