Aircraft Corrosion Inhibitor
PSA Tape offers a full series of vinyl and polyurethane corrosion
inhibiting moisture seal tapes.These products are designed to function
as a floor seal. They are recommended for use over sealant & floor
joints in aircraft wet areas (galleys, doorways, and lavatories).
Aircraft Fine line Masking
PSA Tapes are available for aircraft fine line masking tape provides a
fine mask-off line on straight and curved compound surfaces with no
tearing or buckling. The conformable polyolefin tape backing combines
exceptional conformability with solvent and chemical resistance.

Automobile Tapes.
Automotive Fine line Masking
PSA Tapes are available for line of vinyl fine line masking tapes provide
a fine mask-off on curved, compound surfaces with no tearing or
buckling. Custom blended rubber based P.S.A.'s offer clean removability
from virgin, primed or painted metal and fascia (TPO & RIM). They are
designed to eliminate most transfer of adhesive or ghosting after
exposure to standard O.E.M. bake cycles.
Bond Breaker
PSA tape provides a simple inexpensive solution to sealant failure due to 3-
way adhesion. The polyethylene film backed tape is suitable for sealing new,
shallow, and metal butt-joints. It is easy and compatible with most cold
sealants.
Sound Dampening
PSA's based on polyurethane film tapes combine excellent sound dampening
insulation with exceptional abrasion protection and conformability. Both
products are heat-sealable, thermoformable and die-cuttable for ease of
fabrication.

process
Positioning Allows the plate to be precisely set and repositioned if necessary.
Removal Removal of the plate from the tape without damage, then the tape from the
cylinder. This means faster mounting and removal, without the use of
solvents, faster running speeds and a closer control of solids, line and dots.
