Selection criteria
What needs marking, and for how long?
Start with the location: an obstacle, edge, movable object or demarcated area. For temporary markings, tesa 60760 is described mainly for indoor use; tesa 4169 is described for permanent markings and outdoor use. Check the colour, surface condition, wear and planned removal for the specific tape before choosing a version.

CHOOSING YOUR MARKING TAPE
Match the warning pattern, adhesion and wear
Warning tape and floor marking tape can overlap: depending on the colour, tesa 4169 is used for floor marking or as warning tape. Striped tape draws attention to the marked area; plain-colour tape can also guide lines and define zones. The black and white stripes of 3M 5700 are described for traffic areas and physical hazards. tesa 60760 is intended for temporary hazard markings and for marking movable or stationary objects, mainly indoors. tesa 4169 is described for permanent markings and outdoor use. These statements apply to the products named, not to every tape in the range.
To select a tape, tell us the substrate, location, pattern, required service life and mechanical wear. If you need cut lengths or a particular width, we can assess the suitable version and processing with you. Suitability for your application and later removal must be checked on the selected product and substrate.

QUESTIONS ABOUT WARNING TAPE
What is warning tape used for?
Warning tape is used to mark hazard areas, obstacles, edges or traffic areas, provided the selected product suits the substrate and expected wear. 3M 5700 and 5702 are described for traffic areas and physical hazards. tesa 60760 is described for temporary hazard marking and for marking movable or stationary objects. A warning pattern does not replace checking the marking requirements at the actual site.
How do warning tape and floor marking tape differ?
Warning tape uses a conspicuous pattern to draw attention to a hazard. Floor marking tape defines routes, areas or parking spaces; depending on its colour, it can also serve as warning tape. tesa explicitly describes both uses for 4169. The marking task and product properties therefore matter more than the category name alone. For plain floor lines, see the separate floor marking tape page.
Which warning tape suits a temporary marking?
For temporary hazard marking, tesa names its soft PVC tape 60760, mainly for indoor use and for movable or stationary objects. This does not establish that it can always be removed without residue. Check the substrate, intended application period and removal process. If the surface or wear differs from the usual application, test suitability on the actual component before use.
When is warning tape suitable for permanent marking?
tesa describes 4169, with a soft PVC backing and acrylic adhesive, for permanent, demanding markings and outdoor use. Depending on its colour, it is used as floor marking tape or warning tape. 3M 5700 and 5702 are also described for marking traffic areas and physical hazards. The right choice depends on the surface, mechanical wear and environment; these descriptions do not guarantee a particular service life.
