Masking tape Tesa 05089-00000-02 — general-purpose paper tape, 50 m × 50 mm, yellow

Tesa 05089-00000-02 is a general-purpose paper masking tape in yellow, 50 m long and 50 mm wide. The tape is made from crepe paper backing with an adhesive designed for temporary fixing and protection. It is suitable for paint masking, surface protection and light bundling on a range of indoor and outdoor surfaces and is intended for tasks that require clean removal without leaving significant adhesive residue when used under recommended conditions.

Advantages

The paper construction ensures conformability to irregular surfaces and edges while the adhesive balances initial tack with easy removability. Its 50 mm width provides broad coverage for masking tasks, and the 50 m length gives extended runtime per roll for larger jobs. The yellow colour improves visibility on work sites and helps distinguish masked areas from exposed surfaces.

Suitable for

• Paint masking for walls, trim and doors
• Surface protection during light renovation and decorating
• Temporary bundling or holding of materials and components
• Masking for spraying and brushing where clean removal is required

How to use

Ensure the surface is clean, dry and free of dust or loose particles before application. Unwind the required length of tape and press the adhesive firmly onto the surface, smoothing out any air pockets for a secure seal. For paint masking, align the tape along the edge you want to protect and press down firmly to create a clean paint line. Remove the tape by pulling back slowly at a low angle, preferably within the recommended time for temporary tapes to minimize adhesive residue.

Usage recommendations

Use at moderate temperatures and avoid prolonged exposure to direct sunlight or extreme heat for long-term applications. Test on an inconspicuous area if using on delicate or freshly painted surfaces to confirm clean removal. Store rolls in a dry place away from direct heat to preserve adhesive performance.
