Adhesive tapes
As part of its tesacohesion philosophy which focuses on people, products, processes and performance, Tesa is inviting visitors to bring their applications to the stand to discuss how they can help.
>New products from Tesa include HAF (heat activated tape) which provides the advanced adhesion technology required to obtain high quality splices essential in the continuous production process. HAF is a thermosetting film based on phenolic resin and nitrile rubber which guarantees maximum adhesive strength and easy processing even under difficult conditions.
>The film is not self-adhesive at room temperature and becomes adhesive at 70°C. It can withstand temperatures over 500°C but also offers excellent flexibility down to -50°C. With a strength of up to 30N/mm2, it provides an even distribution of stress, offers outstanding resistance to chemicals and aging, clean easy processing without metering or cleaning and short curing times.
>HAF can be used on virtually all materials, including metal, glass, plastic, wood, paper and textiles, is resistant to common solvents, diluted bases and alkalis and is easily integrated into modern automated production processes.
