A Missed Splice Isn’t Just 
Bad News. It’s No News
Tape Is Totally Repulpable
It’s Easy To Apply
Stock roll is moved into
position, with leading edge
flush against underlying
paper and squared evenly 
at the bottom. The two 
bottom points of the “W” 
pattern are marked, with 
a tab placed at both sides 
of each point.
3M
Repulpable Paster Tape
913 is positioned to form 
the leading edge of the “W”
pattern. Additional strips are
used to complete the first
point. Then the second point
of the “W” pattern is created
in the same manner.
Remove the liner from the
tape, without removing the
liner on the area of the web
that will come into contact
with the drive belt. This 
section of liner remains 
on throughout the paster
sequence so that tape does 
not stick to the drive belt.
Tape Eliminates Disadvantages Of Glue
Tape Can 
Prevent Costly
Missed Splices
A missed splice on a web 
press can be costly in terms 
of downtime, labor, and paper.
3M
Repulpable Paster Tape
913 is designed for outstanding
performance in combination
with 3M
Repulpable Nose 
Tab 9030. With each 3M 
precut nose tab a uniform 
three inches in length, it’s easy
to properly position them. In
addition, we offer 3M
Hand
Applicator PA1-B to help
ensure a consistent bond. 
Tape Performance 
Is Not Dependent 
On Temperature
Or Humidity
Whether you store your paper
or take it directly from rail to
press, you can apply 3M
Repulpable Paster Tape 913
and 3M
Repulpable Nose Tab
9030 with confidence. The
strength of its bond holds up
even when temperature and
humidity undergo dramatic 
changes. This reliability 
under varying conditions 
can help reduce paper storage
costs. More importantly, it
helps avoid failed splices,
costly downtime and missed
deadlines. 
Tape Holds 
Its Splice At
Temperatures
Reaching 400°F
That’s how hot it can get 
in the web press dryer. 
And 3M technology gives 
this tape the ability to take 
the heat where many other 
typical tapes and glues fail.

The Presses Roll On
* Repulpability judged according to TAPPI UM-213, Procedure A.
Press-ready “W” 
and “V” pattern.
Working from the center 
and the sides of the “W,” 
the paper is torn back where
it meets the edge of the tape.
After the paper is torn, the
tape must be on the leading
edge of the pattern, not
recessed back.

The 3M
Repulpable Paster Tape 
and 3M
Repulpable Nose Tab
combination offers faster setup time
than many typical glues because you
don’t have to adjust the mix or wait
for glue to dry. Simply apply the tape
and remove the easy-release liner, 
and the tape is ready whenever you 
are — always with consistent tack
and aggressive “wet grab.” And no
one in the press-room is going to
miss the messiness of glue.
That’s why 3M
Repulpable Paster
Tape 913 and 3M
Repulpable
Nose Tab 9030 are good news.
When it comes to getting the news
out on time day after day, no other 
splicing alternative offers the
reliability of 3M
Repulpable
