Tape for Painting

Masking tape is a pressure-sensitive tape designed to adhere to a surface to protect it when painting. The type of adhesive used on masking tape is formulated to make it easy to remove without leaving a residue behind.

Masking tapes may be made of paper or plastic and will not allow any paint to pass through them onto the protected surface.

Masking tapes can be classified by their temperature resistance. The colour of your tape will often indicate the level of temperature resistance you're getting. We have a selection of masking tapes with a range of temperature grades, from 80°C to 220°C.

Although paper tape and masking tape are similar, they're generally not used for the same purpose. Paper tape often has a weaker adhesive than masking tape, and is usually only used on smooth, flat surfaces like walls. Meanwhile, masking tape has a stronger pressure-based adhesive that can be pressed into curves and bends, making it easier to use on a variety of surfaces, including car doors and jambs.

1.Masking tape is most often used when painting to prevent paint from getting onto a particular area. For example, you might use painters tapes when decorating to prevent wood paint on a door frame from getting onto the surrounding wall, or on a light fitting.
2.Masking tape is regularly used as painters tape when spray painting cars or UPVC window frames for the same purpose.
3.Using masking tape has several benefits, including helping you save time, preventing mistakes and allowing for a clean, high-quality finish.

If the right type of masking tape is used for a job and is applied correctly and then removed carefully, it should not peel off the paint.
One of the most common reasons for masking tape peeling off paint when it is removed is that the underlying layer was not fully bonded to the surface – for example, if the paint was applied to damp plaster.
If the tape is left in place for too long, the adhesive may degrade and cause it to stick more tightly to the underlying wall, in which case it will be more likely to peel paint away.
