RK 540 Crepe Masking Tape

RK 540 crepe masking tape – 1,660 mm x 50 m at a glance

The RK 540 crepe masking tape is a stable masking tape with a stabilised crepe backing and a rubber adhesive. At 1,660 mm wide and 50 m long, it is ideal for covering large areas in painting and industrial applications. The core measures 76 mm, and the tape thickness is 0.15 mm. The material retains adhesion over a temperature range of -30 °C to +110 °C.

Suitable for masking and painting work

This masking tape is well suited to painting and covering large areas, reliably protects surfaces from paint splashes and provides a clean edge around contours. The combination of stabilised crepe and rubber adhesive ensures reliable adhesion to typical substrates and easy removal after processing.

Dimensions and specifications of RK 540

• Width: 1660 mm
• Length: 50 m
• Thickness: 0.15 mm
• Core: 76 mm
• Adhesive: Rubber
• Backing material: Stabilised crepe
• Temperature resistance: -30 °C to +110 °C

High flexibility for work around contours

The stabilised crepe backing conforms to irregular surfaces and thus provides even coverage around edges and curves. This property reduces paint bleed-through and minimises scorching on geometrically shaped surfaces.

Application tips: how to use RK 540 correctly

1. Keep surfaces clean, dry and free of dust before masking.
2. Apply the tape without tension along the contours and press it down evenly.
3. After processing, remove the tape slowly at a shallow angle to avoid adhesive residue.

Construction: stabilised crepe paper with rubber adhesive

The construction ensures reliable adhesion to common substrates, while the tape releases cleanly after removal. The composition of the adhesive offers a balanced relationship between adhesion and removal behaviour, which is particularly beneficial for large-area applications.
