The company is thus expanding its product portfolio of high-performance packaging tapes which are partly made from recycled materials and bio-based raw materials. For many industries such as the food & beverage industry, the pharmaceutical industry or the logistics sector, tesa 60412 is said to be an ideal alternative to conventional polyvinyl chloride packaging tapes.
With its elevated tear resistance, tesa 60412 is comparable to PVC or biaxially oriented polypropylene (BOPP) tapes. tesa 60412 is suitable for both manual and automatic dispensers and is largely silent in use. It can be used for light and medium-weight packaging up to 30kg. The packaging tape is certified according to INGEDE Method 12 and can be disposed together with the packaging in the wastepaper without compromising the cardboard recycling process.
For most companies and industries, the topic of sustainability has long been of great importance. When packing or sending goods and products, it is important to be as sustainable as possible. tesa would like to support its customers and partners in this endeavor. With tesa 60412, the company has developed an adhesive tape that meets these requirements. The production process is completely solvent-free. Used PET products, including bottles, are recycled and utilised as raw material for the backing.
"The development of products that help promote sustainability is a strategically important goal for tesa. Our new tesa 60412 PET packaging tape was therefore developed in a way that reduces environmental pollution as much as possible and at the same time guarantees high performance," says Andreas Walkembach, Head of Industrial Trade & Converting Europe at tesa.
The new tesa 60412 is now available from professional retailers in transparent or, on request, in brown and white versions.
