Unlike most Tunnel Tapes that have a thin film of PE introduced to “deaden” the adhesive, the zone coating method ensures that the outside edges are firm and so there is no gapping making the product easy to apply and ensuring excellent shelf life

Benefits
An uncoated central section that covers the cable allowing it to move under the tape.

This has a range of significant benefits:
a) The cable can move and so reduces the chance of the tape lifting if cable kicked
b) The cable has no adhesive residue on it when it is lifted
c) Lifts and strips more readily
d) Cable can be pulled through and so adjusted even after laying
e) Prolongs cable life and prevents residue build-up
Very low reflectivity due to its smooth matt surface providing an aesthetic finish
Excellent clean-remove characteristics from most surfaces Easily hand torn for easy use
High coat weight of adhesive to conform with complex surfaces and wet-out easily
The matte finish means it is less prone than gloss tapes for grabbing on synthetic soles of shoes, so less of a trip hazard
Compatible for use on vinyl floors
Re-cyclable since made from PE resins
