Outstanding Initial Bonding Performance

Bonding Power That Drives You Forward

Get the full power in just a few seconds. Our new tape creates powerful bonds even between plastics that are commonly used in the automotive industry and have a low surface energy (LSE).

tesa ® HiP adheres immediately and is able to achieve 80% of its full bonding performance after 5 seconds if 10 N/cm2 pressure is applied.

Bonding Plastics in One Short and Clean Process

Faster. Cleaner. tesa ® HiP.

Bonding of parts in the car interior can be very challenging. Rivets, welds, screws, or liquid glue may not be suitable for all materials and cause various negative effects. Often the process takes too long, may be unclean, or entails higher scrap rates.

These restrictions are now a thing of the past. Our new tesa ® HiP foam tape joins different materials fast, permanently, cleanly, and without damage.

No More Pretreatment

Many plastics have a poor tendency to bond to other materials because of their surface energy. Therefore, in many cases an additional pretreatment has been necessary until now.

With tesa ® HiP there is no need for primer, corona, plasma, or flame treatment. Generally, tesa recommends a cleaned surface free from oils, dust, or similar for a reliable bonding performance.

Our latest product development is impressive thanks to its very simple handling in the manufacturing process. Simply attach the tape to the material and you are done. No heat and no additional steps are required. This saves valuable time, costs, and effort.

One-Fits-All Bonding Solution

One for all

Plastic is an important material for the future of the automotive industry. The reasons are clear: it is light, resistant, durable, and visually appealing. Each 10% reduction in vehicle weight results in a 5% to 7% reduction in fuel consumption. Consequently, more and more plastics are being used. Between 2007 and 2014, automotive plastic usage (PP) increased by 20%.

In the past, different plastics required different bonding solutions. However, tesa ® HiP is suitable for all types of plastic, e.g. PP, ABS, or PC.

Fewer Investment Costs

Time to invest in the future

Together we develop new processes to optimize your production and integration automation with our innovative tape solution.

Processing with tesa ® HiP is so simple that no expensive investments in machinery are needed. Benefit from the cost advantage through low investments and increased flexibility in the production process.

Lean Production Process

Less is more

Our new tape leads to leaner processes resulting in improved efficiency, effectiveness, and profitability in automotive manufacturing.

  • Lower scrap rates because the tape provides precise and clean results. 
  • Lower storage costs because no additional material (e.g. for pretreatment) is needed, and the adhesive rolls require only very little space.
  • Fewer process steps necessary because the product is ready for use and supports immediate subsequent processing.
