TESA 4590 glass filament tape 38 mm x 50 m for bundling, palletising and carton reinforcement

TESA 4590 MONO FILAMENT TAPE 38 mm x 50 m is a universal self-adhesive tape reinforced with unidirectional glass filaments laminated with a polyester film. The tape offers very high longitudinal tensile strength and very low elongation, making it ideal for securing loads and packages during transport and storage.

The synthetic rubber adhesive provides high adhesion to many substrates, including difficult plastics such as PE and PP, while the reinforced backing ensures excellent tear resistance. TESA 4590 is suitable for logistics and production environments as well as everyday maintenance tasks.

Advantages and unique features

• Unidirectional glass filaments provide very high longitudinal tensile strength.
• Very low elongation – the tape stiffens and stabilises bundled items.
• Synthetic rubber adhesive with high tack, also on PE and PP surfaces.
• Excellent adhesion to solid and corrugated board surfaces.
• High tear resistance – the tape maintains integrity even under heavy loads.
• Universal use for bundling, palletising, securing, repair and marking.
• Convenient 38 mm width and 50 m length – perfect for manual and automatic application.

Properties and applications

• Bundling and palletising: strapping cartons, profiles, pipes and other items on pallets to prevent movement.
• Carton sealing: reinforcing box flaps and closing heavy or valuable shipments.
• Transport security: additional reinforcing straps on cartons, crates and long, fragile components.
• Maintenance and repair: quick reinforcement and bundling of structural parts, profiles and covers.
• Identification and marking: permanent marking of cable bundles, packs or storage zones after writing on the tape.

Technical data

Storage recommendations

Store TESA 4590 tape in its original packaging in a cool, dry place away from heat sources and direct sunlight. Room temperature storage with rolls lying flat is recommended to avoid deformation. Before application, ensure that the surface is clean, dry and free from grease to achieve maximum adhesion and long-term performance of the bond.

FAQ

1) What is TESA 4590 38 mm tape mainly used for?
It is most commonly used for bundling and palletising loads, reinforcing cartons and securing heavy or valuable shipments during transport.

2) Can this tape replace standard packing tapes for heavy boxes?
Yes, due to its high tensile strength and low elongation, it is excellent for reinforcing and closing heavy cartons where standard packing tape might not be strong enough.

3) Which surfaces does the tape adhere to best?
The synthetic rubber adhesive adheres well to most smooth and slightly rough surfaces, including cardboard, plastics (also PE and PP), metal and laminated boards.

4) Can the tape be torn by hand?
The tape is highly tear-resistant along the length, so a knife or scissors are recommended to cut it to length and obtain clean edges.

5) Are filament tapes suitable for long-term load securing?
Yes, when the correct number of wraps is used and the surfaces are properly prepared, TESA 4590 provides stable bundling of loads during transport and long-term storage.
