tesa® ACXplus 73112 – Gray Acrylic Foam Tape (1200 μm)

High-Performance Bonding for High-Temperature Applications

Product Overview

tesa® ACXplus 73112 is a robust, double-sided acrylic foam tape engineered for long-lasting bonding in demanding environments. With a 1200 μm closed-cell acrylic foam core, it conforms easily to uneven or textured surfaces while delivering strong initial tack and reliable performance at elevated temperatures. It offers high tensile, shear, and peel strength, making it an effective alternative to mechanical fasteners such as rivets, screws, welds, or liquid adhesives, while also providing excellent moisture sealing and long-term durability.

Key Features & Benefits

• Viscoelastic Acrylic Foam Core – Provides excellent stress dissipation and energy absorption for static and dynamic loads.
• High Temperature Resistance – Tailored for high-temperature applications with 150°C long-term and 220°C short-term resistance.
• High Bonding Strength – Strong adhesion to metals, plastics, and painted substrates for durable bonding.
• Excellent Weather Resistance – Reliable under UV, humidity, and outdoor environmental exposure.
• Thermal Expansion Compensation – Maintains secure bonds between dissimilar materials subject to thermal movement.
• Conformable 1200 μm Foam – Adapts to surface irregularities for clean, flush bonding without screws or rivets.
• PFAS/PFOS-Free – Manufactured without perfluorinated substances for a more sustainable bonding solution.

Typical Applications

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