Double Sided Repulpable Light Blue Tissue Tape for High Speed Flying Splices
Instantly identifiable on the machine floor. Built for very high speed. Proven across every stage of the splice.
In a newspaper or paper processing mill running offline coating lines at very high speed, every detail of the splicing tape specification matters — and so does the speed with which the operator can locate the tape, verify the application, and confirm that the splice is correctly positioned before the new reel comes up to speed. The light blue colour of this tape is not an aesthetic choice. It's a visibility and process management decision: a splice tape that stands out clearly against the paper reel, the machine guarding, and the surrounding equipment is a splice that gets applied correctly and identified quickly at every stage of the process.Pioneer Tapes manufactures and supplies double sided repulpable light blue tissue tape specifically rated for very high speed flying splice applications on offline coating plants, and recommended for newspaper and paper processing industry splicing on medium and heavy weight papers. Built on a light blue tissue paper carrier coated on both sides with synthetic resins and water-soluble adhesive, this tape holds the splice securely under high web tension, tears easily and cleanly in the splice area, and disperses fully into the pulp stream downstream — zero contamination, zero manual removal required.
As a Pune-based paper industry tape manufacturer with pan-India supply capability, we help paper mills and processing plants specify the right repulpable tape grade for their machine type, paper weight, and running speed. Today, we're proud to support a wide range of multinational companies with our solutions.
What is Double Sided Repulpable Light Blue Tissue Tape?
The light blue colour is a standard industry identification convention for paper mill splicing tapes, and it carries real operational value on a busy mill floor or coating line: the blue tape is immediately distinguishable from the white or natural paper reel it's applied to, making splice verification, alignment checks, and quality inspection faster and less error-prone than working with a clear or natural-coloured tape. In automatic splicing systems where the splice is completed without a human operator physically confirming the placement, the tape's visibility to line cameras and sensors can also support automated verification.
Pioneer Tapes supplies this tape in grades suited to high speed flying splice and automatic core splicing requirements:
- Very High Speed Flying Splice Grade: Specifically rated for flying splice applications on offline coating plants running at very high machine speeds — where the tack, bond strength, and tear characteristics of the tape must all perform flawlessly within the narrow time and tension window of the splice event itself.
- Medium & Heavy Weight Paper Grades: Recommended for newspaper and paper processing industry splicing applications on medium and heavy weight papers, where the tape's bond strength under high web tension is the primary performance requirement.
Key Features
- Rated for Very High Speed Flying Splices: This tape is specifically formulated and rated for very high speed flying splice applications on offline coating plants — the most demanding end of the paper mill splicing performance spectrum, where the splice must be completed and hold under maximum web tension before the machine can continue at full production speed.
- Light Blue Colour for Instant Visual Identification: The distinctive light blue colour makes the tape immediately identifiable against the paper reel and the machine environment, speeding up splice preparation, application verification, and quality inspection — and supporting automated line camera detection in mills running automatic splicing systems.
- Reliable Automatic Splices at High Speed: Engineered for reliable performance in automatic splicing systems, where the tape must deliver consistent tack, bond strength, and positioning hold without operator intervention during the splice event.
- Splices Hold Under High Web Tensions: The synthetic resin coating and water-soluble adhesive system are formulated specifically to resist slip under the high web tensions present on coating lines and newsprint machines — the splice does not creep, lift, or fail even as the new reel is brought up to full running speed.
- Easy & Fast Tearing of Excess Paper at Splice Areas: The tissue carrier tears cleanly and quickly in the splice area as the splice completes — a practical performance property that speeds up the splicing process and prevents ragged or uneven tearing that can destabilise the web at the splice point.
- Best Performance at Every Stage of the Splicing Process: From initial tape application on the preparation reel through the flying splice event itself and into the subsequent processing stages, this tape delivers consistent, reliable performance — no tack loss during preparation hold time, no bond failure during the splice, no contamination downstream.
- Fully Repulpable — No Contamination of the Fibre Stream: The tissue carrier and water-soluble adhesive both break down and disperse completely during pulping or recycling, leaving no plastic fragments, adhesive residue, or fibre-incompatible material in the pulp stream. Mills using recycled fibre or operating formal sustainability programmes benefit directly from the absence of tape contamination at the repulping stage.
- Suitable for Newsprint & Paper Processing on Medium/Heavy Papers: Specifically recommended for newspaper and paper processing industry splicing applications, including medium and heavy weight paper grades that place higher demands on the tape's tensile strength and bond resistance under web tension than lighter printing papers.
Applications of Double Sided Repulpable Light Blue Tissue Tape
The primary and most demanding application for this tape is the flying splice on offline coating plants — where the machine continues running at full speed as the expiring reel is joined to a new reel, with no production stop. At very high running speeds, the splice must be completed, bonded, and held under high web tension in a fraction of a second, which is why this tape's specific very high speed rating matters. A general-purpose repulpable tape that has not been validated for these running speeds may fail to hold the splice under the combined stress of speed and tension on a high-performance coating line.
Flying Splices on Newsprint Machines
Newspaper production machines running continuous high-speed printing operations use repulpable light blue tissue tape for flying splices, where the tape's hold under high web tension and reliable automatic splice performance keep the press running without unplanned stops.
Paper Processing Industry Splicing
Paper processing facilities handling medium and heavy weight papers use this tape for splicing applications across their processing lines — including sheeting, rewinding, and converting operations where paper reel changes need to be managed as flying splices or pre-prepared automatic splices to maintain production continuity.
Automatic Core Splicing Systems
Mills and converting plants running automatic core splicing systems — where the splice preparation and completion are managed by the machine rather than a human operator — depend on the tape's consistent tack, dimensional stability, and positioning hold to ensure every automatic splice performs reliably without manual adjustment.
Web Splicing in Converting & Finishing Operations
Converting and finishing operations that process paper webs through laminating, coating, cutting, or embossing lines use this tape for web splicing to maintain continuous production, taking advantage of the tape's repulpable construction to ensure that any splice tape passing through to the finished product or downstream repulping does not create contamination.
Repulping & Recycling-Compatible Paper Processing
Mills and converters operating with recycled paper inputs or managing formal fibre recovery commitments use this tape specifically for its full repulpability — knowing that every spliced reel can enter the repulping process without the splice tape creating a contamination problem in the recovered fibre stream.
Who Uses Pioneer Repulpable Light Blue Tissue Tape?
Coating plant operators running offline coaters at very high machine speeds are the primary specified user for this grade, where the tape's very high speed flying splice rating is the key selection criterion.
Newsprint Mills & Newspaper Publishers
Newsprint producers and newspaper printing operations use repulpable light blue tissue tape as the standard flying splice material for high-speed newsprint machines, valuing its automatic splice reliability and high web tension performance.
Paper Processing & Converting Facilities
Paper processing plants handling medium and heavy weight papers use this tape across their splicing applications, specifying the light blue grade for its combination of visibility on the machine floor and proven performance on heavier paper weights.
Automatic Splicing System Operators
Mills running automatic splicing equipment — where consistent tape performance replaces manual operator judgment in the splice process — specify this grade for its reliable and repeatable performance in automated splicing systems at high running speeds.
Recycled Fibre & Sustainability-Focused Mills
Mills operating with recycled fibre inputs or formal sustainability and fibre recovery commitments use repulpable light blue tissue tape specifically to avoid introducing non-repulpable contamination into their pulp stream through the splicing process.

Frequently Asked Questions
This tape is used for flying splice applications in paper mills and paper processing operations — specifically rated for very high speed flying splices on offline coating plants, and recommended for newsprint and paper processing splicing on medium and heavy weight papers. It joins the tail end of an expiring paper reel to the lead of a new reel while the machine continues running at full speed, then disperses completely in the pulping or recycling process downstream without contaminating the recovered fibre.
Both tapes share the same core repulpable tissue construction and water-soluble adhesive system. The key differences are the light blue colour, which provides immediate visual identification on the mill floor and supports automated splice detection in automatic splicing systems; and the specific very high speed flying splice rating, which makes this tape the confirmed specification for offline coating plant applications running at the highest machine speeds. The standard repulpable tissue tape covers a broad range of flying splice and converting applications, while the light blue grade is specifically targeted at very high speed coating line operations and medium to heavy weight paper splicing.
On an active mill floor or coating line, the light blue colour makes the splice tape immediately and unmistakably visible against the white or natural paper reel surface — speeding up application verification and quality inspection steps that are part of every splice preparation protocol. When multiple tape grades or products are in use on the same line, the distinctive colour also reduces the risk of an operator reaching for the wrong tape at a critical moment. In automatic splicing systems, the light blue is also used as a visual marker that line cameras and sensors can detect for automated splice verification.
Yes — reliable performance in automatic splicing systems is one of the specifically confirmed properties of this tape. The consistent tack, synthetic resin coating, and bond strength are calibrated to perform without operator adjustment in automated splicing sequences, holding the splice firmly under high web tension as the new reel is brought up to full running speed.
Yes. Pioneer's repulpable light blue tissue tape is specifically recommended for newsprint and paper processing industry splicing applications on medium and heavy weight papers — paper grades that place higher demands on the tape's tensile strength and bond resistance under web tension than lighter printing stocks. If you're working with a particularly heavy paper grade or have specific web tension conditions, share the details with Pioneer's team and we can confirm suitability.
The repulpability is a functional technical property of this tape's construction, not a general marketing claim. The light blue tissue carrier and the water-soluble adhesive system are both formulated to disperse completely during the pulping process — meaning the tape breaks down into the fibre stream without leaving plastic fragments, adhesive blobs, or non-paper contamination behind. For mills running recycled fibre inputs or operating under formal fibre recovery and sustainability commitments, this is a substantive functional benefit that directly affects the cleanliness of the recovered fibre.
