Product description

The paper backing of tesa® 60408 is made with paper from well-managed forests and other controlled sources. This premium paper backing is tear-resistant with a high tensile strength. Thanks to the silicone-free release coat, a very good pintability with all types of ink systems is secured (externally tested).
