Paint masking tape 4304

for large areasfor automotive applicationshigh temperature-resistant

Short description
tesa® 4304 is a brown, smooth crepe paper masking tape with natural rubber adhesive, suitable for oven-drying paint processes up to 163°C (325°F).

Product description
tesa® 4304 combines a slightly-creped paper backing with a natural rubber adhesive designed for demanding paint-masking applications. The tape offers reliable adhesion on metal, glass, rubber and many plastics while enabling clean removal after multiple drying cycles.

Benefits

• Low and consistent unwind forces for easy handling
• Recommended for multiple oven-drying cycles
• Temperature resistance across a wide range (15°C to 163°C / 59°F to 325°F) with residue-free removal
• Good adhesion of solvent- and water-borne paints and fillers to the backing
• Secure fixation of large-area masks without lifting

Product Features

• Slightly-creped paper backing with excellent conformability and finger-friendly feel
• Natural rubber adhesive for high initial tack on diverse substrates
• High temperature resistance up to 163°C (325°F)
• Hand-tearable for faster on-site application

Application fields
Masking for spray painting and coating processes with oven drying up to 163°C (325°F), commonly used in automotive and industrial painting operations.
