Choosing the strongest removable mounting tape for your industrial application

Technologies

While some mounting tape creates stronger bonds than others, there is no single strongest removable mounting tape. Strength must always be evaluated against surface, load and removal needs. Due to this, we offer mounting solutions tailored to various applications. From heat-activated tape to sustainable adhesion, we have developed a variety of solutions tailored to meet your application needs.

What are strong removable mounting tapes?

The strongest removable mounting tapes offer high tack, strong hold, and easy removal. Holding secure under stress, load or vibration. Industrial applications can include, but are not limited to:

Signage mounting
Panel attachment
Temporary assemblies
Reworkable components

Why removable strength matters in industrial mounting

Want to keep your walls, surfaces, or components safe, no matter the adhesive strength? Removable mounting tapes offer instant adhesion and support modular product designs. This allows you to streamline your processes by eliminating the drying/curing time required with traditional glues. All while providing easy removal to prevent damage during servicing, retrofitting, or upgrades.

Removable mounting tapes can replace mechanical fasteners and glues, improving on speed and aesthetics. Easy removability enables you to focus on delivering a product or service that is more efficient and sustainable, facilitated through its residue and damage-free removal.

How to choose the strongest tape for your mounting needs

When choosing the strongest removable mounting tape, keep these five factors in mind:

Substrate compatibility: What material(s) are you using? (e.g. metal, glass, plastics, painted surfaces).
Holding strength vs ease of removal: What is your priority?
Environmental resistance: Does your application have temperature requirements? (UV, humidity).
Application duration: How long do you need your mounting application to last? (temporary vs. semi-permanent).
Type of removal: What is the most suitable debonding process? (Electrical, laser, stretching or heat).

Debonding strong mounting tape

The strongest removable mounting tape will inevitably be harder to remove. However, this doesn’t mean removal has to be difficult or messy. Rather than pulling the tape to detach it, electricity, laser, stretching, or heat may be required to debond on demand. Debonding technology provides strong adhesion while allowing easy, residue-free removal, ensuring a clean and controlled release whenever needed.

Our removable mounting solutions

The award for the strongest removable mounting tape depends on your specific application. We offer a range of products designed to meet all your mounting needs.

Bond&Detach® Technology

In 2014, we launched our award-winning Bond&Detach® technology. A new standard for residue-free tape removal, revolutionizing industrial mounting capabilities. One example of our Bond & Detach® range is tesa® 76565 Bond&Detach tape. Engineered for high temperature, humidity, and UV resistance. Industries including automotive and appliances use tesa® 76565 for display mounting, ADAS component bonding, and EV system assemblies.

Our Bond & Detach® solutions are additionally used across the electronics industry, bonding components where potential deconstruction is critical, like batteries or displays. They allow quick, efficient repairs to parts such as batteries, ensuring clean removal without adhesive residue. This is crucial in electronic applications with sensitive surfaces, as it eliminates the risk of contamination from adhesive residue.

Double-sided foam tape

Our double-sided foam tapes, such as tesa® 65605, provide strong, temporary, residue-free bonding. The foam core cushions and protects against impact, making the tape ideal for uneven surfaces or areas with movement or vibration. Many of our double-sided foam tapes are compatible with a variety of substrates. These include glass, metal, plastics, painted surfaces, and wood. Their adaptability makes double-sided foam tapes a versatile and reliable mounting adhesive, easy to integrate into a wide range of applications.

A more specific example of strong foam mounting tapes is tesa® Softprint. A product designed for the printing industry which prevents hard demounting and plate damage, and ensures plates are easy and clean to remove when repaired or replaced.

Filmic tape

Our Filmic tapes are thin, stable and ideal for bonding to glass, metal, and plastic. Our Filmic tape range is suitable for short-term bonding. Best suited to secure but non-permanent applications.

tesa® 68560 filmic tape is designed for removable mounting of FPC and temporary mounting before mechanical adhesion. Its strong bond delivers excellent resistance in demanding environments. This includes high-performance on various substrates, including PC, ABS, PI and Metal.

Temporary mountain aids

We offer a range of temporary mounting aids. Used in production, installation, and clean removal. Suitable for surface-sensitive materials such as wallpaper, varnished wood or freshly painted surfaces.

Our duct tapes ensure temporary, light to medium-weight bonding strength. All without the difficulty of removal or leaving residue.

tesa® 4621 Multipurpose Outdoor Cloth Tape

tesa® 4621 tape is waterproof and weather-resistant for up to 8 weeks. Able to offer high initial adhesion while being easy to reposition and remove.

tesa-04615-general-purpose-duct-tape-black-046150000100-pr

tesa® 4615 general purpose duct tape provides instant bonds with high adhesion. Easily hand-torn, water-repellent, and durable while maintaining removability.

The future of removable mounting tapes: Debonding on Demand

As part of our constant product innovation, we’ve developed various Debonding on Demand technologies. Once activated, the bonds are extremely strong, yet easy to remove under the right conditions, leaving no residue behind upon removal. These technologies support design for deconstruction, high-value component reuse, and sustainable product architecture.

Building on our debonding on demand technology success, we're excited to go further. Our developers aim to add these debonding mechanisms to over 7,000 products. Part of our long-term sustainability roadmap to produce mounting solutions that make the removal process even easier. Through our advanced technology, we are redefining the possibilities of the strongest removable mounting tape.
