tesafix 4957 PE Foam Adhesive Tape, White

tesafix 4957 PE Foam Adhesive Tape, White

Double-sided PE foam adhesive tape with a modified acrylate adhesive for reliable, instant bonds on smooth and rough surfaces.

Description

tesafix® 4957 is a high-quality, double-sided adhesive tape with a PE foam backing and a modified acrylic adhesive. It is available in white or black and is covered with a brown release liner (PV0). The soft, highly conformable foam ensures immediate adhesion, even with minimal contact pressure, and is ideal for rough substrates. In addition, the tape compensates for differences in expansion between various materials and offers good resistance to aging and UV exposure. Ideal for self-adhesive installation and bonding of moldings, cable channels, window muntins, price rails, baseboards, and plastic hooks.
