Compatible Materials
Based on published adhesion data, tesa 63615 has been evaluated on:
- ABS
- Aluminum
- Polycarbonate (PC)
- Polyethylene (PE)
- PET
- Polypropylene (PP)
- Polystyrene (PS)
- PVC
- Steel
It can be considered for mounting applications involving plastic parts, metal components, profiles, trims, and mixed-material assemblies.
Important: Published adhesion to PP and PE is lower than that to ABS, aluminum, PC, PET, PS, PVC, and steel. Application-specific testing is recommended, especially for low-surface-energy plastics.

Installation Guide
- Clean the surfaces
Remove dust, oil, grease, moisture, and other contaminants. - Check substrate compatibility
Confirm the tape is suitable for the specific materials and surface conditions. - Prepare the required dimensions
Slit or die-cut the tape according to the component design. - Apply the tape
Remove the first liner and apply the tape evenly to the first substrate. - Apply firm pressure
Press over the complete bonding area to maximize adhesive contact. - Remove the remaining liner
Avoid touching or contaminating the exposed adhesive. - Position the second component
Align carefully before contact, especially where repositioning is difficult. - Apply final pressure
Press the assembly uniformly to ensure full contact between the adhesive and substrates. - Allow the bond to develop
Avoid excessive loading immediately after assembly and validate the finished application under actual service conditions.
Storage
- Store in the original packaging.
- Keep in a clean and dry environment.
- Protect from direct sunlight and excessive heat.
- Avoid unnecessary exposure to moisture and dust.
- Keep adhesive surfaces protected until use.
- Store rolls in a stable position to prevent deformation.
- Follow the latest applicable tesa storage recommendations for the supplied product version.
FAQ
