Desco 81228 Adhesive Transfer Tape

Product Description

The DESCO 81228 is an adhesive transfer tape designed for bonding, splicing, and mounting applications in trade and industrial environments. Adhesive transfer tape consists of a pressure-sensitive adhesive layer without a carrier film, allowing it to conform to irregular surfaces and deliver a thin, clean bond line. This type of tape is commonly used by electricians, HVAC technicians, and assembly professionals when a low-profile, permanent adhesive solution is required. The 81228 ships in single-unit packaging, making it suitable for targeted repairs or small-volume applications.

Adhesive transfer tape finds use across a range of trade applications including wire harnessing, panel assembly, gasket bonding, and the mounting of lightweight components. It is appropriate for both residential and light commercial service work where a clean, residue-controlled adhesive bond is needed without the bulk of foam tape or mechanical fasteners. Technicians working in electrical, HVAC, or general mechanical assembly environments will find this format practical for precise placement.

Key Features

• Carrier-free adhesive transfer format for thin, conformable bond lines
• Pressure-sensitive adhesive activates on contact without heat or solvents
• Single-unit packaging supports targeted repairs and low-volume use
• Suitable for bonding, splicing, and lightweight component mounting

Compatibility

Designed as a general-purpose adhesive transfer tape suitable for bonding and splicing tasks in electrical, HVAC, and light industrial assembly applications.

Installation Notes

Surface preparation is critical for adhesive transfer tape — clean the bonding surface of oils, dust, and moisture before application. Apply firm, even pressure across the tape length to ensure full adhesive contact. Electricians and HVAC technicians should follow applicable NEC or equipment manufacturer guidelines when using adhesive materials near energized components. Power down or de-energize equipment before applying tape in proximity to electrical connections.
