RK 550 crepe masking tape RK 72712 at a glance

The RK 550 crepe masking tape is a single-sided masking tape with a stabilised crepe backing and rubber adhesive. At 1498 mm wide and 100 m long, it is ideal for covering wide areas in industrial processes. The core of 76 mm ensures stable unwinding with standard dispensing systems. The tape thickness is approximately 0.18 mm and its temperature resistance ranges from -30°C to +175°C.

The tape is made of stabilised crepe, offering a good compromise between tear strength and ease of tearing. The rubber adhesive provides reliable adhesion to many surfaces but can also be removed without residue when needed.
