Crepe paper is used as the backing in many masking tapes. The backing contributes to application and removal, while specific performance depends on paper construction and adhesive formulation.
What to check in use
Assess hand tear, conformability and edge contact in the actual application. Verify paint bleed resistance, tensile strength and temperature performance against the product data sheet; do not generalise values between products.
Removal and storage
Test removal on the intended surface after the planned dwell time. Store rolls according to manufacturer recommendations, protected from direct sunlight and extreme temperatures, and retain packaging and identification.
