Painter's tape, also known as masking tape, is a type of pressure-sensitive adhesive tape that is widely used in painting projects. It is designed to be easily applied and removed without leaving residue or damaging the surface it is applied to.
Painter's tape is typically made of a Washi paper or Crepe paper as carrier. It has a relatively low-tack adhesive on one side that allows it to adhere to surfaces temporarily.
The main purpose of painter's tape is to create clean and straight lines while painting. It is applied along the edges or borders of the area that needs to be painted, such as walls, ceilings, windows, floors, brick, concrete, stucco, wall paper, or fresh paint. The tape acts as a barrier, preventing paint from bleeding or spreading beyond the designated area. It helps achieve sharp edges and professional-looking results.
One of the key advantages of painter's tape is its ability to be easily removed without damaging the underlying surface or leaving adhesive residue behind. There are several different types of SLAA painter's tape available, each with its own unique characteristics and recommended uses. Here are some of the common types:
