tesa Platinum Partner · Adhesive tape converting in Shenzhen

Market pages for Vietnam, Thailand, Malaysia, Indonesia, the Philippines and Singapore

One page per market: the industries that buy tape there, the humidity problem every tropical market creates, the port and lead-time reality, and how buyers qualify a converter.

The same tape behaves differently in Bangkok and in Shenzhen, so the site now carries a page for each of the six markets we ship to. Each one covers the demand we see, the environmental conditions that change the answer, the logistics route and the documents a buyer needs.

What each page covers

  • The industries that actually buy converting work there: electronics and EMS, automotive and wire harness, solar and new energy, construction, packaging.
  • The tropical condition problem: sustained humidity and heat drive adhesive creep, so we state the hold test we run rather than quoting a room-temperature peel value.
  • Logistics from Shenzhen: the ports, the typical transit window and the shipping terms we quote on.
  • Qualification practice: which documents a buyer asks for first and what we can issue per grade.

Why this matters for a tape buyer

Most tape failures in the region are not adhesion failures at 23 °C; they are creep and liner-release failures after weeks at 60 °C and 95% relative humidity. A market page lets us give the same answer once instead of re-explaining it in every quotation.

Not a comparison of economies, but the practical variables that change a quotation between these six destinations.

Why humidity gets its own section on every page

A room-temperature peel value tells you very little about a joint that will spend weeks hot and damp. Sustained humidity and heat drive adhesive creep, and they change liner release enough that a part which lifts cleanly in a dry lab can tear on a hot floor.

  • We state the hold test we run rather than quoting a 23 °C number as though it were the answer
  • Heat-aged and humidity-aged data are requested per grade, because families differ internally more than their names suggest
  • The trial plan includes an aging interval, since a comparison made on day one cannot see the drift
  • Substrate preparation is written down, because humidity changes what a surface looks like after cleaning
  • Where a construction is chosen for the climate, the page says what it gives up to get there
FAQ

Market page questions

Are the market pages about where we ship or where you make?
Both, and they are different conversations. A page covers the destination, its ports and clearance practice; if your factory sits elsewhere in the region, tell us and the delivery plan changes with it.
Do you have an office in these markets?
We operate from Shenzhen, with branch operations in Xiamen and Fuzhou and a subsidiary in Hefei. Regional support is arranged through the Shenzhen team, and English documentation travels with the shipment.
Can you compare freight options for my port?
Yes. Sea, air, courier and ex-works can be quoted side by side when a decision depends on the comparison, with the Incoterm and currency stated on each line.
What is the first thing to send for a market enquiry?
The part or material, the destination, the industry and the document set your qualification needs. That is enough to answer with something real rather than a general catalogue.
