Product description

tesa HAF® 8490 is a reactive heat activated film based on phenolic resin and nitrile rubber. This amber single sided tape has a cotton fabric backing. It can easily be slit and die cut.
It is activated for pre-lamination by heat and starts to become tacky at 90 °C. In a second application step heat and pressure is applied over a certain period of time.

Processing:
1. Pre-lamination:
tesa HAF® 8490 is laminated before curing. For this process we recommend a temperature between 120 °C and 140 °C.
2. Bonding:
The bonding conditions temperature, pressure and time depend on the application. Following parameters can be regarded as a guideline:
Splicing application:
  • Temperature: 120–220 °C
  • Pressure: > 2 bar
  • Time: 15–90 s.

Bonding strength values were obtained under standard laboratory conditions. Value is guaranteed clearance limit checked with each production batch (Material: Etched aluminium test specimen / Bonding conditions: temperature = 120 °C; pressure = 10 bar; time = 8 min).
To reach maximum bonding strength surfaces should be clean and dry. Storage conditions according to tesa HAF® shelf life concept.
