SOLUTIONS FORTRANSPORT SECURINGAfter all the efforts have been undertaken to produce the best refrigerator or freezer,the safe transport should not be left to chance. Our surface protection and strappingtapes are more than reliable resources to secure appliances and their spare parts duringtransportation. From America to Europe, from Africa to Asia, there are our solutions thatmeet the global requirements of the appliance industry.Surface protectiontesa masking and surfaceprotection tapesProtects glass, plastic, or paintedmetal parts to avoid scratches, dirt,and other defects during assembly,transport, or installation processCharacteristics Sufficient bonding Residue-free removal Aging resistanceTransport securingof shelves and binstesa strapping tapesAttaching with tape avoids damageto – in particular – glass shelves,bins, and other parts during transport.Characteristics Special adhesive for residue-free removal High tensile strength to avoid e.g. rattling No risk of tearingTransport securing of doorstesa strapping tapesThe tape will take over some ofthe load so heavy impacts do nothave an effect on the hinges, thereby avoiding claims.Characteristics Residue-free removal, even at lower temperatures No effects to surfaces Very strong and stress resistant6Refrigerators and FreezersTechnical informationFoaming process applicationsAs a worldwide leading supplier of strappingtape, we offer a broad range of products withvarious features for transport securing. Basedon monoaxially oriented polypropylene (MOPP)*film backings and various adhesive systems,our strapping tape exhibits many distinguishedfeatures.High tensile strength and low elongationCompared to biaxially oriented polypropylene(BOPP) and polyester (PET) films, MOPP featuressignificantly higher tensile strength and lowerelongation, which is essential for transportsecuring.Standard tapeResiduesAir permeabilitytesa venting tapesCovers holes to avoid the squeezingout of the PU foam during the foamingprocess, but allows air flow.Characteristics Backing ensures sufficient air flow Hand tearableGap covering before foamingtesa cloth tapesCovers gaps and joints to avoid thesqueezing out of the PU foam duringinjection.Characteristics High adhesion value Easy unwinding Hand tearabletesa tapeNo residuesReinforcing before foamingResidue-free removabilityThe special treatment of the backing and thededicated design of the adhesive system allowthe products to be cleanly removed from varioussurfaces without leaving any residues – eventemperatures as low as –10 C.DispenserOur strapping tapes can even be used moreefficiently with fully automatic bench dispensers.Fully automaticbench dispensertesa 6068tesa cloth and strapping tapesHolds the form tightly together duringfoaming.Characteristics High tensile strength and shearresistance Residue-free removalHole coveringtesa masking and cloth tapesCovers holes to prevent the PU foamfrom squeezing out during foamingprocess.Characteristics Tacky adhesive for secure sealing* Also known as TPP (tensilized polypropylene)Refrigerators and Freezers7

DURABLE CONCEPTS FORMODERN KITCHENSHowever a new oven, hood, or cooktop is planned, we have many solutions that willgive freedom to the designers and help to improve the production efficiency. Manyapplications in this area could be preassembled with our tape and die-cuts, whichmakes the process even cleaner and more measurable. There are many differentmaterials present in a modern kitchen appliance that can be bonded by ourproducts.Mounting of emblemstesa filmic tapesWith double-sided tapes, emblemmounting can be done withoutpunching the metal or plasticsubstrates, which is ideal whenpreassembled.Characteristics Easy to die-cut High adhesion to variousmaterials Aging, temperature,moisture, and shockresistanceConstructive bonding on the inside of the doortesa ACXplusFixing a metal construction withscrews is an insufficient concept.By using double-sided tape, noadditional screws and no curingtime are necessary.
