Select tesa® ACXplus acrylic foam tapes

tesa® ACXplus refers here to double-sided tapes with a solid or foamed acrylic core. Depending on the variant, this construction can compensate for mechanical and thermal stresses between parts and conform to uneven surfaces. A carrierless transfer film has a different construction, so adhesive strength alone is not a sound basis for treating it as equivalent to ACXplus. Consider the two surfaces, any gap, component geometry and load together. The data sheet for the specific variant remains the basis for selection.

tesa describes the highly transparent 705x family for transparent or translucent parts, including glass and acrylic glass. Where the bond remains visible, tape colour, thickness, edge appearance and careful application without distracting air bubbles matter alongside adhesion. The grey or white 704x family is described for visually discreet decorative bonds on other surfaces. The optical and mechanical result must be checked on the actual parts before choosing a variant.

The viscoelastic acrylic construction can relieve stresses caused by loads or different thermal expansion of the joined parts. This is an important selection factor in a structural bond between different materials. It does not provide a general load-capacity guarantee: bonding area, direction of force, temperature profile, surface and duration of loading govern the design. Provide these conditions in your enquiry so that the ACXplus family and specific variant can be assessed.

Tell us which tape or application you want assessed, the two parts and surfaces, the bonding area, and the loads and environment. For converting, add the required width, length or die-cut shape and the intended application process. Krückemeyer GmbH can cut suitable tapes and produce die-cut parts. The useful and feasible dimensions, shape and supply format depend on the material and how it will be used on the component.
