tesa 4985 tape Benefits

• Carrier-free construction lets the adhesive conform to light texture and curved surfaces.
• Clear 2 mil adhesive layer keeps the bond line discreet on photos, posters, and display work.
• Fast initial tack helps parts stay placed during hand assembly.
• Modified acrylic adhesive supports paper, fabric, and general mounting applications.
• Good dispensing behavior helps production teams apply repeat strips with less handling waste.

Use this tape when a double-sided foam tape is too thick and a liquid adhesive would slow the job. tesa 4985 tape works best where the part should stay flat, clean, and bonded without adding a visible carrier layer.

Where tesa 4985 tape Fits

• Mounting posters, photos, graphics, and light display materials.
• Mounting fabric samples into pattern books or presentation binders.
• Splicing paper webs or sheets in light production work.
• Applying clear adhesive to uneven surfaces where quick grab matters.
• General shop mounting where a thin transfer adhesive is preferred.

Surface Preparation and Use

Apply to clean, dry surfaces that are free of dust, oil, and loose fibers. Press the tape down firmly before removing the liner so the adhesive wets the surface. On porous paper or fabric, test first so the adhesive does not bleed through or distort the visible face.

Transfer tapes do not allow much repositioning once pressure is applied. Lay out alignment marks, then place the part with steady pressure across the full bond area.
