Already established across industry tesa® ACXplus represents a secure and fast alternative to traditional bonding methods in sheet metal fabrication, such as liquid glues, screws and rivets. Companies that embrace this innovative approach can expect a cleaner and easier process that takes substantially less time with businesses reporting savings of up to as much as 20%. It allows the combination of materials (such as aluminium on steel) in the production process, improves aesthetics due to the invisible bond, does not damage surfaces reducing the risk of corrosion and can also act as a water seal.
Fabrication processes often use heat and tesa® ACXplus has an elevated temperature resistance - up to 220ºC in some cases - and with the aid of an adhesion promoter can also be bonded to powder coated materials.
