The Industry: Metal Fabrication
The Challenge: Masking - Customer required a tape to mask and protect aluminum formed into narrow strips during a painting operation. Tape must be available in various tight tolerance widths, long lengths, and conform to a profiled surface. The adhesive needed to resist outgassing if exposed to UV radiation (sunlight), and still remove easily, leaving no residue.
Our Approach: Consultation with the customer's designers, engineers and production equipment operators, including observation of the manufacturing operations, allowed Plustar to determine critical performance characteristics and suitable application methods. Initial sampling and testing was performed to confirm acceptable properties of several tapes. Custom slit samples were produced for testing in the customers process.
The Solution: A thin, highly conformable adhesive tape, resistant to paints and solvents, custom slit in narrow width rolls to a tolerance of +/- 0.010”, in long lengths up to 3000 feet.
