tesa ® is a strong partner of solar panel<br />
manufacturers; keeping its dominance in<br />
the sector with innovative and constantly<br />
evolving solutions that facilitate production<br />
processes, increase productivity. In addition<br />
to its panel production products, tesa ® also<br />
introduced a new product line to the market,<br />
offering the strongest double-sided tape<br />
series, acrylic-bearing, high-performance,<br />
powerful and durable tesa ® ACX plus<br />
products. The new product line, which is<br />
manufactured with a patented technology<br />
of tesa ® , stands out with its bonding power,<br />
stress dissipation, temperature and weather<br />
resistance. Achieve higher efficiencies with<br />
intelligent bonding solutions from tesa ®<br />
ACX plus high performance tapes, dispensers<br />
and technical advice.<br />
Installation of solar panels with<br />
tesa ® ACX plus<br />
tesa ® ACX plus is suited for diverse and<br />
demanding bonding applications in the solar<br />
industry. It offers the features and versatility<br />
you need.<br />
- High bonding system<br />
- Levelling out differing thermal material<br />
elongation.<br />
- High temperature and weathering<br />
resistance<br />
- Reliable performance over time.<br />
Features of tesa ® ACX plus<br />
Bonding Power<br />
• For powerful long-lasting bonds – even on<br />
material with different surface characteristics<br />
• Wetting and chemical adaption to the<br />
bonded surfaces<br />
• Tape thicknesses can be adjusted to<br />
compensate for rough and uneven surfaces<br />
Stress Dispersion<br />
• tesa ® ACX plus has an outstanding ability to<br />
compensate static, dynamic and temperature<br />
stress, up to the life cycle of a component<br />
• Due to viscoelastic behavior stresses can<br />
be dissipated to ensure a secure bond<br />
• Very high outdoor temperature changes<br />
are tolerated even when joined materials<br />
have different elongation factors<br />
Temperature and Weather Resistance<br />
• This superior bond can resist high natural<br />
temperature, weather and other influences<br />
• The high degree of oxidation resistance<br />
is based on the fully saturated carbon chain<br />
which is the foundation of the acrylates used<br />
in tesa ® ACX plus<br />
• The special curing chemistry forms an<br />
outstanding temperature-resistance network<br />
tesa ® ACX plus ’s High<br />
Performance: Viscoelasticity<br />
Feature<br />
The high performance of tesa ® ACX plus<br />
is based on its viscoelasticity: this leads to<br />
elastic and viscous characteristics, providing<br />
inner strength as well as relaxation of<br />
mechanical stresses. It consists of a highperformance<br />
acrylic system and is primarily<br />
characterized by its bonding power, stress<br />
dissipation, and its temperature and weather<br />
resistance. Due to its formulation, it<br />
combines a very high adhesion level with the<br />
ability to absorb and dissipate high dynamic<br />
load. Even for combinations of hard-tobond<br />
materials such as plastics and all kinds<br />
of metal, it offers a convenient solution due<br />
to its high processing safety.<br />
tesa ® ACX plus offers more than a<br />
tape;<br />
Our solutions go beyond tape. We provide<br />
technical consulting and proven application<br />
tools, in order to implement a fast and<br />
reliable production process at our customers.<br />
Our application systems are easy to use<br />
and enable constant quality. We are scaling<br />
them depending on production output and<br />
complexity. Benefit from an individual and<br />
cost-efficient solution.<br />
