Mounting tape Staples TESA Powerbond OUTDOOR 1.5 m, 19 mm, black

tesa Powerbond OUTDOOR mounting tape by Staples is a double-sided, weather-resistant adhesive strip in black, 1.5 m long and 19 mm wide. It is designed for exterior fixing of lightweight items such as house numbers, trims, signs and small decorative elements on solid surfaces including tiles, brick, stone, metal and many plastics. The tape is easy to apply with no special tools required—only scissors to cut to length.

Advantages

The tape offers permanent, strong adhesion suitable for outdoor conditions thanks to UV, water and temperature resistance. Under optimal conditions a 10 cm length of tape can support up to 1 kg, enabling secure mounting of small items without drilling. Its black colour makes it discreet on dark surfaces while compatibility with a variety of solid materials increases versatility.

Suitable for

• Fixing house numbers and nameplates to exterior walls
• Mounting lightweight trims and mouldings on outdoors surfaces
• Attaching small signs, hooks or decorative items to tiles, brick, stone and metal
• Temporary or permanent mounting where drilling is undesirable

When it may not be suitable

The tape is intended for light-duty outdoor mounting; it is not designed to support heavy loads or replace mechanical fasteners for structural applications. Surfaces must be solid, clean and dry—porous, dusty or uneven substrates can reduce adhesion and long-term performance.

Key specifications

• Length: 1.5 m
• Width: 19 mm
• Colour: black
• Double-sided adhesive formulated for outdoor use
• Resistant to UV, water and varying temperatures
• Approximate holding capacity: up to 1 kg per 10 cm strip under optimal conditions

How to use

Cut the required length with scissors and ensure both the surface and the tape backing are dry and free of dust, grease or loose particles. Remove one protective liner and press the tape firmly onto the item to be mounted, then remove the second liner and press the item firmly onto the target surface for several seconds to ensure full contact. For best results, apply at moderate temperatures and avoid loading the adhesive immediately—allow full adhesion time as recommended by general outdoor tapes before placing weight.

What to consider before purchase

• Intended load: suitable for light items—check approximate holding capacity per 10 cm
• Surface type: works best on solid, non-porous and clean surfaces like tile, metal, stone and many plastics
• Exposure: product is UV-, water- and temperature-resistant but extreme conditions may affect longevity

Usage recommendations

For reliable outdoor mounting, clean and dry surfaces thoroughly and press firmly when applying. Test adhesion with a small piece in an inconspicuous area if surface compatibility is uncertain, and avoid using the tape for heavy or safety-critical attachments.
