Metal Protection
Mitsui Masking Tape™ may be used to protect sheets of precoated metal, enameled steel, stainless steel and surfaced treated aluminum. Mitsui Masking Tape™ should not be applied to copper or brass surfaces, because the adhesive may react chemically with the surface and cause discoloration.
With its environmentally friendly water-based acrylic adhesive, Mitsui Masking Tape™ may be applied to rolled metal plate with an inline lamination system. The protected metal plate may then be sheared into sheets for subsequent molding and forming processes.
While a laminator is recommended for the application of Mitsui Masking Tape™, the product may be applied by hand. When applying Mitsui Masking Tape™ by hand, the user should stretch both ends of the tape in opposite directions to prevent air bubbles between the surface and the tape.
Mobility Applications
A typical mobility application for Mitsui Masking Tape™ is the protection of aluminum window frames of a bus. Available in a variety of widths, Mitsui Masking Tape™ can be applied efficiently to many windows of different geometries. Mitsui Masking Tape™ also finds use as a protective film for automotive control and navigation screens.
Motorcycle enthusiasts may enjoy the design possibilities of customized decals and stickers. Mitsui Masking Tape™ may be used to produce a wide range of decals and stickers for motorcycles and other mobility applications.
Mitsui Masking Tape™ should be stored in a well-ventilated room below 40 degrees Celsius and away from direct sunlight. For assistance selecting the correct grade of film for your application, please contact our technical experts. To contact our experts, please click the Contact Form button below.
