tesa® 53490

Performance Grade Tear Tape


Product description

tesa® 53490 is a tensilized polypropylene teartape with an aggressive adhesive that exhibits excellent bonding on both solid and corrugated cardboard surfaces. Because of the unique backing and its excellent tack, 53490 will not exhibit shrinkage or “lift off” after application to corrugated cardboard. 53490 also exhibits excellent nick resistance and its high tensile strength makes it ideal for pull tab and tearstrip applications.
