We deliver high-performance adhesive solutions that protect, secure, and enable critical operations across defense and security industries. From durable identification and advanced sealing to EMI shielding and maintenance solutions, our technologies ensure that critical systems perform reliably – even in the most demanding environments.

Across land, air, and naval applications, we combine proven performance with strict compliance requirements to support safe, efficient, and future-ready operations.

Engineered for mission-critical requirements

Defense applications demand more than performance – they require trust, consistency, and long-term reliability.

  • High supply reliability to secure continuous operations
  • Long product lifecycle availability for extended program durations
  • Consistent quality and global support across regions
  • Compliance-driven material selection for safety-critical applications

tesa® solutions already meet key international requirements such as fire behavior, low smoke and toxicity, and material safety standards.
