Product description

tesa® 53488 is a conventional tear tape with a tensilized polypropylene backing and rubber adhesive. This adhesive system provides excellent bonding on both solid and corrugated cardboard surfaces. The mono-oriented polypropylene backing exhibits good tensile strength and low elongation. This, in combination with its high tack, prevents shrinkage or "lift off" after application and is ideal for most pull tab and tear strip applications.
