tesa HAF® 8490
Heat activated film
Product description
tesa® HAF 8490 is a thermosetting single-sided adhesive film (brown) that is based on phenolic resin and nitrile rubber. It has a white cotton fabric carrier.
At room temperature tesa® HAF 8490 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 8490 reaches a very high bonding strength, high temperature stability and excellent chemical resistance. Because of the rubber components HAF 8490 remains flexible and elastic.
tesa® HAF 8490 can easily be slit and die-cut.

Additional Info
Processing:
1. Pre-lamination:
tesa® HAF 8490 is laminated before curing. For this process we recommend a temperature between 90 °C and 110 °C.
2. Bonding:
The bonding conditions temperature, pressure and time depend on the application. Following parameters can be regarded as a guideline:
Splicing application:
To reach maximum bonding strength surfaces should be clean and dry. Storage conditions according to tesa® HAF shelf life concept.
Note: Bonding strength values were obtained under standard laboratory conditions (Mean values). 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)

2. Bonding:
The bonding conditions temperature, pressure and time depend on the application. Following parameters can be regarded as a guideline:
Splicing application:
- Temperature: 120°C - 200°C
- Pressure: > 2 bar
- Time: 15 sec - 90 sec
