Wide masking tape for multiple surfaces
Painter's tape creates precise painting borders and can stick to walls for long periods. It also keeps color from spreading on various surfaces like glass, metal, brick, and wood. Tape comes designed for either smooth, coarse, or semi-smooth surfaces.
Some delicate surfaces such as those freshly painted require extra care, and some adhesive tape varieties are designed for clean removal from such surfaces after specific times, for instance after three days. When dealing with irregular surfaces, consider options that can hug and contour while maintaining a robust bond.
Painter's tape comes in various sizes
Whether creating labels, sealing boxes, or bundling, wide masking tape is available in various lengths and widths to provide ample adhesion and surface area. The widest versions, like those measuring 12 inches, are suitable for covering surfaces like in spray painting. They also make convenient labeling tape options that users can write on with pens or markers.
Small and thin strips like those spanning 1/2 an inch wide create convenient paint boundaries when aiming for fine details like when painting logos for branding office space. They are also effective for light uses, such as sticking up notices and using for school crafts. Apply the tape conveniently using tape dispensers for better results and use of time.
Joining objects with double-sided tape
Whether splicing, bonding, laminating, or fixing joints, this type of adhesive tape can keep different objects together. The tape can remain concealed, which makes it suitable for attaching graphics and signage neatly to surfaces. These options can also create waterproof and airtight seals in some applications like attaching vapor barriers.
Choosing the right adhesive
The tape comes with various strengths, elasticity, adhesion, materials, and sizes for home, office, school, electrical, and industrial applications. The ability to withstand heat as well high tensile strength is desirable for industrial and electrical applications like color coding electrical wires.
Some of the popular brands of masking tape include:
- 3M™
- Intertape®
- Tape Logic™
- Scotch™
Some options can also withstand UV rays for outdoor use. For beautification, consider colored masking tape. These choices are also suitable for color coding files, shipments, and inventory.
