Quick overview

  • Mounting tapes are double-sided adhesive solutions designed to provide reliable bonding across a variety of surfaces, industries, and application requirements. 
  • The portfolio includes filmic, acrylic core, foam, structural bonding, removable, transfer, cloth, and non-woven tape technologies for different mounting needs. 
  • Key benefits include high bonding performance, flexibility, resistance to harsh environments, chemical resistance, and options for clean removability.
  • Mounting tapes are used for applications such as plate mounting, glass mounting, emblem mounting, and industrial component assembly.

What types of mounting tape are available?

Filmic tape

01Filmic tapes

This category of double-sided tape is relatively thin and dimensionally stable. Filmic tape is ideal for bonding to smooth surfaces such as glass, metal, and plastic. They are chemical and temperature-resistant, with fast adhesion times, and are excellent for die cutting.

06Adhesive transfer tapes

Designed for a wide range of industrial and commercial applications, transfer tapes are thin, flexible, and provide strong adhesion. This category of mounting tape holds up well in demanding environments. Some of the key benefits include: high temperature, chemical resistance, highly conformable, quick adhesion, and low VOC.

Mounting FAQs

Yes, mounting tape can be used for permanent bonding applications when the appropriate tape is selected for the materials and service conditions. tesa mounting tape solutions are designed to provide reliable, long-lasting bonds across a variety of industrial applications, helping manufacturers replace or reduce the need for mechanical fasteners while supporting clean and efficient assembly.

Heavy duty mounting tape is suitable for applications that require a strong and durable bond, particularly when mounting heavier components or when the assembly will be exposed to demanding environmental conditions. The appropriate tape should be selected based on the weight of the component and the performance requirements of the application.

Mounting tape helps manufacturers improve production efficiency by simplifying component assembly and reducing the need for mechanical fastening methods such as screws, rivets, or welding. Available in solutions such as adhesive mounting tape, heavy duty mounting tape, and double sided mounting tape, it supports reliable bonding, cleaner assembly, greater design flexibility, and more streamlined manufacturing workflows across a wide range of industrial applications.

Before selecting mounting tape, manufacturers should evaluate the substrate materials, surface characteristics, environmental exposure, required bond strength, and production process. Considering these factors helps ensure the chosen tape delivers reliable performance for the intended application.
