How to Choose Surface Protection Tape

How to Choose Surface Protection Tape

Surface protection tape may be used for temporary protection during manufacturing and handling. Suitability depends on the material and actual use conditions.

Identify the surface

Metal, painted panels, plastics and glass can differ in surface energy and coating strength. Tell the supplier about texture, cleanliness, dwell time and indoor or outdoor exposure.

Validate a sample

Apply a sample using representative line pressure and duration. After storage, inspect for edge lift, adhesive residue and surface change. Follow the specific product data sheet and surface manufacturer's instructions.
