What is Tesa 4330?
Tesa 4330 is a flexible masking tape designed for high-performance applications. Made from micro-wrinkled paper, this tape adapts well to irregular surfaces, offering excellent adhesion and high tensile strength. It is commonly used in industries requiring high temperature resistance, such as automotive paint masking, electroplating, and general industrial applications.
Composition and Structure
- Substrate: Micro-wrinkled paper for flexibility and easy adaptation to complex surfaces
- Adhesive type: High-performance adhesive for strong bonding
- Total thickness: 175µm
- Elongation at break: 12%
- Tensile strength: 42N/cm
- Steel surface bonding strength: 4.8N/cm
- Temperature resistance: Short-term: 140°C, Long-term: 40°C
Key Properties
- Flexibility: Slight wrinkling allows for better adhesion to irregular surfaces
