Foam Tape Slitting

High-yield, low-scrap tape slitting of roll goods on 3" cores. With tolerances as low as +/- .015" and slit width capabilities to .093", PLI offers a complete range of slitting capabilities.

PLI offers "slit to width" capabilities for customers seeking custom width rolls of pressure sensitive adhesive tapes. We can convert your adhesive tape into rolls that meet your customized requirements.

PLI has can slit rolls to custom width. Material may be razor cut, crush cut, or baloney slit. In the baloney slitting process, the blade may or may not be rotating, depending on the material to be cut. Also, the blade may require a water-cooling substance during the slitting process to reduce heat.

Razor cut slitting is a process that uses single blades. Material is pulled through the stationary blades, making precise cuts.
Crush cut or score slitting is a process whereby circular knives are pressed against a steel cylinder or mandrel with material being pulled through, between the knives and the mandrel. Score cutting is more appropriate for materials of uneven thickness while razor slitting is best suited for films and thinner materials with consistent thickness.

The logs of tape may vary in length, so you are able to design the most appropriate length and width for your application needs. Rolls of tape may be slit to as narrow as 1/8" inch width, up to 60" width. Tolerances are typically 1/32" but may vary depending on the material being slit.
