What is Tesa 4288?
Tesa 4288 is a medium-strength strapping tape made with a MOPP (mono-oriented polypropylene) backing and a natural rubber adhesive. Engineered for bundling, palletizing, and pipe fixation, this tape provides excellent tensile strength, low elongation, and reliable adhesion, making it ideal for both industrial applications and transportation protection. Its UV-resistant black backing ensures stable performance even under prolonged exposure to sunlight and extreme temperatures.
Composition and Structure
- Substrate: MOPP (unidirectional polypropylene)
- Adhesive: Natural rubber
- Total thickness: 114µm
- Color: Black
- Customizable width options available
- Core: Paper tube
Key Properties
- Elongation at break: 35%, offering controlled flexibility without over-stretching
- Tensile strength: up to 300N/cm, suitable for medium-load strapping
- Bonding strength to steel: approximately 5–6N/cm
- Excellent UV resistance due to the black substrate
- Operating temperature: Long-term up to 80°C, short-term up to 100°C
- Thin profile for a tight fit and minimal volume addition
Applications of Tesa 4288
- Fixing copper, iron, and plastic pipes during transport and installation
- Palletizing and bundling of goods for shipment or storage
- Coil end-tab fixation to prevent material unwinding
- Reinforcing and sealing heavy-duty cartons
- Surface protection and component securing during metal processing
Features & Benefits of Tesa 4288
- High tensile strength for secure bundling and strapping
- Low elongation ensures stable fixation without deformation
- Strong adhesion to metal and other common industrial surfaces
- UV-resistant for outdoor or high-heat applications
- No adhesive residue or ghosting upon removal
- Easy to apply and tear-resistant under pressure
- Custom width options to suit various operational requirements
Comparison with Other Adhesive Tapes
- Offers higher tensile strength than standard packaging tapes
- More UV- and temperature-resistant than general-purpose strapping tapes
- Cleaner removal and better surface protection than duct or cloth tapes
- Tailored specifically for medium-load bundling where other tapes may stretch or fail
- Ideal alternative to filament tape for certain industrial uses
