High Temperature Masking tape characteristics

Polyester Tape
Polyester powder coating masking tapes are usually supplied in green, red or blue. High temperature polyester tapes withstand up to 220°C and as such are good for most powder coating applications. This tape can also be known as PET tape where it is used to prevent weld spatter from adhering to surfaces. The Polyester film can be supplied in varying thicknesses giving it different properties. A thicker film is better for creating a barrier whereas a thinner film is better for conforming around shapes.

Polyester tapes are supplied on 66m roles.

Crepe Tape

Crepe tape looks like ordinary masking tape but can withstand higher temperatures thanks to different adhesives and coatings on the paper. More conformable than polyester but less capable of taking the heat. There are 160°C and 180°C versions available and now there’s even a 200°C version.

Crepe Tape is supplied on 50m rolls.
