Tesa Spacer Tape(roll)

tesa Spacer Tape (the tesa 6005x1 series) is a double-sided, high-density polyurethane (PU) foam tape designed with a unique open-cell structure that allows air and moisture to transport through the tape, permitting optimum silicone curing. Engineered specifically as a spacer element for two-sided and four-sided structural silicone glazing, tesa Spacer Tape plays a specialized role in modern façade and curtain wall construction.

Key Features

tesa Spacer Tape's open-cell PU foam structure is chemically compatible with all major silicone glazing systems, allowing structural silicone sealants to cure properly even though the spacer tape is positioned directly within the glazing joint. The tape offers high compression resistance to ensure a consistent thickness of silicone bead is maintained across the full length of the glazing joint — critical for achieving uniform structural silicone performance. Additionally, tesa Spacer Tape provides low thermal conductivity, helping to minimize heat transfer through the façade and contributing to overall building thermal performance.

Performance Data

tesa Spacer Tape's high-density open-cell foam construction is specifically engineered to balance compression resistance (maintaining consistent silicone bead thickness under glazing pressure) against the permeability needed for proper structural silicone cure. This dual requirement makes spacer tape selection critical in structural glazing design, where both functions must work together for a successful, code-compliant installation.

Applications

tesa Spacer Tape is used as a spacer element in two-sided and four-sided structural silicone glazing systems across commercial and architectural façade construction. It's a specialized product for façade engineers, glazing contractors, and curtain wall manufacturers working with structural silicone glazing systems where consistent bead geometry and proper silicone curing are both essential to long-term joint performance.

Directions for Use

Position tesa Spacer Tape within the glazing joint according to the structural glazing system design specifications, ensuring correct placement to maintain the intended silicone bead thickness. Apply the structural silicone sealant according to the silicone manufacturer's instructions, allowing the open-cell structure of the spacer tape to facilitate proper moisture access for full silicone cure throughout the joint depth.
