Removable double-sided tape for temporary fixings

It means that the adhesive bond can be separated again under the conditions specified for the individual product. It does not mean that both adhesive sides release in the same way or that every substrate will be free of residue. With double-sided tape that has differently bonding sides, decide before application which side should remain on the component and which should be released later. Check the tape construction, both joined parts and the planned time of removal.

Removable describes separation of a bond later. Repositionable means that the adhesive side designed for it can be adjusted again during application. Reusable goes further: the same adhesive side can be used again after removal. That is supported only for products designed for this purpose and suitable substrates. For 3M 9415PC, the low-tack side is repositionable and may be reused depending on the smooth substrate; the opposite side bonds permanently.

Only when the particular product and application allow this under suitable conditions. For tesa 65610 Removable, the documented residue-free removal applies to the side covered by the release liner; the other side must not be treated as equivalent. Before bonding, surfaces must be dry and free of dust, oil and dirt. During removal, any remaining foam is pulled away slowly and evenly using the PET reinforcement film. Test sensitive surfaces and the actual service period on your component beforehand.

Describe both joined parts and surfaces, the required hold time, the load during use and how the bond is to be released later. For a converted format, add the roll width, length or required shape and explain your application steps. Krückemeyer GmbH can cut tapes and make die-cut parts. Whether the selected removable double-sided tape retains its intended function is assessed against the material, geometry and application.
