IS ***2 Masking tape, also known as crepe paper tape, is a type of
pressure-sensitive tape made of a thin and easy-to-tear paper, and
an easily released pressuresensitive adhesive. It has residue-free
removal for many days and enables exact, sharp edges on smooth and
slightly rough surfaces without any paint dispersion. It is used
mainly in painting, to mask off areas that should not be painted.
The adhesive is the key element to its usefulness, as it allows the
tape to be easily removed without leaving residue or damaging the
surface to which it is applied.
