tesa 4863 Printer's Friend Tape is a dimpled, siliconized fabric roller wrap that protects web rollers from the buildup of adhesives, inks, and coatings. The embossed silicone surface grips smooth rollers while repelling sticky substances, helping production lines run cleaner and longer between changeovers.
Wrap it around idler, feed, and take-up rollers in tape manufacturing, converting, printing, textile, and paper or film operations. The tape resists wear and high process heat and removes cleanly without leaving residue, even after extended runs.
- Embossed silicone surface repels adhesives, inks, and coatings
- Dimpled texture grips smooth rollers to reduce slippage
- Reduces material buildup on idler, feed, and take-up rollers
- Resists wear and high process temperatures
- Removes cleanly with no residue to cut roller cleanup time
Country of Origin: Germany.
Application Instructions - Clean the roller surface so it is free of old adhesive, ink, and debris.
- Cut a length of tape to match the roller circumference plus a small overlap.
- Start at one edge and wrap with the dimpled silicone side facing out, keeping the tape smooth and even.
- Press firmly along the seam so the natural rubber adhesive bonds to the roller.
- To change the tape, peel it off and apply a fresh wrap; the residue-free adhesive keeps cleanup to a minimum.
The color name grey can also be spelled as gray.
