Features

• 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).

Application Ideas

• Excellent paint masking tape.

• Used throughout industry for holding, protecting, bundling and a vast number of

other difficult jobs where a pressure sensitive tape is needed.
