The increasing usage of calcium carbonate (CaCo3) as a filler or coating pigment in paper production generally proves a considerable challenge for repulpable adhesive tapes.

Calcium ions dissolve and migrate into the adhesive over time. As a resulting in the adhesive hardening causing a weaker bond and an increase in mill splices breaking at the printer or paper converter

Our tesa CaRes® tapes overcome this by offering fully repulpable calcium-resistant, and permanent adhesive. They keep their well balanced properties until the paper reel is processed by your customer.

Benefits of tesa CaRes®

  •  Reliable permanent splices on CaCO3-coated paper
  •  No compromises on repulpability
  •  Well-balanced adhesive properties
