High temperature masking tape, as the name implies, is a masking tape that can be used in high temperature environments. It is a special tape that is used more frequently. It is usually used for fixing and shielding high temperature places such as automotive spray painting, baking paint, leather processing, coating masking, electronic parts manufacturing, and printed circuit boards.
This high temperature masking tape is made of special substrate and glue. The production process is more complicated than that of ordinary masking tape, so the production cost is much higher than that of ordinary masking tape. Therefore, some bad manufacturers use ordinary substrates or glue to replace the substrates or glue used to make high temperature masking tape in order to save production costs. This greatly reduces the temperature resistance of the product. Since most of the two masking tapes do not show any difference in appearance, it is difficult for consumers to detect it. Of course, there are also a few sealing manufacturers who will make some color differences between ordinary masking tape and high temperature masking tape.
In order to avoid the situation where two masking tapes have the same color, here is a simple identification method - just put the non-glue side of the masking tape on a lighter for 3 to 5 seconds, then touch it with your hand. If it is ordinary masking tape, there will be glue sticking to your hand, but this will not happen with high-temperature masking tape. However, be careful when identifying.
