RK 557 crepe masking tape – 1528 mm x 50 m (45632) at a glance

The RK 557 crepe masking tape from Krückemeyer is a single-sided adhesive crepe tape with rubber adhesive. The backing consists of stabilised crepe, which conforms to contours and ensures a clean edge. With a width of 1528 mm and a length of 50 m, it provides sufficient material even for larger areas. The colour chamois makes work surfaces easier to identify, the thickness of 0.175 mm contributes to good coverage, and the core of 76 mm ensures easy processing in standard dispensers.

The combination of crepe backing and rubber adhesive gives the tape good adhesion to a wide variety of surfaces, and it releases cleanly when peeled off without leaving residue. Typical applications range from masking during painting processes to temporary masking during assembly.

Masking and covering in painting and assembly processes

The RK 557 crepe masking tape is ideally suited to masking components, edges and contours. The flexible crepe layer conforms to irregular surfaces, while the rubber adhesive provides robust adhesion yet allows convenient removal.
