Industrial buyers in the UAE, such as HVAC contractors, automotive refinishing centers, MEP firms, construction companies, and manufacturing units depend on precision-engineered masking tapes that deliver controlled adhesion, clean removal, and high thermal stability. This B2B landing page is your technical procurement guide: detailed specs, performance breakdown, supplier directory, and product portfolio.
These performance traits align with global testing standards: ASTM D3330 (peel adhesion), ASTM D3759 (tensile strength), ISO 29862 (pressure-sensitive tape specifications).
Use-case: Construction, painting, bundling, labeling
Specs: Natural rubber adhesive, crepe-paper backing, 125–135 µm thickness, ~80°C resistance
Use-case: Spray booths, powder coating, curing ovens
Specs: Heat-stabilized crepe, solvent/hot-melt adhesive, 100–120°C resistance
Use-case: Body shops, collision repair
Specs: High tack, conformable, UV stable, solvent-resistant, sharp edges
Use-case: Professional painting contractors
Specs: Medium tack, clean removal, UV-resistant, suitable for drywall & wood
Standard masking tape (60–80°C) is adequate for general painting. High-temperature masking tape (100–120°C) is required for:
| Feature | Automotive-Grade | Painting-Grade |
|---|---|---|
| Tack Level | High | Medium |
| Adhesive Chemistry | Solvent-based / Hot-melt | Natural rubber |
| Thermal Stability | 100–120°C | Up to ~80°C |
| Edge Control | Crisp paint lines | Standard finish |
Tack Level: Indicates initial stickiness; higher for automotive use. Adhesion Strength: ~3 N/25mm (general) to ~5 N/25mm (automotive) — ASTM D3330. Tensile Strength: ~28–38 N/25mm — ASTM D3759.
Widths: 12 / 18 / 24 / 36 / 48 / 72 mm
Lengths: 20 m, 25 m, 30 m, 50 m
Thickness: 120–150 microns
Temperature Rating: 60°C–120°C
Retail: AED 1.20 – 3.00 per roll
Wholesale: AED 0.80 – 1.50 per roll
MOQ: 144–288 rolls per carton
Automotive refinishing requires high-tack, solvent-resistant, and heat-resistant masking tape rated for 100–120°C to create sharp paint edges and resist chemicals during spray operations.
Standard masking tape handles 60–80°C, while high-temperature tape withstands 100–120°C. High-heat grades prevent lifting, adhesive softening, or residue during curing or baking cycles.
Yes, but only low-tack masking tape designed for delicate surfaces should be used to avoid paint tearing or surface damage.
Standard widths: 12 / 18 / 24 / 36 / 48 / 72 mm Roll lengths: 20–50 meters
Premium tapes with natural rubber or solvent-based adhesive ensure clean removal. Residue occurs mainly when low-grade tape is used or tape is exposed to heat beyond its rating.
Use high-temperature polyester-backed tape for powder coating—ordinary masking tape cannot handle extreme curing temperatures.
Retail: AED 1.20–3.00 Wholesale: AED 0.80–1.50 per roll Costs vary by width, adhesive chemistry, and heat rating.
Indoor tapes: 24–48 hours UV-resistant outdoor tapes: up to 7 days Automotive heat-tolerant tapes should be removed immediately after curing.
Standard masking tape is not waterproof. For moisture-heavy or HVAC applications, use moisture-resistant masking tape or aluminum foil tape.
• Natural Rubber – Best for painting and construction
• Solvent-Based Rubber – Best for high-temperature & automotive refinishing
• Hot-Melt Adhesive – Ideal for rough surfaces requiring high tack
