Double-sided adhesive tape 62512

mountingPE foampaper liner

Product description
tesa® 62512 is a double-sided PE foam tape designed for industrial mounting applications, including PV module frame bonding. It combines a highly conformable PE foam backing with a tackified acrylic adhesive to deliver secure load-bearing joints in outdoor and indoor environments.

Product features

• High ultimate adhesion level for reliable bonding performance
• Suitable for outdoor use: resistant to UV, water and ageing
• Conformable PE foam core with high internal strength
• Compatible with automatic and manual module assembly processes
• High foam compression rate facilitating solar module assembly

Application Fields

• General mounting and bonding applications
• Fixing trims, profiles and decorative strips
• Bonding and sealing of PV module frames and framed modules
