Foam mounting tapes are double sided
New double sided foam mounting tapes aimed at high performance consumer electronics and non-permanent stress fastening applications are now available from Tesa UK. Developed to offer optimum mechanical and environmental performance the products extend the thickness range within the company's thin foam tape assortment.
Two tapes - Tesa 62946 and Tesa 62948 - have been designed for technically demanding use such as fastening touch panels, lenses and decorative trims for electronic and electrical goods. Both tapes feature PET film reinforcement to improve stiffness and handling during the production of die cut forms frequently used during manufacturing processes in these industries. Also common is a tackified acrylic adhesive system, particularly suited to outdoor and high temperature environments, that optimises adhesive performance on high energy surfaces such as metal and glass.
These tapes also share a closed cell PE cell structure featuring a thick membrane that offers high mechanical strength. Additionally, the highly conformable foam backing compensates for design tolerances and uneven surfaces while the elasticity of the foam accommodates the different expansion of parts that are bonded. Dampening properties and shock absorption are excellent too.
