Installation Guide
1. Prepare the Surface
Ensure that the bonding surfaces are clean, dry, and free from dust, oil, grease, and other contaminants.
2. Check Material Compatibility
Test the tape on the actual substrates, especially when bonding PE, PVC, foam, felt, or plastic molded parts.
3. Apply the Tape
Apply the tape evenly without stretching. Avoid wrinkles, air bubbles, or contamination of the adhesive surface.
4. Apply Firm Pressure
Use consistent pressure to improve adhesive contact and wetting. A roller or suitable pressing tool may be used.
5. Allow Sufficient Bond Development
Adhesion generally increases over time. The required dwell time depends on the substrate, temperature, pressure, and application conditions.
6. Validate Before Mass Production
Conduct peel, shear, temperature, humidity, and ageing tests where necessary before production use.
Storage
- Store in the original packaging.
- Keep the tape in a clean and dry environment.
- Protect it from direct sunlight and excessive heat.
- Avoid high humidity and contamination.
- Store under controlled conditions according to the latest tesa technical documentation.
- Check product condition before use, particularly after extended storage.
