What is Kip Painter's Tape Kip Washi-Tec - 309 Purple used for?
The Kip Masking Tape Purple 309 is specifically designed for wallpaper and paper. These surfaces are fragile and require extra care when masking. The tape offers a safe and effective solution to protect surfaces without leaving damage. Use this tape on wallpaper, paper, freshly painted areas, and dry painted surfaces to create precise lines and ensure the finish is flawless.
How long can I leave the tape on?
The Kip Masking Tape Purple 309 is designed to stay on a surface for up to 2 months without leaving adhesive residue. While the tape can theoretically remain in place without issue during this time, it is recommended to remove it as soon as possible after painting for the best results. This minimises the risk of edge build-up and ensures a perfect finish for your project. Always ensure the paint is fully dry before removing the tape to avoid damage to freshly painted surfaces.
Where does Kip Painter's Tape come from?
Kip® GmbH has evolved over the past fifty years into a leading producer of high-quality tapes, known for its innovation and quality. A major turning point occurred in 2000 when Kip GmbH merged with Shurtape® Technologies LLC. This merger resulted from a successful long-standing partnership. By becoming a fully owned subsidiary of the global tape market leader, Kip's capabilities in research, development, and production were significantly expanded. Shurtape® Technologies LLC, with its extensive network in the United States, Canada, the United Kingdom, Germany, Mexico, Peru, the UAE, and China, strengthens its position as a market leader. This global coverage allows the joint entity to serve various markets, including industry, plastering, aerospace, and the medical sector. With this synergy, Kip and Shurtape offer versatile, innovation-driven tape solutions, meeting the highest quality standards for numerous industries.
What temperatures can it withstand?
The Kip Masking Tape Purple 309 is designed to perform under various conditions, including exposure to heat. This tape can withstand temperatures up to 60 degrees Celsius without losing adhesive strength or compromising its durability. This makes it versatile for use in different projects where heat may be a consideration—for instance, in sunny rooms or near heat sources. Retaining adhesive strength at higher temperatures helps create sharp edges and prevents unwanted paint bleeding, ensuring a precise finish.
UV Resistant
While the Kip Masking Tape Purple 309 offers excellent properties for indoor use, it is important to note that this tape is not suitable for outdoor applications. It lacks the UV resistance needed to perform under direct sunlight and weather exposure, which may reduce its adhesive strength and potentially damage the protected surface. Therefore, this tape should be used exclusively indoors on surfaces shielded from the elements, ensuring the durability and effectiveness of your project.
