UV Resistance, High Visibility and Operator Friendliness — All in One, Multi-Tasking Masking Tape
Ready to Simplify your Painting Applications?
Most masking tapes are made for specific tasks. You know the deal: one tape for general painting purposes, another for painting fine lines and yet another for high-temperature processes, and so on. You have to buy an entire line of tapes, keep track of which one is for what, careful not to use the wrong tape, and make sure inventory is stocked with all these different tapes. It gets complicated.
Wouldn’t life be easier with just one tape that did it all?
Yep, plus it just makes better sense, right? Now, one thing you need to know about our engineers: You give them a complicated problem involving adhesive tapes, and they are going to solve it.
So we briefed them on all of this, and they went to work. What they came up with is tesa® 4338 Green, a multi-tasking masking tape that can be used for a number of different applications.
For you, that means buying one masking tape instead of an entire line. For your operators, it means only ever having to reach for one tape, no matter what task they’re prepping for.
tesa® 4338 Green gives you:
- UV and weather resistance up to 7 days without residues
- High temperature resistance | Multiple drying cycles
- High visibility (bright green color)
- Highly conformable
- Thin/clean paint edge due to lower tape thickness
- Superior peel adhesion provides secure bonding
- Excellent handling properties
About that last one… we know adhesive tape; it’s what we do. So we know that masking tapes can be hard to unwind. If you mess up a little, they can be difficult to reposition. And many leave residue behind which has to be scrubbed off. Plus, tape backings can be tough on fingers after a while.
All these little annoyances can add up if you’re an operator who works with masking tape on a regular basis. So this part is going to make your paint workers really happy.
tesa® 4338 Green is completely operator friendly:
- Easy to unwind
- Finger friendly
- Quick stick adhesive
- Secure Fixation
- Easily pulled up and repositioned
- Excellent elogantion properties (won't tear around curves)
- Demasks beautifully
- Removes without residue
- Leaves a clean, crisp paint line
Our advanced adhesive technology makes tesa® 4338 Green so easy to work with, so consistent and balanced, the painting process is smoother, operators are happier and manufacturers are happier.
We hate to sound cliché, but isn't that what's called a "win/win"?
