Tesa ACX tapes

Tesa ACX tapes are high performance tapes for permanent bonding in indoor and outdoor environments and mounting applications. They offer superior performance to traditional fastening methods, optimizing our customers' production processes and the quality and aesthetics of their products.

Tesa ACX tapes are engineered for high-performance, long-lasting adhesion across a variety of surfaces and demanding applications and they are designed with unique viscoelastic properties, combining elastic strength with the ability to dissipate mechanical stress.

These tapes are double-sided acrylic foam tapes that deliver exceptional strength, durability, and versatility for both indoor and outdoor use, making them the preferred choice for constructive bonding in industries such as construction, automotive, signage, and manufacturing.

This technology enables the tapes to absorb dynamic vibrations and accommodate thermal expansion between different materials-such as metal, glass, and plastics-ensuring a secure, permanent bond even under challenging conditions. Their superior resistance to weather, temperature fluctuations, and chemicals means Tesa ACX tapes maintain their performance in harsh environments, offering a reliable alternative to traditional fastening methods like screws, rivets, or liquid adhesives.

Available in a range of thicknesses and colors-including transparent, gray, white, and black-Tesa ACX tapes adapt seamlessly to various substrates and design requirements, providing invisible fastening solutions without damaging surfaces.

Whether you need to bond transparent materials like glass, create aesthetically pleasing joints, or ensure flame-retardant performance, there’s a Tesa ACX tape tailored for your project.

Industries that benefit most from using Tesa ACX tapes

Tesa ACX tapes are renowned for their high-performance bonding capabilities, making them a preferred choice across several demanding industries. The following sectors benefit most from the unique properties of Tesa ACX tapes:

- Automotive Industry:  

Tesa ACX tapes are widely used for assembling vehicle components, bonding trims, emblems, and panels. Their ability to provide immediate handling strength, absorb vibrations, and withstand temperature fluctuations streamlines production and enhances durability in automotive manufacturing.

- Construction and Building Industry:  

These tapes excel in bonding building facades, glass panels, and other structural elements. Their resistance to weather, chemicals, and temperature changes ensures long-lasting bonds, even in harsh outdoor environments. Tesa ACX tapes are particularly valued for their ability to accommodate different rates of thermal expansion between materials like metal and glass.

- Electronics Industry:  

Tesa ACX tapes are used for mounting components, bonding display panels, and assembling electronic devices. Their clean application, strong adhesion, and ability to dissipate stress are crucial for the precise and durable assembly of sensitive electronic parts.

- Signage and Graphics:  

In the signage sector, Tesa ACX tapes provide invisible, robust bonds for mounting signs, displays, and decorative panels. Their weather resistance and strong adhesion ensure that signs remain securely mounted both indoors and outdoors.

- Special Vehicle Manufacturing (Rail, Trucks, Caravans):  

The tapes are also used in the assembly of special vehicles, such as ambulances and caravans, where quick, clean, and durable bonding is essential for efficiency and safety.

- Renewable Energy (Solar and Wind Power):  

Tesa ACX tapes are employed in the assembly of solar panels and wind turbines, where their ability to bond dissimilar materials and resist environmental stress is critical; they are versatile and can be tailored for custom applications, making them suitable for any industry that demands strong, durable, and efficient bonding solutions.

How do Tesa ACX tapes perform in high-temperature environments

Tesa ACX tapes are specifically engineered for high performance in demanding temperature conditions. They offer:

- Long-Term Temperature Resistance: Tesa ACX tapes, particularly the 707x series, can withstand continuous exposure to temperatures up to 120°C (248°F).

- Short-Term Temperature Peaks: They can handle short-term temperature spikes up to 220°C (428°F), making them suitable for applications where brief, intense heat is expected.

- Thermal Stress Compensation: The viscoelastic acrylic core compensates for thermal elongation and contraction of bonded materials, ensuring a stable and durable bond even as temperatures fluctuate.

- Outdoor and Industrial Use: Their high resistance to temperature, UV, and chemicals makes them ideal for both indoor and outdoor applications in industries like automotive, construction, and electronics.

In summary, Tesa ACX tapes deliver reliable, long-lasting adhesion and stress dissipation in high-temperature environments, outperforming many traditional bonding methods in both durability and versatility.
