tesa® 4985
Tacky transfer tape
Product description
tesa® 4985 is a transparent transfer tape using a modified acrylic adhesive. It offers good immediate hold to uneven surfaces and is very tacky. The transfer tape is extremely thin and flexible and thus very conformable. The acrylic adhesive features high resistance to UV light and humidity as well as a good resistance against chemicals and softeners. tesa® 4985 can withstand temperatures of up to 200°C for short periods of time and has a long-term resistance against temperatures of up to 80°C. The tape is highly cost-efficient and can be used for a range of different mounting and splicing applications.
