Press Release Summary = New Functional Splicing Tapes from Dielectric Polymers
improve efficiency for label converters and coaters of PSAs.

Press Release Body = Holyoke, MA - December 2006 – Converters of roll label stock
and substrates to be coated with pressure sensitive adhesive have long faced issues
related to material loss, registration and waste disposal. Two new functional
splicing tapes from Dielectric Polymers solve these problems to help improve
processing efficiency.

NT-5511-2SW & 5512-2SW are self-wound tapes for quick and easy splicing of
siliconized webs. The polyester film backing is coated with high temperature yellow
silicone adhesive on the unwind side and an easy release silicone coating on the
backside. This specialized release coating allows adhesive release at the splice
area which eliminates label loss, a critical factor in sequential label and
automatically applied label applications. Additionally, the easy release coating
provides easy removal of the matrix, maintains registration through the splice and
makes these tapes ideal for covering in-process rolls that come in contact with
pressure sensitive adhesive.

DPI’s functional splicing tapes create splices that do not need to be cut out of the
web, reducing material loss in lost labels and pressure sensitive substrate at the
splice area. These one and two mil film tapes have no release liner, reducing the
time needed to make a splice and the quantity of material for disposal. Constructed
with aggressive adhesive that “grabs” quickly and a high tensile film backing that
resists breaks, these tapes assure strong splices every time.
