Sustainability
Natural Rubber Extrusion, also known as tesa® NRE, is a patented technology used to produce natural rubber adhesive tapes.
tesa® NRE is particularly differentiated by the fact that it thoroughly avoids the use of solvents. This applies to the entire process from raw material preparation to adhesive production and coating. In addition, tesa® NRE can save up to 55% primary energy compared to tesa solvent-based process technologies.
No drying needed: The tesa® NRE coating process requires less heating compared to solvent-based production because no drying of solvents is needed. This reduces the amount of energy required in the production process.
In addition to the bio-based material natural rubber, further recycled or bio-based material can be combined with tesa NRE to reduce the usage of virgin fossil materials.
The specific properties of tesa® NRE technology contribute towards tesa's sustainability action areas and reduce our climate impact across scopes 1, 2, and 3
