tesa® 4590 is a general-purpose unidirectional filament tape based on glass filaments laminated to a polyester film. The tape is used for industrial bundling, palletizing, and fastening applications. tesa® 4590 combines good longitudinal tensile strength with very low elongation. The synthetic rubber adhesive system ensures a secure bond to various substrates, even non-polar surfaces such as PE and PP. tesa® 4590 exhibits very high adhesion and a short wetting time to achieve final adhesion. The tape also exhibits excellent adhesion to a wide variety of corrugated and smooth cardboard surfaces. tesa® 4590 is tear-resistant. Applications • tesa® 4590 is a unidirectional filament tape used for a variety of industrial applications, including: • Bundling and palletizing • Closing heavy cardboard boxes • Transport security • Fastening • Closing reels
