Product Information

Self-welding silicon tape for an instant hermetic seal

tesa® 4600 is a self-welding silicon tape that is glued onto its own base. The flexible material fits tightly to various surfaces,

thus providing an instant hermetic seal. The self-welding repair tape can be used both indoors and outdoors and also

achieves reliable results on oily, dirty or wet surfaces. Even the application under water is possible. The silicon base

ensures that the robust tape provides a high resistance to various chemicals, oils, acids, solvents, salt water, UV exposure

and high temperatures (from -65° C to +260° C). The silicon tape can also be used for temporary bonds and can be

removed at any time without problems. tesa® 4600 is a true jack of all trades and is used by professional craftsmen for

many kinds of tasks, e.g. insulating cables or for short-term repairs of water pipes.
