In sign installations and many other applications, high-tech materials are used that have special structures and properties that need to be maintained. Often dissimilar materials need to be bonded, like aluminum on steel, steel on glass, deco glass on fiber composites, or the like. Traditional mechanical fasteners like rivets, welds, screws, or liquid glue may not be suitable for these types of combinations. Or worse yet, they may even damage these materials.

Dealing with bonding in these types of complicated situations has vastly improved with the introduction of high bond tapes. One such line of high bond tapes that we offer and highly recommend is the ACXplus line from tesa.

These high performing acrylic core tapes are used for a wide variety of permanent interior and exterior bonding and mounting applications.

tesa® ACXplus bonding solutions can outperform conventional fastening methods by optimizing our customers’ production processes and the quality and aesthetics of their products.  Many customers depend on the strength and reliability of these tapes to optimize production processes, and contribute to the overall quality and aesthetics of their products.

Let’s highlight a few of the favorites in the ACXplus line.
