tesa® 4308

Premium Masking Tape for Demanding Masking Applications


Product description

tesa® 4308 is a smooth crepe paper masking tape with a natural-rubber adhesive, which has been developed especially for highly demanding masking applications in the automotive aftermarket and transportation industries. The automotive adhesive tape is suitable for masking during spray painting with subsequent oven drying, resisting temperatures up to 110°C. tesa® 4308 can be used either with 2-component or water-based paints. The backing resists bleed-through of paint and is highly conformable and flexible. The masking tape features excellent adhesive properties on different substrates, such as metal, rubber, glass and plastic as well as high tack and good quick adhesion. tesa® 4308 can be removed easily without leaving any residue and leaves clean paint results with good paint edges.
