Installation Guide
1. Clean the surface
Remove dust, oil, moisture, and other contaminants from the application area.
2. Select the appropriate tape
Choose the backing, thickness, adhesive strength, and temperature grade according to the process conditions.
3. Apply the tape
Apply the tape evenly to the surface while avoiding wrinkles, bubbles, or excessive stretching.
4. Press firmly
Apply sufficient pressure to ensure good contact, particularly around edges and corners.
5. Complete the process
Perform painting, powder coating, anodizing, plating, heating, or other processing according to the application requirements.
6. Remove the tape
After processing and cooling, remove the tape at a controlled angle and speed. Check the surface for clean removal.
Storage
Store silicone masking tape in its original packaging in a cool, dry, and clean environment.
Recommended storage conditions:
- Avoid direct sunlight.
- Keep away from excessive heat and moisture.
