Features
? Will give an excellent color line separation due to its thinness.
? The specially processed film backing stretches easily for smooth curves, yet can
be easily torn by hand with a quick tearing action.
? Specially processed film backing will allow taping over fresh paint jobs sooner
than paper tapes with less chance of imprint damage.
? Has excellent moisture and solvent resistance.
? Not considered a high temperature tape but could be used on bake cycles up to
250°F (121°C) for up to 30 minutes.
? Should not be subjected to outdoor exposure or prolonged periods of sunlight as
tape may become difficult to remove.
