Pape tape comes with different grades while the adhesion value and thickness of the paper have to be adjusted according to application. Widely used for color separation and painting made by hand or by spray, furniture making, automobile, and aircraft painting, in appliance manufacturing, decorative glass making, powder coating, plating, and sandblasting.

Paper tapes are made from aggressive rubber / resin and silicone solvent based adhesives and are resistant to very high ranges of temperatures to meet different application requirements.

Applications for Paper Tape

Paper tapes are used in domestic and commercial applications such as indoor painting and plastering, brushing and spraying air drying paints, masking a variety of metals, high temperature masking like powder coating, protection against damage, protection and masking during sandblasting and protection against abrasion.

Paper masking tape is used in the painting and decorative sector ensuring professional painters achieve straight lines in finishing and no residue when removed from the surface.

Paper tape comes with different grades while the adhesion value and thickness of the paper have to be adjusted according to application. Paper tape is widely used for color separation and painting made by hand or by spray, furniture making, automobile, and aircraft painting, appliance manufacturing, decorative glass making, powder coating, plating, and sandblasting.

The need for inexpensive paper tape became apparent when the automotive industry needed to mask off certain areas of their cars during the painting process. This prompted the development of masking tape and other saturated (impregnated) paper tapes. The two main types of saturated paper backings are crepe paper and flatback paper. The paper color can vary from white (bleached) to light tan (semibleached), and dark tan (unbleached). If a darker raw paper is used and a lighter shade of tape is desired, some TiO2 may be incorporated into the adhesive and/or saturant formula.

Saturants include natural rubber, styrene-butadiene rubber, and various water-based latexes. The first release coatings for saturated paper tapes were natural and synthetic polymers such as shellac, starch, casein, and nitrocellulose. Saturated papers, coated with pressure-sensitive adhesives, sometimes show a lowering of tack and adhesion on aging. In most cases, this effect is due to the tackifier resin migrating from the adhesive into the saturant. Unsaturated kraft paper tapes have been developed most recently.

The adhesive is usually a natural rubber type, but hot melt adhesives are also used. Silicone-based release coatings are used on the reverse of the paper carrier to keep the layers of tape from attaching to each other in the roll and to counter the tendency for delamination of the adhesive and kraft paper backing.

Masking tapes date back to 1925. Masking tape was invented by Richard Drew after witnessing the frustration of auto bodyworkers as they used butcher paper to cover the cars they were painting. The ineffectiveness of butcher paper in auto-body applications made Drew search for better alternatives.
