Sustainable materials company bioaqualife announced its new biodegradable shrink wrap tape specially engineered for marine and other industries. The marine industry’s first biodegradable shrink wrap tape, the biotape delivers the performance of traditional marine grade shrink wrap tapes while offering a sustainable alternative that helps protect the planet.
Designed for taping and sealing seams in all shrink wrap applications, bioaqualife’s biodegradable Shrink Wrap Tape underwent rigorous testing, and out-performed even in 10℉ conditions. Key features include strong adhesion and quick stick for reliable bonds even in wet conditions, flexible backing to conform well over curves, rivets, and complex surfaces, resistance to heat exposure during shrink wrapping, biodegradability in a landfill, and it’s safe for aquatic animals and marine environment!
“We engineered this tape from the ground up to meet the demanding requirements of marine as well as all possible shrink wrap applications while upholding our commitment to biodegradability,” says Carsten Petersen, general manager of bioaqualife. “It can withstand sun, salt, and weathering but will break down naturally when disposed of correctly in a landfill – reducing waste and preventing microplastics from entering ecosystems.”
“bioaqualife’s biodegradable tape allows us to be proactive in preserving the waters our boats sail in and the landfills when the product is finished its use.” bioaqualife Marine Biodegradable Shrink Wrap Tape is offered in 3-inch cores in white and transparent color options, and is available for order at bioaqualife.com.
