Tesa 51960 Translucent Double Sided Plastic Tape, 6.6N/cm 30N/cm, Fabric Reinforced Polypropylene Backing, 50mm x 25 m

Tesa Double Sided Plastic Tape, 25m Length, 50mm Width - 51960-00002-00

This double-sided plastic tape provides a discreet bonding solution for industrial assembly and mounting tasks. It is designed for use where a slim, translucent adhesive layer is required to join surfaces reliably across automation, electronics, electrical and mechanical contexts. The tape's fabric-reinforced backing and tackified acrylic adhesive deliver a balance of durability and conformability for fixed installations.

Features and Benefits:

• Tensile strength 30N/cm gives secure load-bearing joints
  Adhesion 6.6N/cm ensures firm initial grab on varied substrates
  Operating range -40°C to 120°C maintains bond in extremes
  Fabric-reinforced polypropylene backing resists shear forces
  Tackified acrylic adhesive provides long-term attachment
  Thin profile 0.248mm allows low-gap, unobtrusive fixing

Applications

• Suitable for bonding trim and panels in equipment enclosures
  Ideal for securing sensors and small components in automation
  Used with PCB mounts where low-profile fixing is needed
  Can be used for attaching nameplates and overlays in control cabinets
  Used for temporary fixturing during assembly and testing processes

How long is a single roll and what width does it provide?

Each roll supplies 25m of tape in a 50mm width suitable for continuous runs without frequent splicing.

What Visual appearance should be expected once applied?

The tape has a translucent finish that minimises Visual disruption when applied between similar-coloured materials.

How does the backing material affect mechanical performance?

The fabric reinforcement in the polypropylene backing increases resistance to shear and helps distribute stress across the bond line.

Which adhesive type is used and how does it behave over time?

A tackified acrylic adhesive is used
it offers strong initial tack and develops lasting adhesion for permanent joins.

What mechanical load capability can users plan for?

Design calculations can reference a tensile capacity of 30N/cm when estimating joint strength for bonded assemblies.
