tesa® 51037

Hand-tearable PET cloth tape for high abrasion protection of automotive harnesses

Product description

tesa® 51037 is a hand-tearable PET cloth tape with a solvent-free advanced acrylic adhesive (triple A®). It is one of the first tapes on the market providing hand-tearability and high abrasion resistance of automotive harnesses. With the new adhesive formula, tesa® 51037 is highly resistant to flagging and ensures secure closure.
It withstands high temperatures and demanding environmental conditions. Its acrylic adhesive is compatible with halogen-free cable jacketing materials (PE/PP) and guarantees enhanced durability. tesa® 51037 has been developed for highly efficient manual application without any cutting device.
Main features:
  • High abrasion resistance
