*Repulpability judged according to TAPPI UM-213, 
Procedure A. It is important to follow the weight and 
quantity measurements for the fiber, splicing tape, and 
water. Non-representative results can occur if test 
guidelines are not followed.

For optimum results, firm, even rub-down 
pressure must be applied to the taped area 
to create the best possible adhesion between 
the tape and paper surface. A plastic wiper 
(3M

™

Hand Applicator PA1-B) or similar tool 

can be very effective in achieving proper, 
uniform pressure.

Sensing Tape 235 is easily

detected by the electric eyes
which trigger activation of the
cut off knife and bump roller
during a flying splice.

The mat’s specially formulated
adhesive system captures dirt 
on contact from shoe soles 
and other passing objects. The
adhesive locks dirt in place until
the sheet is renewed by pulling
on the numbered tab to remove.
The new sheet is ready for
immediate use.
