Silicone mounting Solutions

Solid silicone is a form of silicone that, as the name suggests, is solid, not liquid or gel. It is relatively hard, but retains some elasticity, making it strong and resistant to stretching.
Here is some key information about solid silicone:

tesa® 88665 MP+ PET is a self-adhesive double sided film tapes equipped with PET backing, tackified adhesive on the one side with siliconized PE coated paper liner and silicone adhesive on the other side with an easy release PET film liner.
The silicone adhesive provides extraordinarily strong adhesion and holding power to silicone material and other LSE substrates, while the acrylic adhesive provides equally strong adhesion and holding power to variety of materials. The well-balanced bonding performance on both side secures the maximum range of the applications
The easy release PET film liner at the silicone side is designed to be able to be removed firstly with lower liner removal force without problems
To complement our tesa 88665 launch we offer 2 more Differential Product thicknesses (50μm & 200μm), from tesa 615xx series

Advantages of tesa® 88665

Silicone bonding without surface treatment
Save investment in surface treatment equipment and expertise
Reduce logistics and storage costs by eliminating primers as hazardous chemicals
Improve health and safety in the workshop by eliminating sleepers.
Reliable bonding performance even in demanding environmental conditions and the ability to handle critical applications along with customer products.

Applications

Medical: Solid silicone is often used in medicine, for example in surgical implants such as breast and joint implants.
Electronics: In technology, it is used as an insulator and protector for electronic components.
Kitchen: Solid silicone baking pans are popular for their heat resistance and ease of use.
Other: In many other applications, such as the manufacture of toys, shoes, accessories and many other everyday items.

Properties

Temperature resistance: Solid silicone is resistant to extreme temperatures, both low and high.
Plasticity: Despite being “solid,” silicone retains a certain level of elasticity, making it resistant to cracking and damage.
Chemical resistance: it is resistant to most chemicals, making it long-lasting in a variety of environments

Production

Solid silicone is made by mixing liquid silicone with a catalyst, which causes it to harden. This process can be adjusted to achieve different levels of flexibility and hardness.

Security

Silicone is considered a generally safe material. However, some forms of silicone, especially those used in medical applications, must meet stringent safety standards.

Bonding silicone can be a challenge, as many traditional adhesives and tapes do not adhere well to its surface. When it comes to a dedicated adhesive tape for silicone, you usually need a specialized product that is designed to adhere well to the silicone surface.
