tesa® 60400 – Bio & Strong
Product Features
- Official certification from DIN-CERTCO and TÜV AUSTRIA (highest possible rating from both institutes)
- Solvent-free production process
- Strong adhesion
Product description
tesa® 60400 is a bio-based packaging tape in the industry suitable for medium-weight packaging applications (15 - 30 kg). The backing material chosen for this tape is polylactide acid, also known as PLA. PLA is 100% made from renewable feedstocks such as corn starch, tapioca roots, or sugarcane. The system adhesive used for this tape is a natural rubber with a natural-based resin. Thanks to the smart choice of raw materials and its outstanding design, tesa® 60400 is produced with a bio-carbon content of 98% and, consequently, a reduced carbon footprint.
