tesa HAF® 8401

200 µm amber reactive HAF mounting tape

Product description

tesa HAF® 8401 is a reactive heat activated film based on phenolic resin and nitrile rubber. This amber double sided tape has no backing. It is protected by a strong paper liner and can easily be slit and die cut.
At room temperature tesa HAF® 8401 is not tacky. It is activated for pre-lamination by heat and starts to become tacky at 90 °C/194 °F. In a second application step heat and pressure is applied over a certain period of time.
After curing tesa HAF® 8401 reaches:

Very high bonding strength
High temperature resistance
Excellent chemical resistance
Bonds remain flexible and elastic

Processing:
1.Pre-lamination:
tesa HAF® 8401 is laminated before curing. For this process we recommend a temperature between 120 °C/248 °F and 140 °C/284 °F.
2. Bonding:
The bonding conditions temperature, pressure and time depend on the application. Following parameters can be regarded as a guideline:
Splicing application:

Temperature: 120-220 °C (248-428 °F)
Pressure: >2bar
Time: 15 – 90 s

Friction liners for clutches:

Temperature: 180 – 230 °C (356-446 °F)
Pressure: > 8 bar
Time: 3 min – 30 min

Magnet bonding:

Temperature: 140 – 180 °C (284-356 °F)
Pressure: > 6-10 bar
Time: 2 min - 5 min

Structural bonding:

Temperature: 180 – 220 °C (356-428 °F)
Pressure: > 10-15 bar
Time: > 3 - 30 min

Bonding strength values were obtained under standard laboratory conditions. Value is guaranteed clearance limit checked with each production batch (Material: Etched aluminium test specimen / Bonding conditions: Temp. = 120 °C/248 °F; p = 10 bar; t = 8 min)
To reach maximum bonding strength surfaces should be clean and dry. Storage conditions according to tesa HAF® shelf life concept.
