tesa Professional 51960 Professional Installation Tape, removable, white-translucent, 25 m x 50 mm

The double-sided adhesive tesa® 51960 Professional Installation Tape enables secure, reliable, and professional installation of carpet and PVC/CV flooring on virtually all subfloors.

Description

The tesafix® 51960 Professional Installation Tape from tesa is a double-sided adhesive installation tape designed for professional flooring installation. It consists of a PP film-fabric composite backing with a modified acrylate adhesive and offers practical, differentiated adhesion: strong toward the carpet, weaker toward the subfloor. This ensures a secure hold for the flooring while allowing for largely residue-free removal from the subfloor for up to 5 years. The tape is highly resistant to aging and plasticizers and does not cause discoloration of PVC or CV flooring. The side with the stronger adhesive is covered with white release paper and can be torn off by hand, making it particularly convenient to use on construction sites.
