tesa® 4580 Highly Permeable
Highly Permeable Venting tape
Product Features- The high air permeability allows the foam to expand fast for efficient foaming process
- The permeability for air and other gases is homogeneously spread to ensure constant foaming results
- Works as a barrier against foams to decrease foam leakage and cleaning effort
Product description
tesa® 4580 is a single-sided tape for venting applications. It is based on a porous nonwoven fabric coated a selected pattern of adhesive dots. The selected design ensures an outstanding air permeability. It is an ideal solution to increase efficiency in your foaming processes.
Product Features
- The high air permeability allows the foam to expand fast for efficient foaming process
- The permeability for air and other gases is homogeneously spread to ensure constant foaming results
- Works as a barrier against foams to decrease foam leakage and cleaning effort
- Unwinds gently to avoid curling which makes the handling easier in order to reduce process time
- Easily torn by hand for an increased working efficiency
- Is conformable to shaped structures
- Allows an exchange of moisture and other gases
Application Fields
The venting tape is used to cover holes during foaming processes in different industries
- Designed for appliances where the foam is used to insulate fridges and freezers, as well as to stabilize the body
- In production of special vehicles such as refrigerator trucks
