Installation Guide
1. Surface Preparation
- Ensure bonding surfaces are clean, dry and free from dust, oil and contaminants.
- Remove loose particles and release agents.
- Check whether the substrate requires special treatment.
2. Tape Application
- Cut the tape to the required size.
- Apply the tape evenly to the first substrate.
- Avoid wrinkles, air pockets and contamination.
- Remove the liner carefully.
- Align and apply the second substrate.
3. Pressure Application
- Apply uniform pressure across the bonding area.
- Ensure sufficient adhesive contact.
- Avoid excessive tension during application.
4. Performance Evaluation
- Allow suitable dwell time before applying significant loads.
- Evaluate peel adhesion and shear resistance.
- Conduct application-specific testing before mass production.
Storage
- Store the tape in its original packaging.
- Keep it in a clean and dry environment.
- Protect it from direct sunlight and contamination.
- Avoid excessive heat and humidity.
- Follow the latest applicable tesa storage recommendations.
Shelf life and detailed storage conditions should be confirmed with the relevant product documentation.
