Product description
RK 556 crepe masking tape – 42223 at a glance
The RK 556 crepe masking tape from Krückemeyer belongs to the crepe tape family. It combines a stabilised crepe backing with a rubber adhesive that provides reliable adhesion to typical masking and painting surfaces. The width of 18 mm and the length of 50 m enable quick masking of large areas, while the thickness of 0.16 mm ensures good unwinding. The core diameter is 76 mm, making it easier to use in standard dispensers.
This combination makes the tape a reliable solution for temporary bonding tasks, masking contours and clean masking during painting or assembly work.
The temperature resistance ranges from -30 °C to +120 °C, allowing the tape to retain its adhesion even in changing environments – ideal for workshops, storage and exhibition areas.
Suitable for masking and contour work
Close-fitting contour masking
Despite its crepe structure, the tape also conforms to finer contours and creates clear edges during masking work. The combination of crepe backing and rubber adhesive supports secure positioning during processing.
