Double-sided tape range adds low temperature capability to manufacturing processes

Tesa’s ACXplus range has extended the low temperature capability of its highest-performing product group with the introduction of Tesa ACXplus 709x LSE Performer tapes, available in four thicknesses.

The viscoelastic technology on which the range is based, characterised by its delivery of high bonding power between dissimilar materials, with the ability for stress dissipation and good performance even in unhelpful conditions, has been extended into a range of applications where an initial bond is achievable down to zero. No adhesion promoters are needed to achieve a lasting bond when working with LSE substrates and other hard-to-bond plastics.

For manufacturers and converters, the Tesa ACXplus 709x LSE Performer range delivers the time, cost, performance and aesthetic benefits of double-sided tape bonding in new areas of activity, including cold production environments across day/night working shifts and where unheated premises are impossible to avoid. The performance of the range is further enhanced by the use of an innovative functional adhesive layer.

As a secondary benefit the tapes help to promote a healthier production environment, offering a cleaner, simpler solution without the need for highly skilled operators or specialist training. They also eliminate the need for any adhesion promoter on most applications.

Typical applications for the Tesa ACXplus 709x LSE Performer double-sided foamed acrylic tape include mounting of reinforcement bars, for example in lifts; hard to bond plastics such as PE and PP; signage and point-of-sale; electrical cabinets and decorative plastics.
