TESA ACXPLUS 73210 double-sided tape transparent 19 mm x 25 m 1000 µm
TESA ACXPLUS 73210 is a high-performance double-sided acrylic foam tape with very good transparency, designed for bonding transparent and semi-transparent materials such as glass, acrylic (PMMA) and polycarbonate (PC).
Its viscoelastic core helps absorb stress, fill gaps, and achieve strong, durable connections even on less than ideal surfaces.
Who is this solution for?
• Production and assembly of transparent elements, where the appearance of the connection is important.
• Maintenance and assembly departments, when durability and repeatability of the process are required.
• Prototype shops and short series, when mechanical fasteners spoil the aesthetics or complicate assembly.
• Transparent marking and nameplates.
• Assembly. transparent decorative panels
• connecting semi-transparent profiles
• applications requiring a virtually invisible bonding line (e.g. displays, household appliances, interior elements)
The most important benefits in practice
• high optical transparency - designed for connecting transparent substrates
• durable bonding strength - resistance to temperature, UV radiation and aging
• compensation for thermal elongation of joined elements
• excellent adhesion to glass and transparent plastics
• immediate adhesion and high final bonding strength
• PFAS/PFOS FREE - produced without perfluorinated substances (manufacturer's declaration)
When this tape makes the most sense
• when the visual effect is key - the most discreet, "clean" connection line on transparent materials
• when the joint works over time - the viscoelastic core helps reduce the impact of stresses and minor irregularities
• when you need a solution for indoor and outdoor applications (according to the manufacturer)
Thickness selection in the ACXPLUS series
• 1000 µm (TESA 73210) - the choice when you want greater "working capacity" of the joint and gap filling
• 500 µm (TESA 73205) - an alternative thickness available in the series (when the design requires a thinner layer)

How to prepare for assembly (the minimum that makes a difference)
1) Make sure the surfaces are clean, dry and free of contamination.
2) Plan your dry run positioning – in transparent applications, alignment and aesthetics are key.
3) In critical applications, perform application-specific testing before full-scale deployment.
Technical values are average and indicative and should not be used for specification purposes. The user is responsible for assessing the suitability of the product for the purpose and the adopted application method.
Is the tape intended for glass and transparent materials?
Yes – the manufacturer indicates that it is intended for transparent or translucent materials, such as glass, acrylic (PMMA) and polycarbonate (PC).
Is it suitable for outdoor applications?
The manufacturer states that TESA 73210 is suitable for both indoor and outdoor applications and is resistant to UV and aging.
What does the thickness of 1000 µm mean in practice?
It is 1.0 mm of the tape layer – the thickness affects the ability to fill gaps and the "performance" of the connection over time.
Why is the adhesion given "after 14 days"?
The manufacturer presents the adhesion values as average data after a specific time (after 14 days) – these are values for illustration purposes only.
Does the tape adhere to ABS, PET, PVC and PS?
Yes – the manufacturer provides adhesion values after 14 days also for these substrates.
What does the information PFAS/PFOS FREE mean?
The manufacturer declares that the product is manufactured without perfluorinated substances.
