What is Tesa8742?
Tesa8742 is a low-temperature thermoplastic film with a thickness of 50μm. It does not contain isocyanates and does not undergo a cross-linking reaction, making it a clean and safe choice for both temporary and structural bonding. Tesa8742 provides strong yet reversible adhesion, especially suitable for applications that require precise positioning, removability, or composite lamination. This versatile bonding film is used across multiple sectors, including electronics, automotive interiors, optics, and plastic film fabrication.
Composition and Structure
- Type: Thermoplastic bonding film
- Thickness: 50μm
- Material: Isocyanate-free, non-crosslinking thermoplastic
- Appearance: Transparent with low haze
- Removal: Clean and residue-free
Key Properties
- Activates at low temperatures for sensitive materials
- Clean removal without damaging bonded surfaces
- Excellent transparency for optical-grade bonding
- High bonding strength with plastic and flexible materials
- Maintains adhesion under thermal and mechanical stress
Applications of Tesa8742
- Temporary fixation of electronic components during production
- Bonding automotive interior trims like door panels and dashboards
- Securing optical elements such as lenses and filters in assembly
- Intermediate bonding layer for plastic film lamination
- Temporary hold during multi-step manufacturing or transport
Features & Benefits of Tesa8742
- Suitable for multi-industry applications
- Allows precise positioning before final bonding
- Easy to remove with no glue residue
- Compatible with a wide range of plastic substrates
- Maintains integrity under vibration and temperature variations
Comparison with Other Adhesive Tapes
- Offers lower activation temperature than many thermal bonding films
- Leaves no adhesive residue unlike traditional pressure-sensitive tapes
- Better suited for optical use due to its low haze and clarity
- Reversible adhesion not found in permanent adhesives
- Higher thickness than Tesa8741 for stronger bonding demands
