When you need product protection, plant safety markings, preservation solutions, and impact media protection, our tape technologies are right on the line. With scratch protection, easy on - easy off, chemical and abrasion resistance, and custom die-cut shapes, our tapes work to your advantage.

You need masking tapes for painting, stripping, priming, PCB plating, wave soldering, electroplating and lithography. Our advantages are fine paint line and large area systems, custom die-cut shapes, stick-and-stay performance, high temperature products, and clean removal with no flaking or silvering.

Web processing requires splicing and attaching paper, film and metals while maintaining web control. We have the quick adhesion and high holding strength, even on slick surfaces that you need. Our web processing tapes are also resistant to temperature, repulpable, and thin.
