tesa® 7140 PV3

Flange masking tape in the automotive industry


Product Features
  • Residue-free removal on e-coat and painted substrates
  • Temperature resistance up to 170°C/40min
  • Smooth demasking without tape tearing

Product description

tesa® 7140 PV3 is a very-high-temperature-resistant laminate of PVC and PET films, combining the key benefits of both materials: the PVC layer ensures excellent paint adhesion and flexibility, while the PET layer provides high tensile strength. These properties make it ideal for masking window flange areas in automotive painting processes. This tape enables direct bonding of window panes to e-coated surfaces without the need for primers or additional surface treatments.
