LongLife® - Tapes for delimitation with ESD symbology

To mark out and identify ESD protected areas (EPA): the ESD symbol and the words “ESD Protected Area” make the boundary recognisable to everyone. It helps define safe routes and work zones in Lean, 5S and EPA projects.

LongLife tape with ESD symbols is used to identify the area: ORGATEX does not state electrical resistance values for it. For a marking with ESD protection on adhesive and surface there is the ESD Floor Marking Tape, in vinyl with PET laminate (surface resistance < 1 × 10¹⁰ Ω, resistance to ground < 1 × 10⁹ Ω), in 7 colours and widths from 50 to 100 mm.

50 or 75 mm wide, 50 m roll in a cardboard dispenser.

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. According to ORGATEX, LongLife markings can be removed without residue using LongLife Remover. Markings are lifted with the LongLife scraper, 1200 mm long so you can work standing up, with a 125 mm blade and 3 spare blades; adhesive residue is dissolved with the Remover. On delicate floors test it in a hidden spot first.

Adhesive marking has no drying time: tapes and symbols are applied without chalk lines or special equipment and the area can be used straight away (the adhesive bonds fully in about 12 hours). When the layout changes it is removed without residue with LongLife Remover, and colours stay standard and consistent in repeat orders. Choose the line by traffic and floor: if in doubt, we will recommend it.

Yes: LongLife tapes and symbols are stated to be resistant to abrasion and washing; for the symbols machine washing is explicitly declared too. After application it is best to wait the roughly 12 hours the adhesive needs to bond before the first machine wash.

Yes, on request. ORGATEX makes LongLife Individuell tape in 50, 75 or 100 mm with custom colours, symbols or QR codes, and custom shapes in any form, size, colour and material: also with anti-slip surfaces, adhesives for rough floors or photoluminescent materials. Send us the drawing and quantities: we will prepare a quote with delivery times.

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.

Yes, with the right products. For aisles, loading areas and walkways on asphalt or concrete there is LongLife Outdoor (codes LGOD50, LGOD75 and LGOD100, white -02 or yellow -04): 2.8 mm polyurethane, reflective and anti-slip even when wet, for pedestrians, pallet trucks and forklifts. 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.

You can use pre-cut pieces – 45° and 90° corners (Standard), T and L pieces (Standard, Vector™, Heavy Duty, Cold Performance), crosses (Standard and Vector™ Rounded) – or cut the tape with the stainless steel LongLife cutting template, which guides 90° and 45° cuts on 50, 75 and 100 mm widths. For 10 pallet locations there is the marking kit (L corners, straight pieces and A4 screens); on uneven floors or outdoors, LongLife Modul L corners fixed with anchors. ORGATEX recommends not overlapping markings.

The price depends on width and quantity: request a quote and we will send you a tailored proposal, also for recurring supplies.
