Jeil Industries Co., Ltd, a global expert in manufacturing various industrial adhesive tapes in South Korea, announced today that they have launched two new adhesive tapes that are eco-friendly and recyclable under water or alkali solution.

Jeil's new adhesive tapes dissolves easily under water or alkali solution, which means that the packing materials can be recycled without removing the tapes and contribute significantly to protecting the environment.

The adhesive tapes can be applied to various materials including newspapers, regular paper packaging, medical packaging, and food packaging materials. Water-dissolving tape (model JL614) and alkali- dissolving tape (model JL615) has width of 50 mm and length up to 50 M.

Another eco-friendly adhesive tape from Jeil, KT, is non-coated paper tape using special adhesiveness to achieve 100% recyclability for box packaging. Instead of using the traditional rubber-material glues, KT paper tape uses special eco-friendly adhesiveness in the coating in order to provide excellent adhesive power in low and high temperatures.

The safe adhesiveness of KT provides great value by recycling the packaging materials and proving economic benefit as well as the environmental benefit. KT also comes with water-dissolving and alkali- dissolving types and applicable to newspaper material, paper material, medical packaging, and food packaging. Jeil has earned patent for KT based on these achievements.

Jeil also launched a new special industry purpose tapes (model 700 series) in the global market, including industrial tape for electricity wiring, silicon tape for water and heat resistant, industrial tape for paint protection, copper tape for electronic appliances.

Jeil has developed a new foil-type aluminum tape for aluminum taping and aluminum PET taping used in electronic parts and appliances such as refrigerator. With this development, Jeil also began marketing the aluminum foil tapes to the electronic appliance manufacturers around the world. The new foil-type aluminum tape has adhesion spread on its aluminum surface similar to the normal OPP tapes, which significantly reduces the volume of the aluminum tape.

Cheol Ho Kim, the CEO of Jeil Industries, said, "These eco- friendly products will be the main product for our expansion in the U.S, Europe, and South America market, starting the 1st quarter of next year. With 26 years of experience in taping, we are confident that we have built the system to provide all of our customers with variety of adhesive tape products as well as customized products according to the special demand."
