tesa® 60408 Bio-based paper packaging tape

tesa® 60408 is a paper-based packaging tape featuring a premium paper backing and a well-performing waterborne natural rubber adhesive. The paper backing of tesa® 60408 is made with paper from well-managed forests and other controlled sources. This premium paper backing is tear-resistant with a high tensile strength. Thanks to the silicone-free release coat, a very good pintability with all types of ink systems is secured (externally tested). The well-performing natural rubber adhesive system provides strong adhesion and a good initial tack on a wide variety of carton qualities. tesa® 60408 is the perfect solution for light- and medium-weight packaging applications (max. 20 kg) where a premium performance is required. \n
