tesa Professional 53949 Gaffer Tape, Matte, 50 m x 50 mm

The tesa Professional 53949 gaffer tape is a matte, light-absorbing PE woven tape designed for professional applications in events, stage production, and technical setups.

Description

The tesa® 53949 PV2 Gaffer Tape is a high-quality, matte PE-coated woven tape designed for demanding applications where reflections must be avoided at all costs. It consists of a robust 80-mesh PET/cotton weave with a high-performance natural rubber adhesive. The tape adheres reliably even to rough surfaces, is light-absorbing (non-reflective), water-repellent, and weather-resistant. At the same time, it can be easily torn by hand, applied cleanly, and removed just as easily—ideal for temporary fastening in events, theater, and studio settings. Thanks to its matte finish in black, white, and silver, this fabric tape is perfect for on-stage and backstage applications, marking, and covering shiny surfaces.
