The crepe paper backing of the 3M General Purpose Masking Tape 234 tears easily and offers moderate conformability around corners and over irregular surfaces. The rubber adhesive provides instant sticking power and strong holding power, resisting lifting and curling. It can be easily removed from the surface without leaving any residue. This tape bonds well to paper, metal, wood, and painted surfaces, ensuring reliable holding power. Under normal operating conditions, it 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. Masking tapes have excellent adhesion, resisting solvents or water from the paint, and are strong enough to hang plastic sheeting. The crepe paper backing tears easily and sticks well to curved and irregular surfaces without lifting or curling. Different types of masking tapes are designed for specific applications and should be removed within their specified time range. It is important to use high-quality masking tape to avoid splintering or shredding when removing it from the roll or after use. Masking tape is an essential item in construction, warehousing, military, marine, shipping, and retail industries.
