Key Features
Superior Conformability
High-crepe paper backing stretches and conforms to curves, corners, and irregular surfaces.
Clean Removal Performance
Pressure-sensitive adhesive maintains secure bonding during masking and removes cleanly without leaving adhesive residue.
Hand Tearability
Crepe paper backing tears easily by hand without requiring cutting tools.
Curved & Irregular Surface Performance
Tight-Radius Curve Conformability: The creped paper backing follows tight-radius curves and rounded edges, allowing the tape to maintain a continuous masking path without excessive creasing.
Contour & Direction Change Adaptation: The tape accommodates changes in surface direction around corners and contours, helping maintain contact as the masking line changes direction.
Edge Contact on Curved Profiles: Maintains close contact along curved edges and transitions, reducing gaps between the tape and substrate where paint can pass beneath the masking edge.
Controlled Conformity on Irregular Shapes: Adapts to changing radii, uneven profiles, and compound contours, making it easier to maintain a continuous masking line on complex shapes.
Applications
Automotive Refinishing
Curved body panels, trim lines, wheel arches, and edges in spray painting, drying, and baking operations.
Architecture & Painting
Walls, windows, baseboards, decorative moldings, and other areas requiring masking during painting and renovation.
Industrial Manufacturing
Temporary masking, component identification, surface protection, and bundling during assembly and production.
Woodworking & Furniture Finishing
Curved edges, decorative profiles, and finished wood surfaces during painting, coating, and finishing.
Surface Compatibility
Metal & Aluminum
Adheres to painted metal, aluminum, and primed metal surfaces, including finished body panels and industrial components.
Glass & Smooth Ceramics
For glass, windows, glazed ceramics, and other smooth, non-porous surfaces.
Plaster, Drywall & Wood
Painted walls, drywall, baseboards, and finished wood with sound, well-bonded surface coatings.
Plastic & Molded Components
ABS, PVC, acrylic, and other compatible plastics; low-surface-energy materials such as PE and PP should be tested before use.
Temperature Resistance
Standard Temperature Grade: Up to 60°C for general painting and drying processes. Adhesive performance remains stable within the specified exposure time.
Medium Temperature Grade: 80–100°C for moderate drying and heating processes. The adhesive resists softening and transfer during short-term exposure.
High Temperature Grade: 120–180°C for baking and high-temperature coating processes. Maintains edge adhesion during heating and allows clean removal after the specified curing cycle.
Thermal Stability & Clean Peel: Controlled adhesive cross-linking reduces gumming, blistering, and adhesive transfer during heating. Removal after cooling leaves minimal adhesive residue under recommended conditions.
OEM / Customization
Dimension Options
Widths from 5 mm to 1250 mm and lengths from 10 m to 1000 m, available as log rolls, slit rolls, or small rolls.
Adhesive & Temperature Grades
Hot melt, natural/synthetic rubber, and acrylic adhesive options, with temperature grades available up to 180°C.
Backing & Color Options
Standard or reinforced crepe paper backing in beige, white, yellow, blue, green, red, black, and custom colors.
Private Label & Packaging
Custom core printing, carton labels, retail shrink-wrap, and branded packaging available for OEM and private-label orders.
Performance Testing & Quality Control
Raw Material & Dimensional Inspection: Incoming crepe paper is checked for basis weight and thickness, while adhesive coating weight, roll width, length, and winding are controlled during production.
Adhesion & Peel Testing: Testing covers adhesion to steel, rolling ball tack, and static shear holding power, following applicable PSTC/ASTM test methods.
Thermal & Clean Removal Testing: Heat resistance is tested at specified temperatures, including grades up to 180°C. Removal tests check for adhesive transfer, residue, and surface changes after thermal exposure.
Tensile Strength & Compliance: Backing is tested for tensile strength and elongation. Quality documentation can include ISO 9001, RoHS, REACH, and third-party SGS test reports, where applicable.
Packaging & Shipping
Individual Roll Shrink Wrapping: Each roll is individually shrink-wrapped for protection during storage and transportation.
Export Carton Packaging: Standard export cartons with moisture protection are used for bulk orders and container shipments.
Palletized Packing: Palletized packaging is available for container loading, with packing configurations arranged according to order volume and roll format.
Custom Packaging & Shipment Options: Custom carton printing and labels are available. Shipments can be arranged by sea, air, rail, or express, with FCL and LCL options.
FAQ
Q: What is the MOQ for custom sizes and private label packaging?
A: MOQs vary by specification, but we offer flexible low-MOQ trial options for custom dimensions, printed cores, and retail packaging to support new distributors.
Q: Do you provide free samples for line trials?
A: Yes. We supply complimentary sample rolls for testing adhesion and temperature performance.
Q: What is the standard production lead time?
A: Standard production takes 10 to 15 days following order confirmation and deposit receipt, depending on order volume and custom requirements.
Q: What factors affect adhesion and clean removal?
A: Adhesion and removal depend on the substrate, coating condition, temperature, and contact time. Testing on the actual surface is recommended before production use.
Q: What payment terms do you accept?
A: We typically accept T/T with a standard deposit and balance against the Bill of Lading copy, as well as L/C at sight for qualified partners.
