First aid details:

After contact with eyes: Do not rub eyes, as additional cornea damage is possible by mechanical stress. Remove any contact lenses and open the eyelid(s) widely to flush eye(s) immediately by thoroughly rinsing with plenty of clean water for at least 15 minutes. If possible, use isotonic water (0.9% NaCl). Contact a specialist in occupational medicine or an eye specialist.

After skin contact: Wash skin thoroughly with soap and water as soon as reasonably practicable.

Carpet jointing tape, also known as seaming tape, is a crucial tool in both carpet installation and maintenance. It serves the primary purpose of securely joining pieces of carpet, ensuring that seams remain tight and preventing the carpet from shifting over time. This is crucial not only for maintaining an aesthetically pleasing appearance but also for reducing the risk of movement that can lead to filtration, where dirt and debris settle into gaps, and potential trip hazards.

In addition to joining carpets, this versatile tape is also invaluable for repairing rips and tears in existing carpets. The tape bonds effectively to the carpet backing, creating a strong and durable seal that restores the carpet's integrity and prolongs its lifespan. Available in various widths and adhesive strengths, carpet jointing tape is suitable for both residential and commercial applications, making it a versatile solution for any carpet-related project.
