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.
If you are looking for a double-sided tape that is flexible, has a powerful bond, and can be used across a variety of surfaces, we can find a mounting tape for you.
We have mounting tapes suitable for a wide range of applications and industries. From heavy-duty mounting tape engineered to withstand stress and extreme elements, to tapes that debond on demand.
From permanent or long-term bonds to temporary solutions, find out about our range of available options.
What types of mounting tape are available?
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.
Our high-performance acrylic core mounting tape has been engineered to outperform conventional adhesives. This type of double-sided tape, such as tesaⓇ ACXplus, boasts optimal wetting characteristics and superior bonding.
Our foam mounting tape range enables reliable adhesion, which can absorb noise, vibrations, protect surfaces, and provide insulation, even at extreme temperatures. Our foam double-sided tape is available in a variety of thicknesses, densities, adhesives, and backing materials.
Popular amongst engineers, these tapes form reliable bonds that can support heavy loads and bear stress. This category of mounting tape can be used on a variety of surfaces, including metal, composites, and plastic.
Some of our range can be removed without leaving residue or causing damage to surfaces. This range of double-sided tape uses our Bond & Detach® technology, and can debond on demand. There are several removal mechanisms available, including electrical, laser, stretch, and thermal debonding.
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.
This is an umbrella term for cloth, duct, and gaffer tapes. Cloth tapes are highly flexible and conformable, resistant to swings in temperature and weather conditions, therefore suitable for a variety of temporary applications.
Also known as double-sided tissue tapes, non-woven tapes are conformable and flexible, making them suitable for irregular surfaces. Typical applications include lamination and splicing of foam, textiles, leather, and heavy papers, as well as laying floors.
Our mounting tapes offer highly secure, reliable adhesion suitable for a range of surfaces, environments, or area/load ratios. They boast a choice of thicknesses, widths, and backings, as well as key features such as:
High bonding performance
Mounting tape is known for its ease of bonding to a wide range of surfaces. This includes smooth substrates such as metal, all the way to LSE plastics, which are notoriously difficult to bond.
Resistance to harsh environments
Most mounting tape can withstand extreme temperature swings, UV, and humidity
Flexibility
Thanks to the flexibility of materials used, mounting tape can be applied to a variety of surfaces, from flat and slightly curved to heavily curved profiles.
Optically clear finishes
For translucent or transparent materials.
Chemical resistance
To different polar and non-polar substances.
Removability
Depending on the application, some of our mounting tapes can be debonded on demand without leaving residue or damaging the surface.
Our product and technology development department has produced a range of tape solutions for various industrial mounting applications. Working in synergy with our customers, we assess handheld or fully automated application solutions to best meet the needs of the job.
Whether you are looking to bond decorative or protective profiles and moldings in the transportation or furniture industry, mount plastic parts in the automotive industry, or fix lenses to smartphone housings, we have you covered.

Can mounting tape be used for permanent bonding applications?
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.
When should heavy duty mounting tape be used?
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.
How does mounting tape improve production efficiency?
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.
What should manufacturers consider before selecting mounting tape?
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.
