Constructive bonding from tapes specialist tesa includes contemporary applications on some of the world's most iconic buildings with elegant and functional transparent partition walls, door and window panels, signage, aluminium composite panels and reinforcement bars. It is now a key element in many industries and presents a number of challenges. For many applications high-tech materials are used which have special structures and properties and often dissimilar substrates need to be bonded.
The tapes range addresses these issues by often outperforming conventional fastening methods throughout the process, from achieving production efficiencies to delivering long-term performance with better aesthetics and lower maintenance costs.
The viscosity of tesa ACXplus provides both strength and the ability to deal with mechanical stresses. Even on materials with dissimilar surface characteristics bonding performance is positive. The product is available in a range of tape thicknesses to cope with rough or uneven surfaces.
Using the tape, designers have been able to create some of the most imposing facades in buildings around the globe where the fastening of glass panels to aluminium is key to the finished appearance.Internal applications are similarly enabled.
Looking at applications more closely, it is possible to appreciate in detail the extent of the tapes' performance, extending to sealing against dust and moisture, gap filling, shock absorption, reduced corrosion, even contributing to anti-burglar security.
Visitors to the forthcoming FAST Exhibition will have the opportunity of discussing constructive bonding at the tesa stand on April 22nd, 2015 at the Silverstone Wing at the Silverstone Circuit, Northamptonshire. Register online at the link below.
