The high performance of tesa ACX plus is based on a special feature: viscoelasticity. Viscoelasticity describes material performance that is defined by both elastic and viscous characteristics.
The elastic-restoring forces provide inner strength, while the viscous part of the material behavior leads to relaxation of mechanical stresses. tesa ACXplus tape employs a special acrylic system that combines both beneficial effects. The special balance between elastic and viscous performance not only secures optimal wetting of different surfaces, but also absorbs dynamic forces and vibrations, relieving stress in the bonded joint. At the same time, the adhesive bond is dimensionally stable and permanent.
