Transparent tesa double-sided tape for visible bonds

They differ in thickness, release liner and adhesive coat, among other features. Transparent tesa 4965 Original Next Gen has a PET carrier and a modified acrylic adhesive. Within Team 4965, tesa 59650 Thin is a thinner PET option and tesa 59651 Thick is a thicker one. This changes the bond line and may change how the edge looks. The right option for your component also depends on both surfaces, the required adhesion and the joining sequence. Check the specific product data on each item before selecting a tape.

Transparent adhesive does not make the entire bond optically disappear. Tape thickness, the cut edge, component geometry and viewing direction affect how clearly an edge can be seen. On a visible component, assess the bond line and the exposed edge separately. Tell Krückemeyer GmbH which areas are visible and what contour you need so the tape construction and cut format can be assessed for that geometry. A sample on the actual component shows the optical result more clearly than the colour stated in the product listing.

Plan the joining sequence and even application for the actual surface. Trapped air can be an optical defect in a visible bond; transparent tape colour does not prevent it. Check how the release liner will be removed, which side of the components will be joined first and whether the geometry permits controlled application. For converted parts, shape and handling matter as much as the adhesive choice. Describe your assembly sequence in the enquiry so that the format can be assessed against it.

Provide both components and their surfaces, the visible area and edge, and the shape required for the bond. Add the load, service environment and application method. For a cut length or die-cut part, geometry and supply format are also relevant. Krückemeyer GmbH can convert suitable adhesive tapes; whether a specific transparent tesa tape meets the needs of your component and its appearance must be checked against those details. The product listing provides a starting point for the available options.
