We know it can be used for many purposes and applications, but really: what is masking tape? What is it made of? What is it used for? Let’s answer these questions once and for all.
Masking tape is a lightly adhesive, easy to unwind and easy to tear paper tape, that can be applied on many different surfaces and removed without leaving any residue or causing any damage. Its gentleness and low level of adhesion make it ideal for many applications, both at a professional and non-professional level.
What is masking tape made of
Masking tape is made of two layers:
A thin saturated crepe paper backing, that is thin enough to be torn by hand (so that no cutting tool is required).
An adhesive that can be solvent free, hot melt or acrylic based, depending on the level of adhesion required.
What is masking tape used for
Masking tape was originally used (as we said earlier) to cover off auto parts which didn’t require painting. Today, this application is still the most common; however, considering that masking tape guarantees clean and sharp edges and prevents paint from dripping, it’s also being used today for all kinds of professional and DIY painting jobs.
According to the field of application, we has a specific selection of different masking tapes.
