TESA ACXplus 7072 High Resistance, double-sided acrylic foam tape 500 µm, black, 25 m × 25 mm, outdoor-grade, temperature- and chemical-resistant

TESA ACXplus 7072 High Resistance is a black, double-sided acrylic foam tape with a 500 µm thickness in a 25 m × 25 mm size. It provides very good temperature and shear resistance as well as exceptional resistance to thermal shocks down to −40 °C. Its viscoelastic acrylic core dissipates stress and compensates differential thermal expansion, making TESA ACXplus 7072 suitable for durable outdoor bonds.

Benefits and unique features

• Temperature resistance: 120 °C long-term, 220 °C short-term
• Exceptional thermal shock resistance (down to −40 °C)
• High outdoor durability: exposure to extreme temperatures, UV, chemicals, salt water and cleaning agents
• Viscoelastic core — stress dissipation and expansion compensation
• Deep-black carrier for neat bonds on decorative parts

Properties and applications

• Durable outdoor assemblies: wall housings, decorative elements, door panels.
• Stiffening profiles: durable joining and vibration damping.
• Environmental exposure: resistant to UV, chemicals, salt water and cleaning agents.
• Application tip: for demanding substrates, use the appropriate TESA Adhesion Promoter.

Technical parameters

Storage recommendations

Store in a clean, dry and cool place away from UV and heat sources, in the original packaging. Clean and degrease substrates prior to application; for demanding materials, use an appropriate TESA Adhesion Promoter and perform an adhesion test on the target substrate.

FAQ

1) Is TESA ACXplus 7072 suitable for outdoor use?
Yes. It is designed for durable outdoor bonds and withstands UV, chemicals and salt water.

2) What temperature limits does it have?
120 °C long-term and 220 °C short-term; it is also resistant to thermal shocks down to −40 °C.

3) Do I need an adhesion promoter?
Using a TESA Adhesion Promoter is recommended and significantly improves adhesion depending on the substrate.

4) How does it perform on low-surface-energy plastics (e.g., PP)?
Adhesion is low (about 1 N/cm even after 14 days) — testing and promoter are necessary.

5) Typical applications?
Stiffening profiles, wall housings, decorative elements, door panels.
