Abstract: A splice tape is provided. The splice tape includes two internal support layers bonded at interface between opposing inner surfaces of the internal support layers. The support layers are formed utilizing a process and/or materials that ensure that the two internal support layers separate cleanly and consistently along the interface of the two internal support layers.

Abstract: A splicing tape for making a running splice is disclosed. A running splice is needed for web-fed type continuous processes involving rolls of material. Materials are typically paper or thermoplastic rolls to be printed or coated. The layered splicing tape includes three central layers or films with a controlled breaking force that allows better control over the force required to separate the central layers and allow a replacement roll to be fed into the web on the tail of the roll that has almost been consumed. Pressure-sensitive or other adhesives adhere the splice to the roll and the cohesive failure of the splice then enables the splice to be made without stopping the process.
