Installation Guide
1. Prepare the Surface
Ensure the bonding surfaces are clean, dry and free from dust, oil, grease and other contaminants.
2. Check Material Compatibility
Confirm the substrate type, surface energy and surface condition. Special attention is required when bonding PE, PP or other low-surface-energy plastics.
3. Apply the Tape
Apply the tape evenly without stretching the non-woven backing. Avoid trapping air bubbles or creating wrinkles.
4. Apply Firm Pressure
Use consistent pressure to improve adhesive contact with the bonding surface.
5. Allow Sufficient Bond Development
Allow adequate time for the adhesive to develop its bonding strength according to the application requirements.
6. Perform Application Testing
Test the tape under actual conditions, including load, temperature, humidity, vibration and aging requirements.
Storage
- Store in the original packaging.
- Keep the product in a clean and dry environment.
- Protect it from direct sunlight and excessive heat.
- Avoid high humidity and contamination.
- Follow the latest tesa storage recommendations and shelf-life requirements.
FAQ
