Installation Guide
1. Surface Preparation
Clean the bonding surfaces and remove dust, oil, grease, and other contaminants.
2. Compatibility Testing
Test the tape on the actual foam, felt, plastic, or metal substrates before mass production.
3. Tape Application
Apply the tape evenly without stretching. Avoid wrinkles, contamination, and trapped air.
4. Apply Pressure
Use uniform pressure with a roller or suitable pressing tool to improve adhesive contact.
5. Allow Bond Development
Allow sufficient time for adhesion to develop. The required time depends on the substrate, temperature, pressure, and application environment.
6. Production Validation
For demanding applications, conduct peel, shear, temperature, humidity, and ageing tests.
Storage
- Store in the original packaging.
- Keep in a clean and dry environment.
- Protect from direct sunlight and excessive heat.
- Avoid dust, moisture, and contamination.
- Follow the latest tesa storage recommendations.
- Inspect the tape before use after extended storage.
FAQ
