Refrigerators and freezers have evolved beyond being essential devices for preserving food and drinks in homes. Today, consumers demand innovative designs and cutting-edge features, placing greater challenges in production.

tense®, a leader in adhesive solutions, responds to these demands with a broad portfolio that improves efficiency and quality in the steps of the production process.

Adhesion of coils with tesa® Aluminum Foil Tapes

To achieve the highest temperature transfer rate, tesa® aluminum foil tapes are ideal for adhering tubes to the polystyrene (PS) body in the closest and tightest way. They stand out for their resistance to adhesion to metal and PS, and are easy to unroll. Available with or without liner, these flexible tapes offer versatile solutions.

Evaporator assembly with tesa® non-woven tapes

In the evaporator assembly, tesa® non-woven tapes ensure complete adhesion to the evaporator plate and the PS body, preventing migration of the polyurethane (PU) foam after injection. Its high adhesion on metal and polystyrene, together with the ease of lifting the liner, simplifies the production process.

Assembly of emblems with tesa® film tapes:

tesa® double-sided film tapes allow the mounting of emblems without drilling metal or plastic substrates, thanks to their double-sided capability. They stand out for their high adhesion to various materials, resistance to aging, extreme temperatures, humidity and shocks.

Fixing small parts with tesa® film tapes:

At the point in the process where many small plastic or metal parts have to be mounted on the PS body, tesa® double-sided film tapes offer efficient solutions due to their double-sided capability. In this way, the manipulation and positioning of these pieces becomes easier.

Decorative glass assembly with tesa ACXplus and foam tapes:

tesa ACXplus and foam tapes allow the assembly of decorative glass panels without the need for screws, without curing time and without the risk of dripping, compared to glue systems. With high adhesion on glass, aluminum and steel, these tapes offer cushioning properties and are available in various colors.
