Protection tapes
for industry
Industrial protection tapes are a simple way of preventing damage, wear, and contamination on surfaces and products. They are used extensively by businesses in manufacturing, handling, warehousing, and shipping processes.
Trust our range of industrial protection tapes to provide secure adhesion that protects against impact, moisture, temperature, abrasion, chemicals, and exposure to UV. Use these versatile and reliable tapes to:
- Extend the lifespan of products, equipment, and surfaces by reducing wear and tear.
- Reduce waste and claims with lower numbers of defects, reworks, and returns due to damage.
- Ensure that shipments or delicate parts are securely protected to reach your customers in optimum condition.
- Very robust surface/component protection in demanding environments, for example, sandblasting processes in the transportation and marine industries.
- Potentially provide a more cost-effective option than coatings or wrappings.
Our range of protection tapes has been developed with decades of experience of adhesive solutions for industrial applications. Choose from high-quality, resilient backings and adhesives that are resistant to wear and environmental conditions and are suitable for general, heavy-duty, and specialist use.
Protection tapes for industrial adhesive applications
Adhesive protection tapes offer secure adhesion to a wide variety of surfaces for both interior and exterior applications. Interior protection tapes are widely used to shield interior surfaces such as factory floors from damage during demanding manufacturing processes, or to protect fragile machinery and materials during shipping.
Exterior protection tapes need to be able to withstand the challenges of weather conditions, and especially prolonged exposure to UV light. Our selection of protection tapes for outdoor use includes durable adhesive solutions that offer high levels of resistance to temperature and UV.
Our protection tapes can be used for temporary or permanent protection. For example, short-term surface protection and easy removal are provided during painting and spraying processes. Permanent protection tapes may include high-performance properties for specific applications, such as waterproofing or high resistance to heat.
Our industry protection tapes are available in a variety of materials, thicknesses, and adhesion levels to meet the requirements of different applications and surfaces. These include glass, plastics, metals, and coated surfaces, as well as LSE plastics.
