tesa Professional 51960 Professional Installation Tape, removable, white-translucent

The double-sided adhesive tesa® 51960 Professional Installation Tape securely and permanently fixes carpet and PVC/CV flooring to a wide variety of substrates, leaving virtually no residue.

Description

With the double-sided tesa® 51960 installation tape, carpet and resilient flooring can be securely, reliably, and professionally installed on almost any substrate. The tesafix® 51960 Professional Installation Tape consists of a PP film-fabric composite backing with a modified acrylate adhesive. The practical, differentiated adhesive strength—stronger toward the carpet, weaker toward the substrate—ensures a permanently strong hold for the flooring while also allowing for largely residue-free removal from the substrate, even after up to 5 years. The tape is largely resistant to aging and plasticizers and does not cause discoloration on PVC/CV flooring. The side with the stronger adhesive is covered with white release paper and can be torn off by hand, enabling quick and clean installation.
