tesa Professional 51960 Professional Installation Tape, removable, white-translucent, 25 m x 50 mm, Item No. 51960-00002-00

Professional installation tape for carpet and PVC flooring with strong adhesion and virtually residue-free removal from the subfloor.

Description

tesafix® 51960 Professional Installation Tape is the professional solution for the secure and virtually residue-free installation of carpet and PVC/CV flooring. The PP film-fabric composite backing with a modified acrylate adhesive provides practical, differentiated adhesion: strong to the carpet, weaker to the subfloor. This ensures the flooring remains securely fixed but can be removed from the subfloor with minimal residue. The tape is highly resistant to aging and plasticizers and prevents discoloration on PVC/CV floors. The side with the stronger adhesive is covered with white release paper, making application particularly convenient. Thanks to its high resistance to chemicals and moisture, as well as temperature resistance up to 60 °C (120 °C for short periods), tesafix® 51960 is ideal for professional use with a service life of up to 5 years.
