Our tesa® tapes can last forever, but with the development of Debonding on Demand technolgies, they can also be removed at any time.
Our Debonding on Demand technology simplifies recycling and repair by enabling adhesive removal without surface damage. It extends product lifecycles, reduces waste, and supports a circular economy.
Debonding on demand technologies hold great potential for a wide range of applications - from car displays to batteries for Electric Vehicles (EV) and beyond. Making it possible to rework parts during production helps save resources and cut waste because errors can be corrected instead of scrapping material. Repairing products extends their life cycle and eliminates the need to manufacture replacements. And enabling recycling of a broader range of products supports the transition to a circular economy, where materials stay in the economic cycle for longer and waste becomes a thing of the past.
