Applications
Tesa 60950 can be used wherever additional underfoot grip is required, including:
- Stairs and stair treads
- Ramps and inclined surfaces
- Walkways
- Factory floors
- Industrial work areas
- Platforms
- Entrances
- Ladders
- Equipment access areas
- Loading and working areas
- Commercial and facility maintenance areas
- Other slip-prone walking surfaces
For demanding applications involving heavy traffic, irregular surfaces or particularly harsh conditions, a different tesa anti-slip product such as 60954 Heavy Duty or 60955 Conformable may be more appropriate.
Compatible Materials
Tesa 60950 is intended for application to suitable clean, dry, smooth and sufficiently stable surfaces.
Potential substrates include:
- Metal
- Painted metal
- Steel
- Aluminum
- Wood
- Painted wood
- Rigid plastics
- Industrial flooring
- Other smooth, solid substrates
Surface compatibility should be tested before production use, particularly for low-surface-energy plastics, porous materials, rough substrates, contaminated surfaces or coatings with poor adhesion.
For highly irregular or textured surfaces, tesa 60955 Conformable may be a better choice.

Why Choose
Tesa 60950 combines a mineral-coated PVC surface with a strong acrylic adhesive to provide a practical anti-slip solution for general-purpose applications.
Its 900 µm total thickness, 720 µm tape thickness, 5.8 N/cm adhesion to steel and 30 N/cm tensile strength make it suitable for a broad range of industrial and commercial anti-slip applications. It is also hand-tearable and suitable for die-cutting, making it useful for both standard rolls and converted components.
For applications requiring a specific color, tesa’s related Professional anti-slip range includes 60951 black/yellow, 60952 transparent and 60953 fluorescent versions.
Installation Guide
- Clean the surface
Remove dust, dirt, grease, oil and other contaminants from the application surface. - Make sure the surface is dry
Moisture can reduce adhesive contact and long-term performance. - Measure and cut
Cut the tape to the required length or shape. For corners, rounded edges can help reduce lifting. - Position carefully
Align the tape before making full contact with the substrate. - Apply firmly
Press the tape firmly onto the surface, paying particular attention to the edges. - Avoid immediate heavy traffic
Allow sufficient time for the adhesive to establish good contact before subjecting the tape to demanding use. - Inspect the edges
Check that the tape is fully bonded and that there are no lifted corners or exposed areas.
For difficult or unusual substrates, conduct an application test before full-scale installation.
Storage
Store tesa 60950 in its original packaging in a clean, dry environment, protected from excessive heat, moisture, direct sunlight and contamination.
Keep the tape flat and protected from damage before installation. For long-term storage, always follow the latest tesa product information and packaging instructions applicable to the specific production batch.
FAQ
Q1: What is tesa 60950 used for?
tesa 60950 is a black mineral-coated anti-slip tape for improving underfoot grip on stairs, ramps, walkways, factory floors and other suitable surfaces.
Q2: Is tesa 60950 suitable for outdoor use?
Yes. tesa specifies 60950 for both indoor and outdoor applications.
Q3: What is tesa 60950 made of?
It uses a PVC film coated with mineral particles and an acrylic adhesive.
Q4: How thick is tesa 60950?
The current tesa product information specifies 720 µm tape thickness, 180 µm liner thickness and 900 µm total thickness.
Q5: Is tesa 60950 suitable for die-cutting?
Yes. tesa identifies the product as suitable for die-cutting, which makes it suitable for custom shapes and converted anti-slip components.
Q6: Can tesa 60950 be torn by hand?
Yes. The product has good hand tearability according to the manufacturer’s technical information.
Q7: Is tesa 60950 removable?
The current tesa technical data lists the product as not easy to remove. It should therefore be considered a more permanent anti-slip application rather than a temporary tape.
Q8: What is the difference between tesa 60950 and tesa 60954?
60950 is a general-purpose black anti-slip tape with mineral particles, while 60954 Anti-Slip Tape Heavy Duty uses larger mineral particles and is designed for more demanding, heavy-duty applications. The current tesa comparison lists 60954 at 1,365 µm total thickness versus 900 µm for 60950.
Q9: What is the difference between tesa 60950 and tesa 60955?
60950 uses a PVC film backing, while 60955 Conformable uses an aluminum carrier with mineral particles and is designed for irregular and contoured surfaces.
Q10: Can tesa 60950 be customized?
The product is suitable for die-cutting, so custom shapes can be produced depending on the converting process and application requirements.
