tesa, is launching another innovative packaging tape, the new tesa® 60408 includes a paper backing and a natural rubber adhesive, with a 100% bio-based resin. With a total bio-based carbon content of 92%, the tape has been awarded with the highest biocarbon content rating from DIN CERTCO.
For many industries, including food and beverage, pharmaceutical manufacturing, or the logistics, warehousing, and supply chain sectors, tesa® 60408 offers an alternative to conventional packaging tapes. The tape is ideal for light and medium weight packaging up to 20kg.
tesa® 60408 has a high tensile strength and is tear-resistant, offering security for packaged products in the supply chain. tesa states it is ideal for showcasing branding and is proven to have good printability with several types of ink systems. The tape is suitable for both manual and automatic dispensers and is largely silent in use. It is also recycling-friendly and is certified according to INGEDE Method 12, which means it can be easily disposed of together with the packaging in everyday paper and card recycling, without compromising the recycling process. Furthermore, the production process is completely solvent-free.
