Essentra Specialty Tapes Announces New Manufacturing Process

Essentra Specialty Tapes (formerly Duraco Inc. and Duraco Express) has announced the installation of a new high speed 60” hot melt coater for manufacturing Finger Lift Tapes in their Forest Park, IL facility. The new hot melt process complements their current solvent-based capabilities to enhance the selection and availability of a variety of Finger Lift Tape products. The addition of the new state-of-the-art hot melt adhesive coating line allows Essentra Specialty Tapes to provide the specific service and quality needed to meet the fast-paced demands of the P.O.P, paper/printing and packaging industry. As a result, they now offer over 100 standard sizes of Finger Lift Tapes in stock. These products are available to ship the same day, and also allow for custom solutions requiring a quick-turnaround time. High-speed converting equipment can be used to create the optimum configuration for automatic application of a customer’s tape, including spooling. Finger-lift tapes are designed with a dry edge on both sides of the liner, making its removal fast and easy. Finger-lift tapes include Transfer, Tissue, Film and Bag Sealing Tapes.
