01Double-sided filmic tapes

Our PET film and PP film tapes are an assortment of double-sided tapes of various strengths and thicknesses for straightforward bonding of flat, smooth surfaces, such as glass, metal, or non-embossed plastics, even in small dimensions.

02Acrylic foam tapes

Our tesa® acrylic foam product family was designed for the demanding applications of the electronics industry, such as curved designs. Its viscoelasticity allows special bonding capabilities, impact protection, and waterproofing on materials with different surface characteristics due to excellent wetting, reworkability, and die-cuttability.

03PE foam tape

Our PE foam tapes for back cover and touch display mounting activate their adhesive strength quickly without requiring excessive pressure. This makes them ideal for curved designs. Their shear and impact resistance and the compressible foam backing are available with or without PET reinforcement.

04Structural bonding tapes

Our structural bonding tapes meet the requirements of miniaturized, sophisticated small electronics, such as wearables. Their environmental and shock resistance make them ideal for frame mounting and FPC stiffening. Plus, with their range of activation from room temperature to >130 °C, they provide outstanding bonding power on small bonding areas in a multitude of environments.

05Removable/Stretch-release tape

The revolutionary stretch-release tapes, such as the tesa® Bond & Detach® series, are designed for permanent mounting yet quick removal and offer a secure hold for batteries and other components. The innovative foamed version offers advanced shock protection without compromising on its fast and easy residue-free removal for recycling or replacement.

06Electrically conductive tapes

Our single- and double-sided electrically conductive tapes for FPC/PCB bonding and grounding as well as metal-to-metal mounting provide good EMI shielding performance. The isotropic tapes strike a balance between electrical conductivity and adhesive properties for any shielding and grounding applications needed for wireless connectivity.

07Thermal management tapes

Our thermal management tapes manage the temperature of wearables components with high energy consumption, such as during GPS usage, increasing the reliability and performance of the entire device. With outstanding wet-out properties, electrical insulation, and bonding strength, tesa’s TMT assortment improves user comfort with temperature-regulating thermal conductivity.

08Optically clear adhesives

A bright and efficient display with rich colors requires sophisticated, highly transparent lamination adhesives. Our high-transparency tesa® OCA solutions meet the demand for low-haze adhesives that are resistant to UV rays, humidity, and temperature. A range of adhesives with unique mechanical performance profiles enables different display and device design.

09Single-sided covering tapes

Available in matte black and amber to cater for various needs, our single-sided covering tapes protect wearables like a second skin. The PET film and polyimide tapes offer an ultrathin yet strong and reliable bonding force, a low gloss level, solvent resistance, and good light blocking for LCD and OLED screens.
