Versatile construction tape for professional masking work

The BARNIER 6096 is designed for numerous tasks in construction and renovation. Typical applications include masking and protecting surfaces, fixing tarpaulins and protective films, and general repair and sealing work.

Especially under typical construction site conditions, the tape demonstrates its strengths: The aggressive rubber adhesive ensures reliable hold even on less ideally prepared surfaces, while the flexible PVC backing can easily follow unevenness.

For short-term masking work, the BARNIER 6096 can be used on concrete, plaster, and plastic, among other materials. According to the technical data sheet, it is intended for such applications for a short period of less than three days.
