Collection: High-Temperature Masking Tape

For industrial applications that demand extreme resilience, standard tapes simply won't suffice. MCPack offers premium high-temperature masking tape engineered to perform under the demanding conditions of powder coating, anodizing, and automotive baking. Our high temperature polyester masking tape (commonly known as Green Tape) features a silicone adhesive that maintains a secure bond throughout heat cycles and removes cleanly without residue — making it the preferred choice for professionals across Australia.

Why Choose MCPack's High-Temperature Masking Tape?

Designed for precision, durability, and clean finishes, our masking tapes deliver consistent performance in high-heat industrial environments:

  • Extreme Heat Resistance: Withstands curing and baking cycles up to 200°C–220°C (approx. 400°F–428°F).
  • Clean, One-Piece Removal: Silicone adhesive prevents snapping, residue, or adhesive transfer after heat exposure.
  • Chemical & Abrasion Resistance: Suitable for anodizing, plating, and aggressive powder coating environments.
  • Sharp Masking Lines: Strong yet thin polyester (PET) backing ensures crisp edges and prevents paint bleed.
  • Industrial Versatility: Ideal for powder coating, e-coating, plating, electronics, and 3D printing applications.
  • Available Sizes & Bulk Options: Stocked in 18mm, 24mm, 36mm, and 48mm widths (50m rolls), with Bulk Packs available for high-volume industrial use.

Common Industrial Applications

Industry / Application Usage Description Why Use High Temp Polyester Tape?
Powder Coating Masking threads, mating surfaces, and grounding points prior to curing. Survives oven temperatures and peels off cleanly without damaging the cured coating.
Automotive Spray Painting Masking components during low-bake and high-bake paint cycles. Resists solvents and prevents paint bleed under thermal stress.
Sublimation & Electronics Securing transfer paper or masking PCB gold fingers during wave soldering. Masking tape high temperature properties protect sensitive components from heat exposure.
Anodizing & Plating Protecting selected areas from chemical baths. Excellent chemical resistance prevents adhesive breakdown.

High Temperature Polyester Tape vs. General Purpose Masking Tape

Choosing the correct tape is critical. While general-purpose crepe masking tape performs well at room temperature, it will burn, crack, or leave baked-on residue in curing ovens. MCPack’s high temperature polyester masking tape is purpose-built with a PET backing and silicone adhesive to withstand thermal shock and harsh industrial conditions.

Technical Specifications

Below are the typical specifications for our standard green high-temperature masking tape:

  • Backing Material: Polyester (PET) Film
  • Adhesive Type: Silicone Pressure Sensitive Adhesive
  • Total Thickness: Approximately 0.06mm – 0.08mm
  • Temperature Rating: Up to 220°C (428°F) for 30 minutes
  • Flexibility: Conforms easily to irregular shapes without lifting

Pro Tips for Powder Coaters

  1. Surface Preparation: Ensure surfaces are free of oil, grease, and contaminants before application.
  2. Apply Firm Pressure: Silicone adhesive requires pressure to fully seal against paint ingress.
  3. Optimal Removal: For best results, remove tape while the part is warm or slightly cooled.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Is this a high temperature tape rated for 1000 degrees?

This is a common misconception. While some exhaust or fiberglass tapes are rated as high temperature tape 1000 degrees (°F), polyester masking tape is designed specifically for masking and baking applications up to 220°C (428°F). It is not intended for direct flame or exhaust manifold use.

Can this tape be used for sublimation printing?

Yes. It is widely used in sublimation and heat press applications to secure transfer paper without leaving marks or adhesive residue.
