tesa HAF® 8401

200 µm amber reactive HAF mounting tape


Product description

tesa® HAF 8401 is a reactive heat activated film based on phenolic resin and nitrile rubber. This amber double sided tape has no backing. It is protected by a strong paper liner and can easily be slit and die cut.

At room temperature tesa® HAF 8401 is not tacky. It is activated for pre-lamination by heat and starts to become tacky at 90 °C. In a second application step heat and pressure is applied over a certain period of time.

After curing tesa® HAF 8401 reaches:


1 Very high bonding strength

1 High temperature resistance

1 Excellent chemical resistance

1 Bonds remain flexible and elastic


Product details and specifications

Application Fields

It is suitable for bonding of all thermal resistant materials such as metal, glass, plastic, wood and textiles.


1 High-strength splicing (overlap splice)

1 Structural bonding

1 Magnet bonding in electric motors

1 Friction liners for clutches
Processing:
1.Pre-lamination:
tesa® HAF 8401 is laminated before curing. For this process we recommend a temperature between 120 °C and 140 °C.
2. Bonding:
The bonding conditions temperature, pressure and time depend on the application. Following parameters can be regarded as a guideline:

Splicing application:

1 Temperature: 120-220 °C

1 Pressure:>2bar

1 Time: 15 – 90 s.
Friction liners for clutches:

1 Temperature: 180 – 230 °C

1 Pressure: > 8 bar

1 Time: 3 min – 30 min
Magnet bonding:

1 Temperature: 140 – 180 °C

1 Pressure: > 6-10 bar

1 Time: 2 min - 5 min
Structural bonding:

1 Temperature: 180 – 220 °C

1 Pressure: > 10-15 bar

1 Time: > 3 - 30 min

Bonding strength values were obtained under standard laboratory conditions. Value is guaranteed clearance limit checked with each production batch (Material: Etched aluminium test specimen / Bonding conditions: Temp. = 120 °C; p = 10 bar; t = 8
min)

To reach maximum bonding strength surfaces should be clean and dry. Storage conditions according to tesa® HAF shelf life concept.
