Product Features
- Thin PET film for straight and thin paint lines
- High tensile strength for easy demasking without the tape tearing
- Residue-free removal up to 150°C/1h
- Due to the low thickness of 54 µm, the tape creates extra sharp paint lines
- The temperature resistance of up to 150°C/1h and the high tensile strength provide an ideal usage for two-tone painting on car bodies at the automotive OEM or on bumpers at OES, especially if long straight lines are required.
