Adhesive Solutions for Masking

With diverse applications as in commercial and residential painting, paint stripping, and electroplating, masking tapes are expected to perform across a wide range of conditions. When selecting an adhesive there are a number of tape application considerations to be addressed, including the end use substrate, facestock, economy versus premium cost, and temperature and chemical exposure. With so many variables to consider for both the tape manufacturer and end user, tape selection becomes very specific.

  • Smooth peel and a clean removal, even after long-term use
  • Adhesion to a wide range of surfaces with varying textures and finishes, including Low Surface Energy (LSE) plastics like polypropylene
