Even the most beautiful color compositions lose value if there is dripping paint on the wall or splotches on the floor. With our masking tapes, you can precisely tape off areas of the wall. Moreover, you can achieve optimal paint edges and prevent ugly dripping. Since the surfaces can be highly diverse, you can find various adhesive solutions in our wide range. The adhesive performance of each masking tape is adjusted to smoothly fit the given surface but also so that it can be removed without any residue.
We also offer additional masking solutions, allowing you to protect your living space from paint drops in large areas. In the 2-in-1 products, you can find an integrated adhesive tape in the masking foil or masking paper. That way, you can take care of two steps at once and save time. Whether you just want to paint your walls white, if you’re thinking of patterns and shapes in various colors, or if you want to paint your windows… We have the right adhesive solution for you!
Professional Painter Tape for Professional Paint Jobs
tesa Masking Tapes can be easily removed
Clients have ever higher demands. And the competition doesn’t rest, either. That’s why it makes sense for you to work only with high quality material as a professional painter. While there is painter equipment in more affordable price ranges, these products are often problematic. So, it is best for you to rely from the start on adhesive solutions that are fully functional from day one. That way you can spare yourself time- and cost-intensive rework.
As a long-standing partner of the crafts, we support professional painters in their challenging tasks. We are in steady contact and have developed problems that effortlessly solve the everyday challenges in the area of masking and covering. The secret of the high quality of our painter tapes lies in an optimal combination of adhesive performance and base material. Furthermore, we obviously also make sure that the use of our products is easy and comfortable.
Masking Tapes for Challenges of all Sorts
Our masking range and expertise helps car manufacturers to master the challenges and keep each step as lean as possible. This includes ensuring reliable adhesion; avoiding overspray on e-, solvent-, and water-based coatings even at high temperatures in the oven; and guaranteeing simple and residue-free tape removal to prevent extra work.
The importance of masking applications in industrial processes is often underestimated. In many cases, masking applications can strongly impact production efficiency and the overall quality of products. Only the use of appropriate masking products that offer reliable quality can help to deliver optimal results, thus avoiding unnecessary trouble in production. Our masking solutions have been carefully developed and prove their outstanding quality each and every day in various applications worldwide – this includes surface protection against paint, dust, etc. and plastering tapes for indoor and outdoor use. Our high-quality covering solutions are used for many types of tasks in the industrial area. When constructing planes, ships and trains but also cars, they play an important role, e.g. when painting parts or protecting sensitive surfaces. While the challenges vary – and thus the products -, the success of our masking tapes can be summarized as follows: We offer the individually suitable adhesive solution for (nearly) any challenge!
Every masking tape is devised for specific areas of application. In the manufacture of our products, both the precisely balanced adhesive performance but also the optimal base material have the highest priority. Only an ideal combination of these two factors allows the balancing act between a strong bond when affixing and a residue-free removal after application to succeed. In our range, there are numerous masking tapes suited for specific work steps, e.g. as part of sand blast work or when applying powder coating or for spray painting with oven drying up to 160° C.
Overview – Most Common Industrial Application Fields for Masking Tapes
| Wet coating/ Spray painting | Coating process by which the material is applied to surfaces with a spray gun or via other techniques (rollers, brushes, etc.). High temperatures are often applied to cure the coating. Masking tapes are used to protect areas that should not be coated. |
| Powder coating | Free-flowing powders of thermoplastic or thermoset polymers are typically transferred to surfaces via electrostatic forces. The coating is heat-treated (180°C - 220°C), which leads to a melting of the powder and the formation of a thick and even coating layer. Tape selection considers tear resistance and conformability needs. |
| Sandblasting | Surface treatment using abrasive materials applied to the substrate via air pressure. The technique is used to remove coatings or impurities and also for surface modification (e.g. improving durability of metal surfaces). Selection of an appropriate product depends on the aggressivity of blasting material, air pressure, and duration of the process. |
| Galvanizing | Electrochemical process to cover material with a metal coating (e.g. nickel-, chrome-, or silver-plating performed in liquid electrolytes). Masking tapes need to withstand various chemicals found in the electrolytes (alkalines or acidic types). |
| Surface protection | Temporary protection of different surfaces to prevent damage through dust, moisture, scratches, or mechanical impact. |
Masking tapes are essential for painting, plastering, and surface protection and provide perfect, sharp, and flat edges. Our masking tapes are easy to use and removable without residue even from delicate surfaces, both indoors and outdoors. We offer different types of masking tapes to fullfil the specific demands of certain applications:
Cloth Tapes
Cloth tapes offer superior performance and unique functionality that goes far beyond ordinary duct tape. Applications are endless, including use in extreme temperature and climatic conditions. Our PET backing cloth tapes for example are perfect for powder coating.
Filmic / PVC / PP / PE Tapes
When precise masking is critical, filmic tapes are the products of choice. These products are also referred to as fine-line tapes; the name speaks for itself.
Paper Tapes
Quick, easy, and efficient products for general purpose masking and also special tasks. Our strong and resistant paper backing tapes for example also withstand the high demands of sandblasting works. And our extra thin paper tapes are perfect for razor-sharp paint edges - alos outdoors or an wallpapers.
