Expertise in High-Performance Splicing Solutions
Adhesives Research is a global leader in the development of high-performance splicing tapes engineered for reliability in high-speed converting, coating, and laminating operations. Our ARclad® splicing technologies are trusted worldwide for their ability to maintain strong adhesion, clean removability, and process stability across a range of substrates and environments.
With decades of material science expertise and application experience, we design splicing adhesives that help converters and manufacturers reduce downtime, improve yield, and maintain consistent web transfer. Each solution is built to perform under demanding line speeds, temperatures, and environmental conditions.
Here are our Pressure-Sensitive Adhesive (PSA) Technologies for Splicing:
Rubber-Based Adhesives
Deliver high initial tack and reliable bonding on paper, film, and foil substrates. Ideal for fast-moving web transfer and continuous process operations.
Acrylic-Based Adhesives
Provide strong solvent, UV, and heat resistance with stable adhesion for high-speed coating and laminating applications.
Silicone-Based Adhesives
Designed for extreme temperatures and low surface energy materials, offering excellent release control and long-term performance stability.
Solutions Designed for Your Process
The ARclad® portfolio includes a full range of splicing tapes that support continuous manufacturing processes. From repulpable solutions used in paper and pulp production to flatback and non-repulpable constructions designed for film, foil, and specialty materials, our adhesives deliver reliable performance and processing efficiency.
Whether you require clean release, high tack, or extreme temperature resistance, ARclad® splicing tapes can be tailored to meet your operational needs and performance targets.
