IPG® (Intertape Polymer Group®), a leading manufacturer of packaging and protective solutions, has recently introduced the new 170e water based acrylic pressure-sensitive carton sealing tape, designed with 30% recycled film to offer a more sustainable alternative to the industry.
This tape is a significant step in reducing the consumption of new virgin raw materials, thereby providing an overall lower carbon footprint. 170e maintains the performance characteristics and reliability of IPG®’s existing carton closure product line. The company states its superior tack, UV resistance and broad application temperature performance mirror those of its non-recycled content counterparts and is ideal for both manual and automated applications.
170e is one of several new product launches that support and contribute to IPG®’s sustainability and circularity goals. “Sustainability is a core value at IPG®, and this new carton closure product demonstrates our dedication to develop innovative solutions that help our customers go green without spending additional green,” said Kelsey Redmon, product manager at IPG®.
