The splitting strips are delicate parts of the product.
Make sure the splitting strip is not damaged before you apply tesa® EasySplice.
When you apply tesa® EasySplice, leave a gap of about one thumb’s width to the edge of the roll, to avoid exposed adhesive running through the machine.
Always use a squeegee when applying tesa® EasySplice to avoid premature opening and flying snippets.
To avoid damage to the web, trim the paper’s edges on both sides of tesa® EasySplice to avoid air pockets underneath the unsecured edges.
Make sure that the flag is approximately as long as the distance between the bumper/contact roller and the knife.
This will help to have the best bond between two webs.
For higher machine speeds, we recommend using tesa® EasySplice in a wide width to make sure there is enough adhesive contact area for a reliable splice.
Make sure the speeds of the new and old reel are synchronized.
This is essential for a secure contact between the two reels.
Don’t cover the open contact adhesive if you use reinforcement tape or liquid glue in addition to our tesa® EasySplice.
It might negatively influence the adhesive’s performance.
