Tesa Printer's Friend 4863 PV3 25 mm x 50 m silicone-coated anti-slip cloth roller wrapping tape for printing and textile industry

Tesa Printer's Friend 4863 PV3 25 mm x 50 m is a specialised cloth tape coated with silicone rubber, designed for wrapping rollers in converting and processing lines. Its embossed, non-slip surface is highly resistant to sticky substances while still ensuring reliable traction on smooth substrates. This makes the tape ideal for stabilising web transport on rollers in the printing, textile and adhesive tape industries.

Advantages and unique features

• Specially treated cloth backing with silicone coating – high resistance to tacky substances.
• Embossed surface providing long-lasting anti-slip properties on smooth rollers.
• Tape developed specifically for roller wrapping, in many cases applicable without removing the roller from the machine.
• Improved material handling – reduced slippage and better process control.
• Matt grey finish – neutral appearance without disturbing reflections.
• Natural rubber adhesive – secure bonding to steel and other typical metal surfaces.

Properties and applications

• Roller covering: ideal for creating non-slip surfaces on rollers in printing, textile and other processing machines.
• Printing industry: stabilises the transport of paper, films and other printing substrates on cylinders and transport rollers.
• Textile industry: improves grip of fabrics on rollers in finishing, coating and winding processes.
• Adhesive tape production: used on rollers in coating and slitting lines where resistance to adhesives and anti-slip behaviour are required.
• Roll-based converting processes: universal solution wherever materials run over rollers and controlled traction is needed.
• Easy machine upgrades: in many cases the new roller covering can be applied without removing the roller, reducing downtime.
