Protection tapes
for industry
Quick overview
- Protection tapes help prevent damage, wear, and contamination on surfaces and products during manufacturing, handling, warehousing, and shipping processes.
- They provide protection against impact, moisture, temperature, abrasion, chemicals, and UV exposure while offering secure adhesion on a variety of surfaces.
- Protection solutions are available for interior and exterior applications, including appliances, automotive components, transportation systems, solar modules, and paint protection.
- Protection tapes can help extend product lifespan, reduce damage-related defects and rework, and help products reach customers in optimum condition.
Industrial protection tapes are a simple way of preventing damage, wear, and contamination on surfaces and products. They are used extensively by businesses in manufacturing, handling, warehousing, and shipping processes.
Trust our range of industrial protection tapes to provide secure adhesion that protects against impact, moisture, temperature, abrasion, chemicals, and exposure to UV. Use these versatile and reliable tapes to:
- Extend the lifespan of products, equipment, and surfaces by reducing wear and tear.
- Reduce waste and claims with lower numbers of defects, reworks, and returns due to damage.
- Ensure that shipments or delicate parts are securely protected to reach your customers in optimum condition.
- Very robust surface/component protection in demanding environments, for example, sandblasting processes in the transportation and marine industries.
- Potentially provide a more cost-effective option than coatings or wrappings.
Our range of protection tapes has been developed with decades of experience of adhesive solutions for industrial applications. Choose from high-quality, resilient backings and adhesives that are resistant to wear and environmental conditions and are suitable for general, heavy-duty, and specialist use.
Protection tapes for industrial adhesive applications
Adhesive protection tapes offer secure adhesion to a wide variety of surfaces for both interior and exterior applications. Interior protection tapes are widely used to shield interior surfaces such as factory floors from damage during demanding manufacturing processes, or to protect fragile machinery and materials during shipping.
Exterior protection tapes need to be able to withstand the challenges of weather conditions, and especially prolonged exposure to UV light. Our selection of protection tapes for outdoor use includes durable adhesive solutions that offer high levels of resistance to temperature and UV.
Our protection tapes can be used for temporary or permanent protection. For example, short-term surface protection and easy removal are provided during painting and spraying processes. Permanent protection tapes may include high-performance properties for specific applications, such as waterproofing or high resistance to heat.
Our industry protection tapes are available in a variety of materials, thicknesses, and adhesion levels to meet the requirements of different applications and surfaces. These include glass, plastics, metals, and coated surfaces, as well as LSE plastics.

Protection tapes: FAQ
What is protection tape used for?
Protection tape is an adhesive tape that shields surfaces and products from damage, including scratches, moisture, high temperatures, UV exposure as well as paint in masking applications. It is very versatile and can be used across many industries for sealing and protection. It is commonly used in manufacturing, warehousing, and shipping to prevent damage to products and surfaces.
Does protection tape protect from water?
This will depend on the tape. Many tesa® protection tapes are water- and moisture-resistant, and some are fully waterproof. If you require any further assistance about the suitability of a tape for waterproofing, please check the tape’s product information sheet, or contact us for advice.
