Sometimes, a permanent solution isn’t required. Removable tape is ideal for temporary, residue-free removal without causing damage to surfaces. It is suitable for signage, directions or markings, trade show booths and displays, as well as point-of-sale design.
The double-sided adhesive tapes can be removed and even reused without any loss in quality, which saves costs and time. Our special range comprises reversible tapes in various thicknesses and with various properties for different applications and requirements.
Even though they are only used for a limited time, you can expect the highest standard of quality from our portfolio. Apart from residue-free bonding, they offer strong adhesion, high reliability, and a long-lasting hold as well as a great look and simple application. In other words, our special double-sided adhesive tape range bundles together proven and innovative products which can be readily removed residue-free, without compromising on adhesive strength and functionality.
Depending on the application, here’s what we recommend:
If you would like to test one of these types of removable tapes for residue-free bonding, please
Using removable tape in electronics manufacturing makes it easy to remove individual components. It also improves your ability to repair technology and cut out the mess and drying time of glue. This can not only help towards recyclability but also can prolong the lifespan of your electronic equipment.
Removable tape can be used in wind turbine production, utilized in the mold masking and mold release process. Our mold preparation solutions are designed to simplify operations and ensure accuracy from the beginning. We help manufacturers operate more efficiently and effectively by cutting down on preparation time with tape that can be reused and increasing mold durability.
Double-sided stretch release tape is easy to remove, even when it’s been attached for long periods. This makes it the perfect choice for bonding interior automotive components reliably. Specialist Bond & Detach® properties allow for residue-free removal at any time, reducing waste, rework time, and scrap costs.
While adhesives such as foam tape and heavy-duty tape provide strong bonds that hold heavier objects, they may also damage the paint, wallpaper, or underlying wall material upon removal. Debondable tapes are designed to be easily removed without leaving significant residue or damage, but may not be suitable for textured or uneven surfaces.
Trade shows and events require adhesives that offer strong adhesion while debonding without damage. Our removable tape ensures that temporary signage, booth elements, and decorations stay in place throughout the entirety of your event, without the risk of damage to walls and surfaces once you’re finished
Also known as debondable tape, this is a type of adhesive tape designed for temporary, residue-free bonding that doesn’t cause damage to surfaces.
We engineer our debondable tapes so that they can be used on a wide range of surfaces. These commonly include the following, but will be dependent on the specific tape formation:
For best results, ensure the surface is clean, dry, and free of contaminants (e.g. oils, dust, or mold release agents) before application. Some of our tapes may include primers or adhesion promoters to improve bonding performance on low surface energy materials like polypropylene (PP) or polyethylene (PE).
It’s important to be aware that performance can vary between different types of debondable tapes. Some tapes are optimized for high-energy surfaces (like metals and glass), while others are specially engineered to adhere well to low-energy plastics.
The effectiveness of removable (debondable) tape depends on several factors. The lifespan of high-quality tapes can range from 6 months to 2 years for indoor use. While other tapes will be specially designed to last longer if environmental stresses are minimal.
Key factors that influence the lifespan of adhesives include:
Manufacturers will specify the expected application life in technical datasheets.
The weight limit for our tapes ultimately depends on how well the surface has been prepared before adhesion and the material that is being supported. Our table below outlines the number of Newtons per cm our tesa® 65610 invisibond removable tape can hold, depending on the material (e.g. aluminium, PVC, and steel).
Adhesion to Aluminium (initial): 4 N/cm
Adhesion to Aluminium (after 14 days): 4 N/cm
Adhesion to PVC (initial): 3 N/cm
Adhesion to PVC (after 14 days): 4 N/cm
Adhesion to Steel (initial): 4 N/cm
Adhesion to Steel (after 14 days): 4 N/cm
tesa® 65605 is a double-sided polyethylene (PE) foam tape with a permanent adhesive on the open side and a removable adhesive on the covered side. Our formulation delivers residue-free removal.
The typical application for this removable tape is for signage and visual boards. The most common mounting for this application has been magnetic in the past, meaning use was limited to magnetic surfaces. Our newly developed multi-use tesa® 65605 ensures that this application can be mounted and demounted from a variety of surfaces, and can be reused up to 5 times. Both sides of the tape can be mounted well on non-delaminating surfaces.
tesa® 65605 mounting tape can be used on:
