tesa mounting tape: double-sided tapes

Start with both parts, their surfaces and the area available for bonding. Explain how the joint will be loaded: tensile, shear and possible peel forces create different demands. Conditions during application and later service also matter. tesa mounting tapes use different backings and adhesives, so the brand name alone cannot establish suitability. With these details, we can assess the tape construction and a suitable supply format for your mounting task.

A suitable PE foam backing can accommodate slight irregularities between parts and help the adhesive make contact. This differs from a flat bond made with a thin PET film tape. Foam tapes still vary in construction and adhesive. The required area, load and surfaces must therefore be checked for the specific tesa mounting tape. A foam backing does not replace assessment of the complete bond under its intended service conditions.

Load direction tells you what forces the bond must withstand in service. A joint loaded across its area and one subjected to peeling at an edge present different tasks. Product selection must therefore consider area, part geometry and load together. The manufacturer specifies properties such as initial tack and shear strength for individual tesa mounting tapes, but these properties alone do not establish fitness for every assembly. Tell us the installation position and load case so we can narrow down a suitable version.

Krückemeyer GmbH can slit suitable tapes and process them into die-cut parts. This can adapt the bonding area to the part shape and make handling fit the assembly process. The appropriate format depends on the chosen material, geometry and required supply form. Tell us about both parts, the planned bonding area and your application step. We can then assess whether slit tape or die-cut parts are suitable for your tesa mounting tape application.
