Introducing our new fire-certified tesafix® 4965 adhesive tape
We believe there can be no cutting corners when safety is concerned. That’s why we heavily invest in testing and developing fire protection tape for the railway vehicle industry. tesafix® 4965, our latest fire-certified tape is the first of its range. tesafix® 4965 is a transparent double-sided self-adhesive tape consisting of a PET backing and a tackified acrylic adhesive. Thanks to its outstanding technical properties this extensively tested adhesive tape fulfils all the requirements of DIN EN 45545-2 R1 and HL3, the highest hazard level. The tests involved are as follows:
- Heat release
- Smoke generation (smoke density and toxicity)
- Lateral flame spread (speed of burning)
The outcome is an efficient and certified fire protection for interior and exterior applications in railway vehicles – this even applies for double-decker vehicles operated underground or in tunnels.
Full power ahead: efficient and permanent tape mounting
This transparent double-sided self-adhesive tape is suitable for a wide range of applications in the railway sector and helps ensure easy and efficient assembling jobs. This includes quick mounting of ABS parts, application of rubber and EPDM profiles, as well as bonding of moldings, signs and aluminum sheets, and even bonding to LSE surfaces. In addition, our tesafix® 4965 adhesive tape is perfect for the most demanding applications such as heavy stress, high temperatures up to 200°C or critical substrates. The tape’s robust MOPP liner prevents tearing when removed, optimizing the production process – with immediate usability after assembly.
