Masking tape
Masking tape is made from thin paper that can easily be torn, with a pressure sensitive
low tack adhesive. The tape can easily be removed from most surfaces without leaving
residue or causing damage.
Invented in 1925 to aid the automotive industry in marking off areas where auto
body paint was not required, masking tape is still used today throughout the automotive
building and repair industries. A favourite of decorators, water-resistant masking
tape allows an area to be safely masked off during painting without the risk of
bleeding or surface damage.
This heat resistant tape offers a multitude of uses across home and industry. Whether
used in building and construction to mark areas or identify components, for general
crafting purposes or as drafting tape to attach blueprints to a drawing board,
our masking tape is a low-cost product that never fails to deliver. Our masking tape is acid free.
