LongLife Cloth Tape

For temporary markings, barriers, repairs and organisational markings that must be done straight away, but also for bundling and securing. It is a dense, fine-thread, waterproof fabric that is quick to work with and conforms well.

They indicate the direction of the diagonal stripes: in the left version they point left, in the right version they point right. This lets you choose how the marking is oriented.

Both are designed for temporary use. Low Duty is a 0.16 mm soft PVC floor tape for pedestrian and pallet truck routes, in 33 m rolls, 50 or 75 mm wide. The cloth tape is also used for bundling and securing, adheres to metal, plastic and coated surfaces and comes in 50 m rolls, 50, 75 or 100 mm wide, in 10 colours.

In Italy, Legislative Decree 81/08 (Annex XXVIII) requires that, where the use of the premises makes it necessary, vehicle traffic routes are marked with continuous lines in a clearly visible colour, preferably white or yellow depending on the floor, and that obstacles and danger points are marked with yellow/black or red/white bands angled at about 45°. Signs follow Annex XXIV: red for prohibitions, yellow for warnings, blue for mandatory actions, green for escape and first aid. Other colours (for example blue for raw materials, green for finished goods, red for scrap) are not set by law: they are an internal code to define and apply consistently.

Thickness, material and adhesive differ, and so does the traffic they withstand. Low Duty (0.16 mm) is for pedestrians and pallet trucks and for temporary markings. Standard, Eco, Grip, Rough Ground, Cold Performance and the LongLife ESD tape («ESD Protected Area») also withstand forklifts: choose by floor (smooth, rough, cold store, EPA) and requirements (recycled material, slip resistance). Heavy Duty (1.3 mm) is the only line for heavy forklifts, Vector™ the only one that resists forklifts turning on the spot. Outdoor (2.8 mm) is for outdoor use, up to forklifts. The fabric tape is for temporary marking. For the vinyl + PET ESD tape, with ESD protection on adhesive and surface, ORGATEX does not state the permitted traffic.

The floor must be even, clean and free of dust, oil and grease. First clean thoroughly, then degrease the application strip with LongLife Cleaner. Remove old markings with the scraper and adhesive residue with LongLife Remover. On critical surfaces, such as porous or dusty concrete, LongLife Primer increases adhesion; outdoors it is always required.

Yes. Send us a floor plan or a few photos of the areas to be marked or made safe and tell us how they are used (traffic, vehicles, floor, stairs, exits): we will recommend the right products, with colours, formats and quantities. For larger sites or special situations we can consider a site visit on request.

Standard, Eco, Vector™ and Heavy Duty are for smooth indoor industrial floors: concrete and epoxy resin, Standard and Eco also stone and metal. Cold Performance is for concrete, screed and metal. Rough Ground is made for rough or textured floors: raw concrete, paving blocks, anti-slip MMA coatings, tiles. Grip suits smooth and textured floors, Low Duty screeds, MMA coatings and smooth tiles. The fabric tape adheres to clean surfaces such as metal, plastic or coated surfaces. Outdoors, Outdoor goes on asphalt, concrete and paved surfaces, also rough or uneven; LongLife Modul L corners are fixed with anchors on concrete, asphalt or paving blocks, even uneven or oily ones.

Yes, with the right products.

For outdoor locations there are LongLife Modul L corners (LGMOD-L), fixed with anchors. Low Duty also suits sheltered outdoor areas and the fabric tape temporary marking; the other lines are for indoor use. Outdoors LongLife Primer is always required and edge sealing protects against moisture.
