tesa® ACXplus 74512 Seal Line

Heat-activatable acrylic foam tape

Product description

tesa® ACXplus 74512 Seal Line is a deep black acrylic foam tape for permanent mounting of door seals, sun roof seals and Obstacle Detection System (ODS) profiles. The adhesive gets activated by hot air or near-infrared when applying it onto the PP/EPDM, PP, TPV, or TPE seal.

Compared to the conventional process with primer, tesa® ACXplus Seal Line ensures a highly secure bond to the rubber profile, enables a higher application speed than using primer, and realizes a more environmentally friendly production process.

Its outstanding cold shock resistance is based on a modified acrylic foam core, which assures a reliable bond even at extreme low temperatures. Being viscoelastic, tesa® ACXplus 74512 Seal Line absorbs and dissipates dynamic and static loads optimally. This exceptional capability enables tesa® ACXplus 74512 Seal Line to compensate for extreme physical stress caused by the different thermal elongation of bonded parts in rapidly changing temperatures.

The deep black color provides an enhanced appearance and high design flexibility.

The density of the acrylic foam is 800 kg/m³.

Features:
  • Outstanding dynamic T-block performance
  • Superior dynamic shear resistance
  • Ensure more accurate positioning on seals during the lamination process
  • PFAS / PFOS free Product
  • Efficient and secure bonding of the heat-activatable layer to seals
  • No lift up on curved surfaces
  • Strong bonding that withstands humidity and heat
  • Closed cell acrylic foam core for reliable sealing to prevent water penetration
  • High humidity and UV resistance
  • Excellent cold shock performance

Application Fields

tesa® ACXplus 74512 Seal Line can be widely used for mounting of door seals, sun roof seals, Obstacle Detection System (ODS) profiles and different types of seals for recreational vehicles.
