RK 556 crepe masking tape at a glance

The RK 556 crepe masking tape from Krückemeyer belongs to the crepe tape category and is a single-sided adhesive masking tape made from stabilised crepe with rubber adhesive. The product designation is RK 556 crepe masking tape - 36 mm x 50 m.

With a core size of 76 mm, a thickness of 0.16 mm and a length of 50 m, the tape provides robust masking. The official width is 38 mm according to the technical data. Note: the product designation states 36 mm – please note the discrepancy in dimensions.

The temperature resistance ranges from −30 °C to +120 °C, enabling use at varying temperatures, from the workshop to outdoor areas. The tape can generally be removed reliably if the substrate has been suitably prepared.

Suitable for masking and marking work

This crepe tape is ideal for temporarily covering surfaces during painting, marking components and identifying workpieces. The stabilised crepe backing conforms well to irregular surfaces and prevents premature lifting caused by movement or bending.

Features & benefits

• High conformability of the stabilised crepe backing enables clean masking even on curved surfaces.
• Rubber adhesive provides good adhesion to many substrates, including temporary adhesion to smooth surfaces.
• Measurable durability thanks to consistent thickness (0.16 mm) reduces lifting and rework.

Application & practical use

Before masking, keep the substrate clean, dry and free from grease. Unroll a sufficient length of tape, create smooth coverage and peel it off in one continuous motion when removing it, ideally at room temperature.
