tesafix 4985 Adhesive Coated on the Outside Transfer Tape, 33 m x 19 mm, transparent
Transparent, double-sided transfer tape with strong adhesion, made from modified acrylate, for reliable, long-lasting bonds on a wide variety of materials.
Description
tesafix® 4985 is a transparent transfer adhesive based on a highly tacky, age-resistant acrylate adhesive compound and was specifically developed for durable, clean bonds. The PV9 variant features the adhesive compound on the outer side, making it particularly easy to work with—for example, when applying a self-adhesive backing to posters, photos, fabric samples, or plastic parts. Thanks to its excellent initial tack, outstanding UV and moisture resistance, as well as solid resistance to chemicals and plasticizers, this adhesive tape is ideal for demanding, professional applications in industry, advertising, and the trades. The backing-free system with a release paper liner ensures uniform adhesive transfer, reliable adhesion, and a consistently high-quality result.
