What is a Masking Tape?
Masking Tape or Painter’s tape is tape whose purpose is made to assist painters when they apply paint. When the paint is being applied, the Masking Tape ensures to prevent the colours contrast, avoid smudging, and looking odd on the different colored areas. Masking tape is a type of adhesive tape that is primarily used for the concealment of surfaces temporarily when they are not required to be used for a finishing process. Masking tapes serve as temporary protection of areas from painting, soldering, blasting, spraying, coating, plating, and polishing while these procedures are administered to nearby surfaces. The composition of masking tape depends on the activity for which it is designed.
Uses of masking tape:
Masking tapes are commonly used for high-intensity processes, such as electroplating, thermal spraying, and shot peening. These Masking tapes find design variants for the various jobs that they are used for. The application of masking tapes is done by hand, by the way of using a pressure-sensitive adhesive that makes it easily tearable when we are done with the job and it can also be easily dispensed. The masking tape can be removed once the purpose is served. As there is a light adhesive it will wear off after some time; hence, once the Masking tapes have outlived their usefulness, it has to be taken off, thus preventing it from leaving residue behind or from causing damage to the surface that it was supposed to protect.
