FAQ
1. What is tesa 4960?
Tesa 4960 is a 100 μm double-sided non-woven adhesive tape with an acrylic adhesive system and a brown glassine liner.
2. Is tesa 4960 suitable for foam lamination?
It can be evaluated for foam lamination and other material bonding applications. Foam type, surface structure and bonding requirements should be tested before production.
3. Can tesa 4960 be used for paper splicing?
Yes. The official product information lists paper, cardboard, film and other material splicing applications, including corrugated board production.
4. Is tesa 4960 a high-temperature tape?
It has an adhesive formulation designed for ageing and temperature resistance. However, it should not be marketed as a high-temperature tape without confirming the required temperature performance in the current TDS.
5. Can tesa 4960 be die-cut?
Yes, double-sided non-woven tape constructions can generally be considered for slitting, laminating and die-cutting. Actual processing performance depends on the tape, liner, shape and production requirements.
6. Can Yousan provide a tesa 4960 equivalent?
Yousan can review suitable adhesive tape constructions based on the required thickness, adhesive performance, substrate, application and converting requirements. Equivalence must be confirmed through technical comparison and application testing.
7. Is tesa 4960 suitable for plastic bonding?
It may be suitable for selected plastic substrates. Adhesion testing is recommended, especially for PP, PE, TPO and other low-surface-energy plastics.
8. What is the thickness of tesa 4960?
The official product page specifies a total thickness of 100 μm.
