This 3 mil, self-adhering polyethylene film is ideal for protecting carpeting during repair work or high traffic times. Packaged adhesive side out so that a smooth strip can be laid as fast as you can place the roll on the carpet, push it, and walk to the end of the carpet area to be covered. Stays where you put it and is highly resistant to tearing and scuffing, as well as slip-resistant. Easily removed, leaving no residue. (Applied film should not remain on carpet surface for more than 30 days). Do not apply on new carpet (adhesive applied) until 48 hours.
