Double sided cloth tapes are very good for bonding to rough surfaces as the cloth carrier is able to take a high adhesive coat weight. We use either a natural rubber adhesive, as found on tesa 4964, or a synthetic rubber adhesive as used on tesa 4934. The long, natural rubber polymer chains in the adhesive for tesa 4964 make this tape ideal for applications such as carpet laying as the tape can be removed quickly and cleanly after use. The cloth carrier offers a resistance to tearing yet itself is hand-tearable.
Due to the properties of these adhesives, recommended applications are internal only as under exposure to weathering and UV light they will break down.
