3M 5702 vinyl floor marking tape with yellow and black stripes

      3M 5702 Description

The 3M 5702 is a single-sided adhesive tape made of PVC, with black and yellow stripes, belonging to the 3M vinyl tape range.

This safety tape, whose yellow and black colors indicate a potential danger warning, shares the same properties as the 3M 471 vinyl tape and is mainly used for durable floor marking.

      Key Characteristics

• Mass-colored backing: The vinyl is dyed in the desired color before the adhesive is applied, which means it does not lose its color even when abraded.

• Wear and abrasion resistance

• Resistance to common solvents: It is recommended to avoid ketones, esters, and hydrocarbons.

• Color stability over time

• Excellent conformability

• Stable rubber adhesive: It doesn’t stick on the edges and can be removed cleanly from most surfaces. It offers immediate adhesion, making it suitable for immediate use on various surfaces. Pre-testing is advised on highly plasticized surfaces to prevent adhesive softening.

• High elongation: Ensures the tape does not break during unwinding and application.

• Low shrinkage: Maintains the desired dimensions.

This floor marking tape is also available from TESA under the reference TESA 4169, with black and yellow stripes.

      Applications

The yellow and black floor stripes signal potential danger and are intended to warn people of hazards. For reference, red and white stripes (available in 3M 767) also indicate danger but specifically indicate a restricted area, not just a warning.

You can use this tape for various applications in public places, hospitals, factories, warehouses, etc., such as:

• Marking pathways or aisles
• Marking steps or stair edges. Anti-slip adhesives like ADEZIF AD034 (yellow and black) can also be applied.
• Marking door outlines or garage spaces
• Enhancing equipment visibility

      Application Tips

• The application is easier when using accessories like the ergonomic and user-friendly M1 handheld dispenser. It can also be applied manually.
• It’s recommended to clean the surface before application to avoid dust, dirt, or grease, which could hinder the tape's adhesion.

      Specific COVID-19 Application

In the current context of COVID-19 safety measures, its primary use is for marking 1-meter social distancing zones.

This measure ensures safety while maintaining business activities and other public spaces.

The 1-meter social distancing is clearly marked, allowing customers to maintain proper spacing, thus preventing the virus's spread. This COVID-19 floor marking is crucial for reminding people about safety distances.

We can cut the tape into pre-defined strips to make application easier. Feel free to contact us.
