GLEN ROCK, Pa. -- Adhesives Research, a leading developer and manufacturer of custom pressure-sensitive adhesive tapes (PSAs) specialty coatings, films and laminates, has introduced three new high-performance splicing tapes, ARclad 92719, ARclad 92495Y and ARclad 8811HC.

ARclad 92719 is a double-faced tape specifically designed to deliver an aggressive bond to one surface, while providing a clean release without adhesive residue from a second surface. Featuring a 2 mil clear polyester film carrier coated with a high-tack adhesive on one side, and a lower-tack adhesive on the other side, ARclad 92719 is well-suited for bonding films such as polyethylene, polypropylene and polyester in core starts and flying splice applications.

ARclad 92495Y is a yellow, single-faced, self-wound polyester film coated with a high-performance acrylic adhesive that delivers reliable bonds for applications where high temperature resistance and aggressive adhesion are required. This tape is recommended for single- and double-butt splicing, automatic splicing operations and safety splices and delivers quick bonds to polycoated, kraft, and board papers, fabrics; polyester; polyvinyl chloride; and composite materials.

ARclad 8811HC is a double-faced tape designed to meet the needs of high-speed flying splice applications. Featuring a white paper carrier coated on both sides with a high coat weight of an aggressive rubber-based adhesive, ARclad 8811HC offers "quick stick" properties to a wide variety of difficult bonding surfaces in high-speed applications. This tape grabs easily to flexible films, polycoated papers, low surface energy films, foils, polycoated papers and paper-boards. Components of this tape meet FDA requirements for indirect food contact per applicable sections of 21CFR part 175.105.

Adhesives Research offers a complete line of ARclad high-performance PSA splicing products ranging from repulpable tapes for the paper industry to non-repulpable tape technologies for applications in the converting, laminating, extrusion and metallizing industries. ARclad PSA splicing tapes provide a consistent thickness of adhesive for superior adhesion with less mess, clean up or solvents than other splicing methods.
