Many workers today complain about the noise in their work environment. This makes it harder for them to concentrate, which affects productivity. Glass partitions are an ideal solution to create attractive, as well as functional wall segments. Self-adhesive tapes are also used for a clean and flawless finish on these transparent materials. For example, tesa developed® an innovative range of double-sided adhesive tapes: tesa® ACXplus. These tapes are based on a powerful acrylic system, which provides better results than most conventional fastening methods such as silicone or liquid adhesive.
For quick and easy assembly and optimum appearance, partitions are often constructed of glass bonded to an aluminum frame. They can also consist of glass-to-glass connections to make them as invisible as possible. In applications where high transparency is required, the ultra-transparent tesa® ACXplus tapes for invisible adhesion to many different materials, including glass, polycarbonate, aluminum and more.
There are many reasons why double-sided tapes from tesa® better than most conventional fastening methods for glass-to-glass joints and framed glass applications.
"Our self-adhesive tesa® tapes are distinguished by their high adhesive strength, even on difficult materials, and their very high initial adhesion without an adhesion promoter. They can also be applied quickly and easily, improving productivity and efficiency. After all, there is no drying time and extra work to remove adhesive residue. Moreover, it is a non-toxic fastening method, with which elements can be glued together in an invisible and clean way," says tesa specialist Eric Deibel®.
"These tapes have excellent resistance to shock, aging, UV radiation, temperature fluctuations, humidity and chemicals. They provide a complete seal without visible joints, reducing the spread of noise and odor. Uneven surfaces are evened out with the tape."
tesa® offers a wide range of ACXplus tapes with a total thickness between 500 and 2000 µm, a carrier made of solid or foamed acrylic and an adhesive mass made of pure acrylic. The new transparent ACXplus 7058 Neutralized Edge is also ideal for the aesthetic finishing of decorative glass panels and partitions, among others. This tape prevents dust and impurities from adhering between glass panels.
