The crepe paper backing of 3M General Purpose Masking Tape 234 tears easily and offers moderate conformability around corners and irregular surfaces. The rubber adhesive provides instant sticking power and strong holding power, resisting lifting and curling. When it's time to remove the tape, it does so cleanly and easily from the surface. 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 removable. It adheres well, resisting solvents or water from the paint, and is strong enough to hang plastic sheeting. Despite its strength, it removes cleanly without damaging the subsurface. 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 different applications and should be removed within their specified time range. It is important to note that a thin or poorly manufactured tape may splinter or shred when coming off the roll or being removed after use. Therefore, a roll of masking tape is a basic toolbox or supply room item in various industries such as construction, warehousing, military, marine, shipping, and retail.
