Quest Plastics introduces degradable barricade tapes

Nov. 9, 2010 – Quest Plastics Limited of Mississauga, Ont., has announced the introduction of a new line of Canadian-made, environmentally friendly and competitively priced Barricade Tapes.

The company's Better Barriers Barricade Tapes are manufactured in its facility in London, Ont. The company says the new tapes designed to deliver value and performance, but most importantly, the tapes are an environmentally responsible alternative to traditional poly barricade tapes.

All of Quest Plastics “above-ground” tapes (Caution, Danger, Do Not Enter, etc.) contain the additive Reverte, which allows for complete degradation of the tape in regular landfill conditions. Reverte initially catalyzes the oxodegradation of the polymer chains and then promotes the growth of microbial colonies to expedite the second biodegradation stage. The tapes can even be composted.
  
In addition to the new Degradable Barricade Tapes, Quest Plastics also produces buried line tapes for underground demarcation. Customized tapes are also available.
