Features
- Base Material: PET + Crepe Paper (or MG Paper)
- Adhesive : Silicone
- Excellent adhesive, High Temperature Resistant, acid/alkali/solvent resistance, Strong Holding Force, Clean removal
- High visibility, faster QC – The red crepe backing pops against most substrates, so placement errors are caught early.
- Conformable & hand-tear – Bends around trims and radii; tears cleanly to speed masking and reduce blade use.
- Clean removal after bake – High-temp adhesive systems are designed to peel off at a low angle after cool-down with minimal residue.
- Edge control for short, hot cycles – Maintains a reliable mask boundary during typical decorative finishing cures.
- Format flexibility – Supplied in standard & custom widths, plus die-cuts/disks for ports, fasteners, and cut-outs.
- Pairs well with films – Use crepe for speed/visibility and combine with PET or Polyimide where heat is higher or tolerances are tighter.
Why choose this tape

How To Apply For Best Results
- Prep and dry – Wipe oils and dust; moisture under the edge invites creep and lift.
- Low-tension laydown – Place the tape without stretching; tension can cause pull-back during bake.
- Burnish the edge – Press along the boundary with a squeegee or gloved thumb for a continuous seal.
- Avoid heavy overlaps – Overlaps can trap solvents and cause thick paint ridges; where necessary, keep overlaps minimal and consistent.
- Bake, then cool – Run your cure profile; allow cool-down to near room temperature.
- Peel low & slow – Remove at a low angle (≈10–20°) to reduce fiber lift and adhesive transfer.
FAQs
- Why choose red crepe over green PET?
For speed, visibility, and curves on light-to-moderate bake schedules. PET wins where heat is higher or edges must be ultra-crisp on large flats. - Does red crepe handle 220 °C?
Yes—some silicone high-temp grades are engineered for short bursts up to 220 °C / 30 min; always validate against your exact dwell and substrate. - Will it leave residue?
Used correctly (clean surface, edge burnish, cool-down before peel), high-temp grades are designed for clean removal. - Can I combine it with film tapes?
Absolutely. Many lines run crepe for coverage and fine-line or PET/PI at the boundary or hottest zones.
Troubleshooting:
- Paint creep at curves → Re-burnish edges; consider a slightly thicker grade or add a short fine-line layer just at the boundary.
- Residue after hot cycles → Confirm cool-down before peel; step up to silicone high-temp grade for hotter flashes.
- Lift on textured surfaces → Use higher-tack grade or prime the boundary with firm pressure; ensure full dryness after solvent wipe.
Compatibility and Limitations
- Excellent for light-to-moderate bake schedules and decorative work.
- For sustained exposure above ~180–200 °C, or where ultimate edge precision is required, consider Green PET (400 °F class) or Polyimide (500 °F class) in the hot zones.
- Crepe is paper-based; for prolonged chemical immersion or aggressive solvents, test or switch to films in those areas.
Applications (where it earns its keep)
Decorative finishing & trim – Quick masking on doors, bezels, faceplates, and housings; simple curves & seams.
Automotive & appliance paint – Hand-tear speed and visibility help in mixed-model environments.
PCB spray masks / light thermal steps – Temporary coverage for short, hot cycles when film precision isn’t required.
Fixture & jig protection – Shield tooling from overspray where high-temp films are overkill.
Quality and Handling
- Storage: Cool, dry; keep sealed in poly when not in use.
- Shelf life: Follow label; rotate stock (FIFO).
- Operator safety: Hand-tear reduces blade handling near fresh coats.
- Die-cuts & kits: Store flat; keep liner on until use for dimensional stability.
