Applications
Revolutionize your product design with high-performance tapes
High-performance tapes enable engineers and designers to bond dissimilar materials, such as metals, plastics, and composites, while maintaining the integrity of the bond. This flexibility allows manufacturers in many sectors to develop creative, innovative products.
In industries like aerospace and automotive, high-performance tapes are replacing traditional mechanical fasteners, reducing overall product weight, thereby leading to better fuel efficiency and performance. They also contribute to increased comfort within the passenger cabin by absorbing and dampening vibrations and noise.
For consumer electronics and other products where visual appeal is important, high-performance tapes create a cleaner and more aesthetically pleasing look by eliminating visible fasteners. Additionally, they combine bonding, sealing, and insulating functions, reducing the need for extra components. In addition, manufacturers are turning to high-performance tapes to meet sustainability and recycling requirements in product design as
Discover the tesa® ACXplus assortment of high-performance tapes
With our tesa® ACXplus tape assortment, you can effortlessly achieve durable bonds across various materials. These high-performing, double-sided acrylic foam tapes provide innovative options for aesthetically pleasing, secure, fast, and permanent bonding applications.
The high performance offered by tesa® ACXplus acrylic foam tapes is attributed to a unique feature: viscoelasticity. This property combines both elastic and viscous characteristics, enabling the material to perform outstandingly under various conditions. The special acrylic adhesive system in tesa® ACXplus harnesses these dual effects. Elastic forces restore inner core strength, while the tape's viscous behavior effectively dissipates stress. This interaction enables our acrylic foam tapes to compensate for the thermal elongation of different materials, ensuring dynamic stresses are optimally managed for a secure and lasting bond.
FAQs about high-performance tapes
What defines "high-performance" in tapes for industrial applications?
High-performance tapes for industries offer strong bonds to various surfaces, including low surface energy substrates like plastic, glass, and metal. They withstand extreme environmental factors such as temperature fluctuations, humidity, and physical stress without losing their adhesive properties. They are also chemical and solvent resistant tapes that are flexible enough to conform to different shapes and surfaces without cracking or losing adhesion.
How do high-performance tapes compare to traditional fastening methods?
High-performance tapes offer several advantages over traditional fastening methods like nuts, bolts, screws, and rivets: They are quicker and easier to apply, reducing labor costs and installation time. And as permanent assembly tapes, they are not only lighter, but also create an enhanced, seamless appearance by eliminating visible fasteners. High-performance tapes maintain flexibility and resist impact and fatigue better than mechanical fasteners. Also, these kinds of tapes do not rust or corrode, which makes them ideal for outdoor or harsh environments. They also dampen vibrations and reduce noise by eliminating metal-to-metal contact.
How do high-performance tapes contribute to weight reduction in product design?
By using high-performance tapes instead of bolts, screws, or rivets, designers can avoid the added weight of metal fasteners. These load-bearing adhesive solutions distribute stress evenly across bonded surfaces, allowing for the use of thinner, lighter materials without compromising strength. Thanks to their strong bonding capabilities, high-performance tapes eliminate the need for additional structural reinforcement in materials like composites, plastics, and thin metals. Moreover, high-performance tapes can serve multiple functions – such as bonding, sealing, and insulating – thereby reducing the need for additional components and overall weight.
