Acrylic foam tapes for strong bonding solutions

Acrylic foam tapes with strong performance

Bonding components or substrates can be very challenging. Our acrylic foam tape assortment has been developed over the years to meet the extreme demands of industrial applications. Today, our acrylic foam tapes’ strong bonding capabilities are relied upon by manufacturers worldwide.

Acrylic foam tapes are widely used in many different industries including the automotive, building components, appliances, and electronics sectors. In manufacturing, acrylic foam tapes can replace mechanical fasteners and liquid adhesives. As there is no need to drill into material or use screws, nuts, or bolts, faster assembly time can be realized, potentially at a lower cost and without damaging the materials used. Overall, acrylic foam tapes offer greater design flexibility and, with no raised fastener heads, improved aesthetics.

Features

Key features of our acrylic foam tape series

To achieve their strong bonding performance, our acrylic foam tapes rely on our own innovative technologies and special acrylic adhesive systems. The high performance of our acrylic foam tapes is based on a special feature: viscoelasticity.

Viscoelasticity describes a material performance which is defined by both elastic and viscous characteristics. The elastic restoring forces provide inner strength while the viscous part of the material behavior leads to relaxation of mechanical stresses. tesa® ACX^plus employs a special acrylic adhesive system that combines both effects in an outstanding way.

Elastic and viscous characteristics provide the strength for a permanent bond
Constant product features over time even in outdoor conditions
Acrylic foam tapes can compensate static loads over the entire bond's duration of the product life cycle

Our acrylic foam tapes compensate for thermal elongation of different materials
Dynamic stresses are optimally dissipated for a secure bond

Together with the viscoelastic nature of acrylic foams, the tapes provide several advantages:

Durable permanent bonds

Impact resistance

Permanent sealing, e.g. against humidity, dust, or chemicals

Waterproofing

This product is a double-sided acrylic core tape with proven flame retardent characteristics. The white product is halogen-free and UL94 and FMVSS 302 compliant and recommended for indoor and outdoor applications.

06tesa® ACX^plus Multi Purpose (MP)

This is our acrylic foam tape family for converters and industrial distributos with converting equipment. The products are recommended for indoor multi-purpose applications and are available in three colors: transparent, gray & black.

Acrylic foam tapes for low thickness applications

The bonding of substrates in electronic devices can be very challenging as the components are characterized by complex geometries and design gaps often require low thickness adhesive solutions. We have you covered with our high-performance acrylic foam tapes specifically developed for the consumer electronics industry.
