TESA MASKING TAPE · INDUSTRIAL MASKING
tesa masking tape for painting and surface masking
tesa masking tapes cover selected areas during painting and surface treatment. Selection depends on the substrate, contour, process conditions and planned removal. Krückemeyer GmbH checks the appropriate form of supply.
01
Selection criteria
Check the backing and process first
For reliable masking, the tape must suit the process: Which substrate needs protection, is the paint edge straight or curved, and what happens before removal? tesa 4338 uses slightly creped paper for painting and drying processes; tesa 4174 is a thin PVC fine-line tape for tight curves and plastic parts. For sandblasting, tesakrepp 4432 is listed as a separate specialist masking tape.

TESA MASKING TAPE SELECTION
Which tesa masking tape suits your process?
For large paint masks, tesa 4338 may suit the task because of its initial adhesion and visible green colour. For curved paint edges on plastic parts, tesa describes its PVC fine-line tape 4174; tesakrepp 4432 serves a different task in sandblasting. Masking tape and covering tape describe the temporary masking purpose here, but they do not replace a comparison of the individual products.
Before choosing, check the surface, contour, temperature profile, application time and method of removal. A temperature limit or residue-free removal documented for one tape does not automatically apply to the rest of the range or every substrate. If you need a defined width or shape, discuss cutting and possible die-cut parts in relation to the material and application.

QUESTIONS ABOUT TESA MASKING TAPE
Which tesa masking tape is suitable for curved paint edges?
tesa 4174 is described for tight curves and multidimensional surfaces on plastic parts. Its thin PVC film conforms to the contour and is used to produce flat paint edges in multicolour painting. Whether the tape suits your component also depends on its surface and the painting and drying process. Check these conditions against the specific product before defining a production application.
How do paper and film backings differ in tesa masking tapes?
They differ in construction and in the masking task described for each tape. tesa 4338 has a slightly creped paper backing and is described for painting and drying processes and for securing larger masks. tesa 4174 uses a thin PVC film for tight curves and plastic parts. The backing alone does not establish adhesive suitability, a temperature limit or removal behaviour for another product.
When can tesa masking tape be removed without residue?
This can only be assessed for a specific tape under its stated conditions. The product information for tesa 4338 describes residue-free removal after painting and curing; residue-free removal is also stated for tesa 4174 in its described application on plastic parts. Surface condition, application time and process steps should therefore be checked in advance. These statements do not establish a general promise for every tesa masking tape or every substrate.
What information does Krückemeyer need for converted masking tape?
Describe the specific masking task, substrate, contour, process and planned removal. For the form of supply, state the required width, length or shape and your processing steps. Krückemeyer GmbH can cut adhesive tapes and produce die-cut parts from suitable materials. Whether the selected tesa masking tape works in the required shape and application must be assessed against the material, geometry and conditions of use.
