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. (opens in a new window or tab) 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 tape must combine high initial tack, sheer strength and controlled removability. Holding securely under stress, load or vibration. Industrial applications can include, but are not limited to, signage mounting, panel attachment, temporary assemblies, or reworkable components. Offering damage-free removal to facilitate seamless disassembly for repair, replacement or recycling. 

Why removable strength matters in industrial mounting 

Want to ensure your walls or surfaces remain intact, regardless of adhesive strength? Integrating removable strength into application and production helps to streamline your processes. Removable mounting tapes reduce downtime and damage during servicing, retrofitting, or upgrades. Supporting modular and disassemblable product design. Allowing you to focus on getting the job done without being held back by broken modules or parts. 

As a result, there is no need for mechanical fasteners and glues that compromise on speed and aesthetics. This allows you to focus on delivering a product or service more efficiently and sustainably as a result of its residue and damage-free removal. 

How to choose the strongest tape for your mounting needs 

When choosing the strongest removable mounting tape for your application, there are four factors to consider: 

  • 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) 

Debonding strong mounting tape 

The strongest removable mounting tape will inevitably be harder to remove. However, this doesn’t mean that removal has to be difficult. Rather than just pulling the tape to detach it, Electricity, laser, stretching or heat may be required to debond on demand. Providing strong adhesion without compromising on the ease of removal. 

Our removable mounting solutions 

While the award for the strongest removable mounting tape remains dependent on application, we offer a range of removable solutions to support your mounting needs. In 2014, we launched our award-winning Bond&Detach® technology (opens in a new window or tab). Setting a new standard for residue-free (opens in a new window or tab) tape removal that has revolutionized industrial mounting capabilities. One example of our Debond and Detach range is our tesa® 76565 Bond & Detach (opens in a new window or tab) tape.

Engineered for high temperature, humidity, and UV resistance. Used in automotive applications such as display mounting and bonds in ADAS components and EV systems. Black in colour to eliminate light leakage issues, allowing for decent appearance in flexible designs and automated application.

tesa double-sided foam tapes (opens in a new window or tab), such as tesa® 65605 (opens in a new window or tab), provide temporary but strong bonding with residue-free bonding. Its foam core cushions impacts, making it suitable for mounting on uneven surfaces or in areas with movement or vibration. Many of our double-sided foam tapes are compatible with a variety of substrates such as glass, metal, plastics, painted surfaces, and wood. This makes double-sided foam tapes a highly versatile mounting product that can be easily integrated into processes for a variety of applications. 

Our Filmic tapes (opens in a new window or tab), also referred to as fine line tapes, are thin and dimensionally stable, ideal for bonding glass, metal and plastic. This product is suitable for short-term applications where secure but non-permanent adhesion is required, ideal for precise application. tesa® 61350 filmic tape (opens in a new window or tab) is designed for demanding mounting applications due to its high bonding strength and superior push-out resistance. Ensuring that the tape remains in place for the duration of the mounting lifecycle before being removed. 

We offer a range of temporary mounting aids used in production or installation and clean-removal tape for surface-sensitive materials such as wallpaper, varnished wood or freshly painted surfaces. Allowing you to mount on even the most difficult surfaces without any issue. tesa® Softprint (opens in a new window or tab) mounting tapes help prevent hard demounting and plate damage (opens in a new window or tab) in the printing industry through easy and clean removal of plates.

The future of removable mounting strength: Debonding on Demand

Our product developers are already aiming to integrate debonding mechanisms into over 7,000 products as part of our long-term innovation roadmap.

As part of our constant product innovation, we’ve developed Debonding on Demand (opens in a new window or tab), a technology activated by heat and light. Once activated, extremely strong bonds are created without compromising on easy, residue-free removal. These technologies support design-for-disassembly, high-value component reuse and sustainable product architecture. 

Building on the success of our Debonding on Demand solutions, we're excited to push this technology further. This includes mounting solutions that enable the removal process to be even easier. Raising the standards for what the strongest removable mounting tape can look like and achieve.
