tesa® durable mounting tapes - Reliable and responsible assembly solutions

Why use mounting tapes?

Assembly tapes have become an essential solution in modern industrial assembly. Compared to traditional mechanical fasteners (screws, rivets, liquid adhesives), they offer a clean, reliable and efficient bonding methodIt is suitable for a wide variety of materials - metals, plastics, glass and composites.

By replacing complex or invasive processes, mounting tapes offer numerous technical and operational advantages:

  • Even distribution of stresses and vibration absorption

  • Lighter structuresreducing the use of materials

  • Fast, clean applicationto boost productivity

  • Aesthetic finishno visible screws or surface damage

  • Compatibility with recycled or sensitive materials

In an industrial context where durability and efficiency are becoming a priority, tesa® mounting tapes enable a more efficient use of materials. high-performance assembly with low environmental impactThe result is a high level of reliability over the long term.
