Tapes launch puts<br />
strength at a premium<br />
Resisting breakage or tearing<br />
under tensile stress is one of the<br />
most important properties of<br />
materials used in fixing, securing<br />
and sealing goods in applications<br />
such as palletising, bundling, end<br />
tabbing, transport securing and<br />
carton sealing. The launch of a<br />
premium tape by tesa has been<br />
designed to enhance the levels of<br />
tensile strength and abrasion<br />
resistance currently on offer. This<br />
high strength filament tape also<br />
offers improved tear resistance<br />
and better adhesion properties<br />
than its existing filament tapes.<br />
Premium filament tapes are<br />
claimed to provide an essential<br />
tool where safety matters. With<br />

an impressive elongation at break<br />
of 15% they also offer extremely<br />
high tensile strengths. All tapes in<br />
the filament range offer good tear<br />
resistance and are the strongest<br />
ever to be produced by the company.<br />
Even if damaged on one<br />
side, the backing will not break<br />
and objects held by the tape will<br />
remain tight and intact.<br />
The general purpose tapes,<br />
tesa 4591 and tesa 4590,<br />
launched earlier in the year, are<br />
suitable for use in room conditions<br />
