Industry Applications

Designed to withstand demanding site and shop conditions, Dewpoint Industries masking tapes are engineered for specialized applications across key sectors. In construction surface masking and automotive painting, our tapes deliver clean, razor-sharp paint lines without adhesive bleed. For high-heat environments such as powder coating, our heat-tolerant paper backings ensure reliable performance and clean removal. They also integrate seamlessly with broad site protection protocols—such as securing Protective Board on sensitive floors or pairing with temporary Protection Film Aluminium Protection during installation and transport.

Masking Tape FAQ’s

What is the difference between General Purpose Masking Tape and Washi/Blue UV Tapes?
Choosing the right tape depends on whether your surface is powder-coated, textured, or natural anodised:

  • General Purpose Masking Tape (White/Orange): Ideal for general paint masking, temporary fixing, labelling, and short-term internal surface protection. It has no UV rating and is designed for quick, indoor applications.
  • 14-Day UV Blue Masking Tape: Formulated with a water-resistant backing and enhanced adhesive for clean removal up to 14 days in direct sunlight. Perfect for outdoor painting and glass/frame protection.
  • Washi Masking Tape (Blue/Orange Coated): Made with ultra-thin, Japanese flatback paper, offering high water resistance and high heat tolerance (100°C–110°C). It delivers crisp, razor-sharp paint lines without paint bleed.
How long can these tapes be left outside without leaving sticky residue?
Outdoor UV exposure limits vary depending on the tape’s adhesive chemistry and film thickness:

  • Yellow Aluminium Protection Tape: Up to 30 days outdoor exposure.
  • Xtra High Tack Tape: Up to 3 months outdoor exposure.
  • Premium Blue, Light Grey & Premium White Tapes: Up to 6 months outdoor exposure.
  • Premium Black PVC Protection Tape: Up to 12 months maximum outdoor protection.
  • All our protection tapes are formulated to peel clean without leaving adhesive residue or tearing into small fragments when removed within their specified UV exposure timeframe.
Can Dewpoint Masking Tapes be used outdoors under direct sunlight?
Yes, but you should select our 14-Day UV rated tapes (such as our Blue Masking Tape or Orange Washi Tape). These grades feature specialized UV-resistant adhesives that prevent baked-on residue and resist drying out in direct sunlight for up to 14 days. Standard General Purpose masking tape is meant for indoor use only.
What temperature range can these masking tapes withstand?
Our specialized Washi and UV masking tapes feature high heat resistance for demanding application environments:

  • Blue 14-Day Masking Tape: Heat resistant up to 100°C.
  • Orange Washi Masking Tape: Heat resistant up to 110°C.
  • General Purpose Masking Tape: Heat resistant up to 80°C.
What roll widths and lengths are available for commercial bulk orders?
We offer a comprehensive range of standard sizes to suit light touch-ups to large-scale site protection:

  • Widths: 18mm, 24mm, 36mm, 48mm, and 72mm.
  • Standard Roll Lengths: 40 meters.
