What do electric vehicles, smartphones, and industrial equipment have in common? They all rely on tesa adhesive solutions that perform flawlessly in wildly different conditions.
Cool Tapes: Performance across extremes
Technologies
Think you know adhesive tape? Think again. From enduring temperatures of -40°C to relentless heat, from ultra-thin tapes that are 5μm to a thousand times thicker, from underwater to deep space – our tapes master challenges that seem impossible.
The power of contrast
Discover stories of how our adhesive solutions perform under completely opposing conditions as if it were the most natural thing in the world. These fascinating contrasts are exactly what Cool Tapes highlights, revealing what usually remains hidden beneath the surface.
Real-life applications in the Cool Tape Stories showcase how the right adhesive solution can make the impossible possible.
The science of adhesive excellence
What makes a tape "cool"? It's not just the technical specifications – it's the fascinating contradictions. tesa’s adhesive tapes perform excellently in Arctic conditions and relentless desert heat. Adhesives strong enough for heavy machinery are made with the same expertise as those delicate enough for microelectronics.
This is innovation working behind the scenes, in places you'd never expect. Examples range from underwater cables for deep-sea applications to laser label solutions for experiments on the ISS.
So the next time you use your smartphone, drive your car or benefit from any other modern technology, remember that there's probably a cool tape story behind it.
With adhesive tape solutions from tesa in every thickness
At tesa, we always have just the right tape thickness. Our adhesive tape solutions range from 5 μm to 5 mm, a factor of 1,000, like comparing a butterfly's wing to an eagle's. Our portfolio includes everything from ultra-thin tapes for precise adhesion in smartphones to robust battery box sealing. Whatever the challenge, tesa delivers the perfect solution.
From a great all-rounder...to all round the car
Adhesive tape solutions from tesa that always get the job done
No matter the job, experts rely on tesa. Sometimes one roll of tape will handle many different tasks. By contrast, an average car can require over 100 distinct types of tape, each serving a specific purpose, from insulating electric batteries to dampening noise and keeping emblems on! For versatile tapes and specialist solutions, you’re perfectly equipped with tesa.
From deep sea...to deep space
Waterproof tapes and laser-labeling solutions from tesa that perform almost anywhere
No matter the destination or task, experts reach for tesa. In the world’s oceans, our waterproof adhesive tapes are trusted for deep sea applications, such as underwater cabling, and perform reliably at depths of up to 9,000 meters. Meanwhile, at an altitude of 400 km above Earth, our laser-labeling solutions assist with scientific experiments on the International Space Station.
From blazing temperatures...to Arctic chills
Proven performance from tesa’s temperature-resistant tapes
No matter the conditions or the task, experts reach for tesa. When the heat is relentless, our laser-labeling solutions stay firmly in place and remain clearly legible. And when the cold bites hard, our specialist mounting tapes keep automotive trims and seals securely bonded down to -40°C all winter long.
From microelectronics...to megastructures
Mounting tapes from tesa designed to perform at any scale
No matter the size of the task, experts turn to tesa. Our ultra-thin tapes are just 5 μm thick and help make compact devices, such as headphones and smartphones, even slimmer. In contrast, our flame-retardant mounting solutions are trusted for elevator systems in skyscrapers around the world.
