High Temperature Masking Tapes

PPM Industries is a global manufacturer of masking tapes and high temperature masking tapes for the automotive refinish market. As such, we offer a comprehensive range of tapes to distributors or Private Labels worldwide.

High temperature resistance is the key feature of masking tapes aimed at the automotive aftersales market. Professional body shops draw tons of tapes down to mask off vehicles for repair and painting: besides the paint itself, masking tape is probably the most employed tool in the field.

Masking tape is an essential element of the painting job. A great tape can save hours of work every week, speeding up the job and making it easier and swifter. So, how is high temperature masking tape designed to maximize profitability?

High temperature resistance is the key

We engineered our high temperature masking tapes to guarantee holding and clean results throughout multiple exposures to heat. In a standard painting job, the vehicle has to undergo several drying cycles:

Plaster drying
Primer drying
Undercoat drying
Basecoat drying
Clearcoat drying.

If that doesn’t seem enough, keep in mind that additional coat layers and, therefore, additional drying cycles, are required to create some particular painting effects. More or less, the average exposure time to high temperature is 90°C for twenty minutes or 110°C for two minutes, and 60-70°C for about one hour and a half*.

Our best body shop tapes are designed to withstand this kind of exposure with a significant margin. Therefore, the painter can use just one application of the tape for the entire job.

Additional features

High temperature resistance is the basic feature, but a masking tape requires much more to be comfortable to use. Our masking tapes for body shop use:

Have great conformability to adapt to irregular surfaces
Stick to different types of surfaces: metal, rubber, glass…
Have an excellent holding power
Guarantee clean and sharp lines in any painting job
Are compatible with all the most used types of paint
Can be easily torn by hand to speed up the masking procedure
Guarantee fast and clean removal with no adhesive residue.

Besides, the price is competitive compared to other high quality masking tapes.
