Applications
- Factory floors
- Industrial floors
- Stairs and stair treads
- Steps
- Ladders
- Ramps
- Inclined walkways
- Platforms
- Machine platforms
- Industrial equipment
- Loading areas
- Warehouse walkways
- Maintenance access areas
- Work platforms

Why Choose
Tesa 60951 combines three important functions in one product: anti-slip traction, durable adhesion and visual hazard marking.
Compared with a plain black anti-slip tape, the black/yellow pattern makes potentially slippery areas easier to identify. This makes 60951 particularly suitable for factory floors, stairs, ramps, platforms and industrial access areas where both footing and visual warning are important.
The PVC/mineral-particle construction provides abrasion resistance, while the acrylic adhesive offers strong adhesion to suitable substrates. tesa also specifies good chemical resistance, very good humidity resistance and suitability for die cutting.
Installation Guide
1. Prepare the surface
Clean the substrate thoroughly and remove dust, oil, grease, moisture and other contaminants.
2. Dry the surface
Make sure the application surface is completely dry before installation.
3. Measure and cut
Measure the required area and cut the tape to the desired length. The tape can also be die-cut for custom shapes.
4. Round the corners
For individual pieces, rounded corners can help reduce edge lifting during service.
5. Position the tape
Peel away part of the release liner and position the tape carefully.
6. Apply gradually
Remove the remaining liner while pressing the tape firmly onto the substrate.
7. Apply pressure
Use a suitable hand roller or firm pressure to ensure intimate contact between the adhesive and substrate.
8. Inspect the edges
Make sure the entire tape is securely bonded, particularly around corners and edges.
9. Allow bonding time
Avoid unnecessary heavy traffic immediately after installation whenever possible.
Storage
- Store in the original packaging.
- Keep the product clean and dry.
- Protect from direct sunlight.
- Avoid excessive heat and humidity.
- Keep away from contamination, oil and chemicals.
- Store under suitable indoor conditions.
- Follow the latest tesa technical documentation for specific storage and shelf-life requirements.
