The crepe paper backing of the tape tears easily and offers moderate conformability around corners and over irregular surfaces. The rubber adhesive instantly sticks to surfaces and provides strong holding power, resisting lifting and curling. When it's time to remove the tape, it does so cleanly and easily without leaving residue. The tape bonds well to paper, metal, wood, and painted surfaces, ensuring reliable holding power. Under normal operating conditions, 3M General Purpose Masking Tape 234 can be removed in one piece and is resistant to slivering.
Why Masking Tape?Masking tape was specifically developed to protect surrounding surfaces from overspray, create clean paint lines, and be easily removed without causing damage. These tapes adhere well, resisting solvents or water from the paint, and are strong enough to hang plastic sheeting. The crepe paper backing tears easily by hand and sticks to curved and irregular surfaces without lifting or curling. Different masking tapes are designed for different applications and should be removed within their specified time range. It is important to note that thin or poorly manufactured tapes may splinter or shred when being removed. Masking tape is a staple item in construction, warehousing, military, marine, shipping, and retail industries.
