Types of Adhesive Tape and Fields of Use
Adhesive tapes for masking and protective measures are not subject to specific standards. As a result, there are no uniform types of adhesive tapes.
Types of Adhesive Tapes and Fields of Use
| Fine / flat crepe | Adhesive tape, low adhesion | Extra-thin special paper (washi) | |
| Adhesion to steel | Moderate to high adhesion | Low adhesion | Low to moderate adhesion |
| Backing material | Textured (crepe) paper | Textured (crepe) or special paper | Special paper |
| Examples of tasks | Finishing and painting work | Work on sensitive surfaces, such as wallpaper, coated surfaces, water-based paint or varnish, for double masking | For sharp painted edges, long-term use, for double masking |
| Not suitable for | Mechanical strain (plastering and stucco work), natural stone | Mechanical strain, rough surfaces, natural stone | Mechanical strain, natural stone |
