• Characterization of silicone coatings.

• tesa® 7475 and 7476 has been successfully deployed for many years when it comes to assessing the release properties of silicone coatings (Finat 10 or similar) and testing the curing of silicone coatings (FINAT 11 or similar)..

• For a comprehensive characterization of release properties it is recommended to use both tesa® 7475 (acrylic adhesive) and tesa® 7476 (natural rubber adhesive).

• It is recommended to store tesa® 7475 and 7476 at 23 °C and 50 % relative humidity.

• Compared to most other PP waterbased acrylic tapes tesa® 4204 PV 5 has an improved adhesive anchorage, which reduces the risk of adhesive residues after removal.
