High Temperature Masking Tape

Crepe masking tape for general purpose, automotive and industrial painting and coating work.

Quick answer

What is high temperature masking tape made of?

Tuftape masking tape uses semi-saturated crepe paper with a natural rubber adhesive. It withstands 80 °C (176 °F) for up to 48 hours, comes in beige, white or yellow, and is 135 microns thick. It conforms to gentle curves, unwinds smoothly and removes without residue.

Backing: Semi-saturated crepe paper
Heat: 80 °C for 48 hours
Adhesive: Natural rubber
Colours: Beige, white, yellow

Masking tapes serve general-purpose, automotive and industrial needs. Tuftape uses semi-saturated crepe paper and a natural latex rubber adhesive for strong adhesion at medium to high temperatures, aimed at commercial work such as metal preparation, coatings and painting. It also works as a general household masking tape for painting, bundling and packaging.

The tape conforms well to gentle curves, sticks and tears easily, unwinds smoothly and leaves no residue on removal. For powder-coating masks that need more heat, see the polyester tape under industrial tapes.
