tesa® 4957
Double-sided general purpose PE-foam tape
Product description
tesa® 4957 is a double-sided tape consisting of a very conformable closed cell PE-foam backing and a shear resistant modified acrylic adhesive. It is suitable for outdoor use and available in both black and white.
tesa® 4957 features:
- High immediate bond on rough surfaces
- Very good compensation for design tolerances
- Leveling out of different thermal expansion of materials
- Shock absorption and sealing function
