Description
[Neschen AG] A registered trademark for a series of transparent adhesive tapes. The Filmoplast tapes use either clear tissue or white paper carriers and a pH-neutral to alkaline, non-yellowing, water-based acrylic dispersion adhesive (Arenstein et al. 2019).
- Filmoplast P: tissue carrier acid-free mending tape
- Filmoplast P1: translucent paper carrier
- Filmoplast P90: paper carrier with gummed adhesive that is a water activated acrylic dispersion
- Filmoplast R: Japanese mulberry paper carrier buffered with magnesium carbonate. It has an acrylic adhesive.
Applications
- Invisible dry mending of paper documents
- Acid-free mending tape for reparing joints or damaged edges
