FAQs

What are the dimensions of the tape roll?

The roll measures 33 meters in length and 50mm in width.

Is this tape suitable for outdoor use?

While it can be used outdoors temporarily, it is primarily designed for workplace identification. Prolonged exposure to elements like rain and direct sunlight may reduce its effectiveness and lifespan. For permanent outdoor safety marking, a more weather-resistant tape may be necessary.

How do I remove the tape without damaging the surface?

To minimize residue and potential surface damage, gently warm the tape with a hairdryer before peeling it off slowly at a low angle. Any remaining adhesive can often be removed with a mild solvent or adhesive remover.

Can this tape be applied over painted surfaces?

Yes, it can be applied to painted surfaces. However, it is recommended to test on a small, hidden area first, especially if the paint is fresh or delicate, as strong adhesives can potentially pull off paint upon removal.

What makes the black and yellow stripes effective?

The high-contrast black and yellow diagonal stripes are a universally recognized visual warning signal, commonly associated with hazards, caution, and potential danger, making them highly effective for quick risk identification.

Is the tape resistant to chemicals?

The tape is designed to be durable against general workplace wear and tear. However, it is not specifically rated for resistance to strong industrial chemicals or solvents. Exposure to such substances may degrade the tape and adhesive.

Troubleshooting

Tape is not sticking well.

Ensure the surface is clean, dry, and free of dust or grease. For colder temperatures, warm the tape and surface before application. Apply firm, even pressure during application.

Tape is lifting at the edges.

Press down firmly on the edges to re-adhere. If the adhesive is compromised, consider replacing the section or using a compatible adhesive enhancer (test first).

Residue is left after removal.

Gently warm the residue with a hairdryer and then use a mild solvent (like isopropyl alcohol) or an adhesive remover on a cloth to carefully wipe it away. Test the solvent on an inconspicuous area first.

Colors are fading.

This tape is designed for indoor or temporary outdoor use. Prolonged exposure to direct sunlight may cause fading. For permanent outdoor applications, consider a UV-resistant alternative.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup:

  1. Ensure the surface where the tape will be applied is clean, dry, and free from dust, oil, or grease.
  2. Measure and cut the desired length of tape.
  3. Carefully peel back the adhesive backing.
  4. Apply the tape firmly, pressing down from the center outwards to eliminate air bubbles.

Compatibility:

This tape is compatible with most common workplace surfaces including concrete, tile, linoleum, metal, and painted walls. For best results, test on a small, inconspicuous area first if applying to delicate or newly painted surfaces.

Care:

To maintain the tape's visibility and adhesion:

  • Regularly inspect for signs of wear or peeling, especially in high-traffic areas.
  • Clean the surface around the tape with a damp cloth; avoid harsh chemicals that could degrade the adhesive or tape material.
  • If the tape becomes loose, ensure the surface is clean before re-applying pressure.
