Features
Application Ideas
? Has been laboratory tested on painted panels and found to remove cleanly at bake
temperatures of up to 250°F (121°C) for 30 minutes. The actual temperature and
time performance may be higher or lower for a given application. Clean removal
can vary dependent on surface type, processing conditions (such as multiple
bakes), type of paint involved as well as the temperature of the surface at removal.
We recommend testing the product under your conditions to determine if it meets
your needs.
? Excellent transfer resistance to “difficult to remove from” surfaces like EDPM
rubber moldings.
? Tests indicate it is better than conventional masking tapes for sunlight resistance,
it is still advised that it not be subjected to outdoor exposure or prolonged periods
of sunlight as tape may become difficult to remove.
? Can be qualified for PPP-T-42C, Type I, (CID-A-A-883A).
? Designed for non-critical paint masking.
? Used throughout industry for holding, protecting, bundling and a vast number of
other difficult jobs where a pressure sensitive tape is needed.
