Choose tesa Gaffa Tape by backing, width and colour

According to tesa, 53949 PV2 is intended for use on and behind stages, in theatres and cinemas. Uses include covering shiny surfaces with a matt finish, fixing cables temporarily, and covering joints or gaps. The manufacturer also lists position markings. For a specific installation, the surface, fixing period and planned removal must work together. These uses do not automatically establish the suitability of another tesa cloth tape.

The matt surface of tesa 53949 PV2 absorbs light and is intended to prevent distracting reflections. This can matter when shiny surfaces need covering under stage lighting. The visual task is separate from the bonding task: whether the tape adheres to a particular floor, carpet or component and can then be removed suitably depends on the surface and conditions of use. Check these points on the actual material before applying it.

There is no general assurance for every surface. tesa describes 53949 PV2 as easy and quick to remove, but does not claim residue-free removal from every substrate after every fixing period. On delicate coatings, carpets or previously stressed surfaces, removal should be checked on a suitable area. When asking for advice, tell us how long the tape must remain in place and which surface needs to remain unaffected afterwards.

Tell us the intended task, substrate, fixing period and planned removal. The required width, length and processing step also help determine the supplied form. Krückemeyer GmbH offers ready-to-use rolls and strips and assesses a suitable version against the chosen material and your application. Cutting a tape does not automatically change its material properties. That is why material suitability and the desired format need to be considered together.
