Scapa BARNIER® 6097 Blue – Premium PVC Masking Tape for Delicate Surfaces

The Scapa BARNIER® 6097 Blue is a professional premium PVC masking tape for delicate surfaces. Its particular strength lies in extended masking tasks on sensitive substrates such as painted or varnished wood.

The plasticized PVC tape is equipped with a cross-linked, pressure-sensitive rubber adhesive. In contrast to classic, strong-adhesive construction tapes, the BARNIER 6097 is specifically designed for demanding protection and masking tasks where reliable adhesion and the cleanest possible removal are crucial.

According to the manufacturer, the blue BARNIER 6097 is suitable for long-lasting masking of up to 7 days and, when used as intended, leaves no adhesive residue even after a week.

Technical Data

BARNIER 6097 or classic PVC construction tape?

The BARNIER 6097 is the right choice especially when not only strong adhesion is required, but the protection of a delicate surface is paramount. While universal PVC construction tapes are primarily used for robust substrates and general protection or fixing work, the BARNIER 6097 is designed for more delicate surfaces such as varnished and painted wood.

This makes the blue premium masking tape particularly suitable for painters, varnishing specialists, window manufacturers, carpenters, facade constructors, as well as for renovation and finishing work.
