Adhesives Research Europe has developed a new paster tab system, which is designed to improve roll-to-roll transfers on paper machines. The UK company says that downtime can be avoided with its tabs, which use ARclad 8345 and ARclad 8395 - two types of repulpable tapes - for quick 'put downs' during transfers. The tabs hold the leading edge of the splice to prevent airlift and wrinkles. The paster tab tapes have been designed using an oval die-cut process, which is said to improve consistency and reliability. Fax: +44 1371 878 186 or mail to:lwoods@mail.adhesivesresearch.com

A new line of holographic metallized papers that are said to look exactly like plastic laminates has been put together by Metallized Products. The company claims that its papers are easier to process, as well as being environmentally friendlier than laminates. They can be used in gift-wrap, packaging and labeling applications. The new papers feature brilliant patterns, including rainbows, dots, crystals and other styles. The US supplier says that the papers provide better lay-flat ARclad repulpable tapes from Adhesives Research Europe properties than laminates at a more competitive price.Fax: +1 781 729 9093, mail to:sales@webmpi.com or visit:www.webmpi.com
