Product description

tesa® 4302 is a smooth and excellent conformable paper masking tape, especially designed for highest requirements in automotive paintworks (water- or solvent based paints) followed by high temperature oven-drying. Paints and even critical filler systems adhere excellent to the backing avoiding any kind of flaking.
