The new adhesive tape consists of a backing made from 70 per cent recycled (PCR) PET and a water-based acrylic adhesive system. tesa is thus expanding its product portfolio of high-performance packaging tapes that are made from recycled materials and bio-based raw materials.

Adhesive tape is particularly quiet

With its high tear resistance, tesa 60412 is equivalent to PVC or biaxially orientated polypropylene (BOPP) tapes. The tape is suitable for both manual and automatic dispensers and is as quiet as possible during use. The packaging tape is certified according to INGEDE method 12 and can be disposed of together with the packaging in waste paper without jeopardising the cardboard recycling process.
