tesa® ACXplus 73108 – Gray Acrylic Foam Tape (800 μm)

High-Performance Bonding for High-Temperature Applications

Product Overview

tesa® ACXplus 73108 is a robust, double-sided acrylic foam tape designed for durable, long-lasting bonding applications. Featuring an 800 μm closed-cell acrylic foam core, it conforms easily to uneven or textured surfaces while providing strong initial tack and reliable performance under elevated temperatures. It offers excellent tensile, shear, and peel strength, making it an effective replacement for mechanical fasteners such as screws, rivets, welds, and liquid adhesives. It also provides outstanding moisture sealing and long-term stability, even in demanding environments.

Key Features & Benefits

• Viscoelastic Acrylic Foam Core – Absorbs and dissipates stresses to support long-term structural integrity.
• High Temperature Resistance – Suitable for elevated thermal environments with 150°C long-term and 210°C short-term resistance.
• High Bond Strength – Strong adhesion to metals, plastics, paints, and coated surfaces.
• Excellent Weather Performance – UV, humidity, and outdoor exposure resistance.
• Thermal Expansion Compensation – Maintains secure bonding between dissimilar materials.
• Conformable 800 μm Foam – Ensures flush, clean bonding without mechanical fasteners.
• PFAS/PFOS-Free – A safer and more sustainable bonding solution.

Typical Applications

• High-temperature bonding applications
• Panel stiffening and frame bonding
• Decorative trims and profile attachment
