Double-sided tape Tesa 56170, 5 m length x 50 mm width, strong adhesive

Tesa double-sided tape 56170 is a 5 m long, 50 mm wide adhesive tape designed for bonding and mounting tasks. The tape features a strong permanent adhesive that creates neat, low-profile joints between a variety of substrates including paper, cardboard, fabrics and many plastics. Its paper-thin profile keeps joints inconspicuous while providing reliable hold for home, office and craft applications. The tape is easy to cut to length and apply to flat, clean surfaces where a discreet, fixed bond is required.

Advantages

The tape combines a wide, uniform carrier with a high-tack adhesive for fast adhesion and long-term durability. Its double-sided construction allows invisible bonding without visible fasteners, and the product’s compatibility with common porous and non-porous materials makes it versatile for many tasks. The roll format and moderate thickness make handling and precise positioning straightforward during installation.

How to use

Ensure surfaces are clean, dry and free from dust, grease or loose particles. Measure and cut the required length of tape, peel away the release liner and press the adhesive side firmly onto the first surface. Remove the remaining liner if present, align the second surface and press both surfaces firmly together to activate the bond. Apply even pressure across the joint and allow time for the adhesive to achieve optimal strength.

Recommendations

For best results, apply at room temperature on smooth, non-porous surfaces; test on a small area before use on delicate or coated materials. Avoid use on heavily textured or damp surfaces and do not expose bonded joints to continuous heavy loads or extreme temperatures.
