Product Focus: With thousands of products in the tesa portfolio, you re sure to find the right product for your application! Tapes for Bonding and Mounting Applications When the application calls for high-performance bonding or mounting, tesa tapes answer the call with six categories of products to fit the application need. n Acrylic Core Tapes The strongest adhesive tape class on the market. Provide optimal wetting characteristics and bonding power that lasts for decades. n Foam Tapes Compensate for gaps; bond different substrates; dampen unwanted noises or vibrations; harbor shock-absorbing properties. n Filmic Tapes Relatively thin, dimensionally stable, and ideal for bonding to flat, smooth surfaces such as glass, metal, and non-embossed plastics. n Transfer Tapes Transparent, extremely conformable; once in position, they cannot be repositioned. n Tissue Tapes Hand-tearable and relatively low total thickness allows conformability to slightly irregular surfaces. n Heat Activated Films When heat and pressure are applied, the tape is activated, and ultimately provides an extremely high bond. Tapes for Many Applications Many applications require the temporary use of tape products. For these cases, tesa offers a vast assortment of products designed for the most common to the most unique applications. n Masking Tapes Paint masking, fine-line masking, and light-duty bundling. Residue-free removability, even from delicate surfaces. n Surface Protection Tapes Protect surfaces from damage due to abrasions, debris, environmental elements, and more. n Repair Tapes Offer "first aid" in emergency situations. These tapes are ideal for fast and reliable repairs. n Bundling Tapes Securing palleted goods, bundling units of items, and color coding items or areas. These tapes combine easy application, good performance, and very high tensile strength. n Marking Tapes Marking items with specific identification codes or designating specific areas. n Packaging Tapes Ensure security of shipments regardless of the mode of transport.
