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 or tesa 4939. The long, natural rubber polymer chains in the adhesive used for tesa 4964 make this double sided cloth 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. tesa 4939 offers similar properties from its differential (different amount of adhesive on either side of the carrier) synthetic rubber adhesive.
tesa double sided cloth tapes are recommended for internal applications only as the natural rubber and synthetic rubber adhesives used will break down under exposure to weathering and UV light.
High Performance Bonding with Double Sided Tape There are three main different bonding technologies available: mechanical fixing such as rivets and screws, (wet) glue or adhesive and double sided adhesive tape. >>
Double Sided Cloth Tapes tesa manufacture double sided cloth tapes which are very good for bonding to rough surfaces as the cloth carrier is able to take a high adhesive coat weight. >>
