Features
? Offers excellent paint masking performance with high solids paints and urethane
clear coats used in the transportation industry.
? Holding power resists the most stringent applications and bake cycles.
? Can be removed warm or cold from most surfaces without adhesive transfer.
? Has been laboratory tested on painted steel panels and found to remove cleanly
at bake temperatures up to 325°F (163°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
your performance limits.
? Excellent conformability and tear properties.
? Smoothness of the backing makes this tape very “user friendly.”
? Excellent paint flake resistance.
? Balanced construction with a stronger backing gives this tape easy removal
properties without slivering.
? Good resistance to adhesive transfer on automotive type rubber moldings when
removed at room temperatures.
? Should not be subjected to outdoor exposure or prolonged exposure to sunlight as
tape may become difficult to remove.
