PSA4000B is a 25 metre continuous roll of 20mm self adhesive hook and loop tape, supplied in individual rolls of hook or loop in both black and white. Our stock adhesive is rubber-based, but acrylic adhesive can be made available on request, as can other colours.
Easy to Apply
This peel-and-stick hook and loop tape is designed to be as simple as possible to use. Peel the release paper away from the adhesive backing and press firmly into place — no sewing, no tools, and no mess. The rubber-based pressure sensitive adhesive bonds on contact to smooth, clean surfaces and reaches full strength after 24 hours.

At 20mm wide, this is the narrowest tape in our self adhesive roll range. It’s specifically suited to lightweight fastening tasks where a slim, discreet tape is preferred over a wider strip — either because the mounting surface is narrow, the item being fastened is small, or a low-profile finish is important.
What Is 20mm Hook & Loop Tape Best For?
The 20mm width is our most popular choice for everyday domestic and light commercial fastening. Its slim profile makes it ideal for jobs where wider tapes would look bulky or wouldn’t fit the available surface.
Around the home:
- Mounting remote controls — attach strips to the side of a TV, coffee table, or wall to keep remotes within reach and prevent them going missing.
- Hanging lightweight items — fix small picture frames, clocks, or decorative items to walls without nails, screws, or wall plugs. Ideal for renters who can’t drill into walls.
- Securing rugs and mats — apply strips to the underside corners of area rugs to stop them sliding on hardwood, laminate, or tiled floors.
- DIY mosquito netting — run tape around a window frame and along the edges of mesh netting for a removable, washable insect screen.
- Seat cushion grip — prevent seat cushions on dining chairs or garden furniture from slipping by fastening them in place with short strips.
In the workshop or office:
- Cable management — wrap short lengths around cables and cords behind desks, computers, and entertainment systems to keep things tidy and tangle-free.
- Tool organisation — fix strips to a workshop wall or pegboard and attach hand tools for quick access without hooks or brackets.
For exhibitions and display:
- Small signage and labels — attach lightweight signs, name plates, or direction cards to exhibition stands and display boards.
- Craft and model making — secure components that need to be adjustable or removable, such as model aircraft parts, scenery elements, or prototype assemblies.
Blends In for a Professional Finish
The 20mm width is narrow enough to be barely visible once applied, especially on plastic and painted surfaces. You won’t be left with an unprofessional-looking finish — the tape blends in for a clean, modern appearance that suits both commercial and domestic settings.
Water-Resistant and Machine Washable
This tape is water-resistant, making it suitable for day-to-day applications in both indoor and outdoor environments. The hook and loop material itself is also machine washable, so it can be used on items that are regularly cleaned or laundered.
Rubber-Based Pressure Sensitive Adhesive
The rubber adhesive provides strong initial tack and reliable long-term hold on a wide range of smooth surfaces, including:
- Metal
- Glass
- Rigid plastics
- Painted walls
- PVC and uPVC
- Low energy surfaces such as polypropylene, polystyrene, acetyl, PVA (polyvinyl acetate), and Teflon
This makes the tape a practical alternative to nails, screws, or messy glue for securing items to walls, panels, boards, and housings.
Built for Repeated Use
These tapes are a high-quality fasten-and-leave product. There is only minimal decline in grip strength over time, even after many fastening and unfastening cycles. For most applications, you’ll only need to apply the tape once and won’t need to think about replacing it.
Application Instructions
- Clean the surface thoroughly — remove all dust, grease, and moisture. For best results, wipe with isopropyl alcohol and allow to dry completely.
- Peel the release paper away from the adhesive backing.
- Press firmly along the full length of the tape, applying even pressure across the entire width.
- Wait 24 hours before putting the bond under load — the adhesive reaches maximum strength after a full day of curing.

Please note: This tape is not recommended for fabrics, dashboards, flexible vinyl, or underwater use. Continued exposure to full sunlight may reduce the lifespan of the adhesive.

Not Sure If 20mm Is the Right Width?
If you need a stronger hold or wider coverage, consider stepping up to our 25mm or 30mm rolls. For heavier items, our 38mm, 50mm, and 100mm tapes provide significantly more bonding surface.
