Benefits
- Reliable hole sealing: Helps keep unwanted openings securely covered during automotive painting and coating.
- Improved paint-process control: Reduces the risk of paint or coating entering protected holes and openings.
- Good conformability: Fabric backing can adapt to curved, uneven, or slightly irregular surfaces.
- Durable handling: Provides good mechanical strength during transportation, assembly, and production handling.
- Production efficiency: Easy application can simplify hole-plugging operations on automotive body panels.
- Customizable: Can be supplied in different widths, roll lengths, and die-cut shapes according to production requirements.
- Suitable for long-term applications: Designed for applications where the tape is intended to remain in place rather than function as temporary masking tape.

Installation Guide
1. Clean the Surface
Remove oil, dust, moisture, release agents, and other contaminants from the bonding area.
2. Select the Correct Size
Choose a tape width or die-cut piece large enough to completely cover the hole with sufficient bonding area around the opening.
3. Apply the Tape
Remove the release liner if applicable and apply the adhesive side directly to the prepared surface.
4. Apply Pressure
Press the tape firmly around the entire perimeter of the hole to establish good contact and minimize possible gaps.
5. Process the Vehicle
Proceed with the applicable painting and baking process according to the validated production conditions.
6. Final Inspection
After processing, inspect the sealed area to confirm adhesion, sealing integrity, paint compatibility, and the required final appearance.
Important: Actual application conditions should be validated before mass production, particularly for high-temperature paint-baking processes.
Storage
Store the tape in its original packaging under clean and dry conditions.
Recommended storage conditions should be based on the specific product technical data sheet. Avoid direct sunlight, excessive heat, moisture, dust, and contact with incompatible chemicals.
For best performance, use the tape within its specified shelf life and allow the material to reach the application environment before use when required.
FAQ
Q1: Is this tape designed for automotive paint-baking processes?
Yes. It is designed for automotive paint-shop hole sealing and plugging applications where the tape needs to remain securely attached during the applicable painting and baking process. The exact temperature resistance should be confirmed for the selected tape grade.
Q2: Is it a temporary masking tape?
No. This product is positioned for long-term or permanent hole-sealing applications, rather than conventional temporary paint masking. The required service life should be defined according to the vehicle manufacturing process.
Q3: Can it be used on automotive metal body panels?
Yes. It can be evaluated for steel, galvanized steel, aluminum, E-coated and painted automotive body panels, subject to substrate and adhesive compatibility testing.
Q4: Can Yousan provide custom sizes?
Yes. Custom slit widths, roll lengths and die-cut shapes can be developed according to the hole dimensions and production requirements.
Q5: Can it be supplied as die-cut pieces?
Yes. Die-cut hole-sealing parts can be supplied for applications requiring consistent dimensions and faster installation.
Q6: Will the tape leave adhesive residue?
Residue performance depends on the adhesive construction, surface, temperature, application duration, and removal requirements. For a permanent application, residue-free removal should not be assumed or specified unless confirmed by testing.
Q7: What information is required for product selection?
For an accurate recommendation, please provide the substrate, hole diameter or shape, paint/coating system, baking temperature and duration, required service life, tape dimensions, and estimated quantity.
