  20. 4. The new tesa coating technology - less solvents, less energy

  21. The classic coating process Classic coating of rubber-based adhesives based on solvent technology: Disadvantages:  despite all precautions solvent handling and transportation is an environmental risk  whole process needs much energy:–evaporation of solvents/ drying of coated material – recovering and cleaning of solvents

  22. The new tesa coating technology An old renewable raw material for tape production has become fit for the future by the tesa NRE technology (Natural Rubber Extrusion) From raw materials to adhesive tape without use of solvents This development was sponsored by the German Federal Ministry for Environment

  23. = Target Significant Reduction of Solvent Input Three years after introducing the new technology, the use of solvent at German production sites has been reduced by 36 % !

  24. = Target Significant Reduction of Energy Input Energy consumption reduced in German production sites by 19 % (with reduced use of solvents) !

  25. Conclusion  Important part of tesa production was switched to a very environmentally friendly process – without cost increases  products continue to be very successful in the marketplace the second production site in Germany is on the way to becoming solvent free
