Masking Tape
Masking tape is used for temporary holding, masking off areas during painting, protecting adjacent surfaces and interim marking, and is removed once the job is done. It differs from packing tape, which seals cartons; painter's tape is a specialised subtype with defined clean-removal properties. Choose by backing and adhesive, documented temperature range, conformability around curves, and surface compatibility (paint, glass or metal).

About this category
Masking tape is an adhesive-tape category with multi-use applications in temporary holding operations, masking areas during painting, protecting adjacent surfaces and carrying interim identification marks according to product design and application. Models differ in backing material and ply (which may be paper, plastic or other configurations) depending on design; a single material should not be assumed across the category. Models differ in adhesive system, in the temperature range documented in the product's specifications, in conformability characteristics that allow the tape to follow curves and edges, and in width, length and roll configuration. Models differ in surface compatibility between tapes dedicated to sensitive painted, glass, metal or other surfaces, with compatible surfaces defined on the product label. A distinction must be maintained between masking tape in general and painter's tape specifically; the latter is a specialty sub-family with defined removal characteristics that should not be assumed across all masking tapes. Heat, solvent, UV or water resistance characteristics are not assumed as absolute properties and are specific to formulations. Packing tape, duct tape and specialty industrial tapes are excluded from this category. Buyers select masking tape models based on backing material, adhesive system, width, documented temperature range and surface compatibility.
