A high-performance adhesive tape does one thing: it sticks firmly. But even this is no match for NEPATA’s slitting solutions, as demonstrated by the test with Orafol’s Orabond 1397. In the NEPATA test studio, we produced strips between 5 and 12 mm wide from a whole roll of Orabond 1397PP. We used the UA1650 ADWS precision converting centre. Our conclusion: it cuts well, but sticks like mad! It’s good to have the NEPATA lubrication system, which precisely applies silicone oil to the blade and keeps it constantly clean. Another advantage: we have the right blade for every application and every material. In this case, with the thicker layer of adhesive, a smaller, single-sided bevelled slitting blade measuring 2.0 mm x 240 mm served us well.
