Duct Tape Tesa 1717885 Polypropylene (PP) 50 m x 48 mm, pack of 3

Tesa 1717885 is a polypropylene (PP) duct tape supplied as a set of three rolls, each 50 m long and 48 mm wide. Designed for general-purpose tasks, this brown adhesive tape provides a balance of flexibility and strength for sealing, bundling and short-term repairs on surfaces including cardboard, plastic and metal. The product's construction enables easy handling, manual tearability and consistent adhesion for home use and light industrial applications.

Advantages

The polypropylene backing offers tear resistance and conformability around corners and irregular surfaces while remaining lightweight. The adhesive provides reliable tack to a range of materials such as corrugated cardboard, many plastics and coated metals, enabling secure temporary joins and seals. The tape's width and length deliver coverage suitable for multiple tasks per roll, and packaging in a pack of three reduces the need for frequent repurchasing.

Suitable for

• Sealing cardboard boxes and packages
• Bundling cables or lightweight components
• Temporary repairs to plastic, coated metal or fabric surfaces
• Label protection and surface masking for short-term tasks
• Light workshop and DIY applications

When it may not be suitable

This tape is intended for general-purpose and temporary use rather than permanent structural repairs. It may not adhere reliably to very rough, contaminated or porous surfaces such as bare concrete, untreated wood with heavy dust, or oily substrates. For applications that require high-temperature resistance, long-term outdoor exposure or permanent bonding, a specialized tape type or permanent adhesive solution should be considered.

Key specifications

• Material of backing: polypropylene (PP)
• Roll length: 50 m per roll
• Roll width: 48 mm
• Pack quantity: 3 rolls
• Color: brown
• Typical uses: sealing, bundling, temporary repairs

How to use

Clean and dry the surface before application to ensure the best adhesion. Unroll the tape and apply with steady pressure, smoothing from the center outward to remove air pockets. The tape can be torn by hand for quick use; for a neater edge use scissors or a cutter. For heavier loads or critical seals, overlap tape layers or combine with additional fasteners. Store unopened rolls in a cool, dry place to preserve adhesive properties.

What to consider before purchase

• Intended use: temporary and general-purpose sealing rather than permanent structural bonding
• Surface compatibility: performs best on clean, dry, mildly textured surfaces like cardboard and coated metals
• Environmental exposure: not designed for prolonged outdoor exposure or high-temperature environments

Usage recommendations

For reliable results, apply tape at room temperature and press firmly along the length. When sealing parcels, use a single strip across the flap and a second strip perpendicular where extra strength is needed. Replace rolls when adhesive residue becomes weak or contamination is visible.
