    High Temperature Masking Liquid

    What is masking liquid?

    Masking liquid, also called liquid masking tape or peelable maskant, is a liquid applied by brush, dip or spray that dries into a protective film. It shields areas that must stay uncoated during painting, powder coating, plating or blasting, and suits complex shapes where tape is hard to apply. The film is peeled off after processing.

    • Sun Brand liquid masking line offers peel-able coating that provides temporary protection or long-term preservation of floor, walls & ceilings in paint booths.
    • Apply liquid by spraying, paint roller or brush and leave it to dry.
    • Can be simply peeled off when not required without any damage to substrate surface.
    • Liquid Masking is available in different variants namely:

                  – High Temperature Liquid Masking.               – Boot Coat Liquid Masking.

    More About Masking Liquid

    What is Masking Liquid?

    Adhesive Specialities India manufactures two types of masking liquid Booth coat masking liquid and High temperature masking liquid.  Masking Liquid – Booth Coat is a temporary transparent covering for the walls, ceiling, floor, and other surfaces of a spray painting booth where accumulated paint overspray may be readily removed. Booth Coat can also be used to prevent flash rusting on steel surfaces and to protect glass, plexiglass, rubber, cement, aluminum, and other hard surfaces. Booth Coat is the pinnacle of non-solvent coatings since it is brittle-resistant and won’t be softened or penetrated by most solvent-based paints. There are no volatile organic compounds in Booth Coat (VOCs). Booth Coat can pose problems if applied incorrectly, but when done correctly, it produces a robust, uniform-thick film with no sagging, shorter application time, and less clean-up. Wherever temporary protective coatings are required, a waterborne transparent peel-able coating can be employed to reduce clean-up issues. Booth Coat can be utilized in spray booths, floors, windows, walls, machinery, and equipment, as well as everywhere there is an issue with paint overspray, clean-up, or emissions. Masking Liquid – High Temperature is a skin-tightening protective film that dries to form a contour-hugging protective film. Customers who understand the importance of preserving substrates during manufacturing, assembly, and shipment recognise and use it. Because the coating is a transient protective layer, adherence is poor. Scratches and abrasions are still best avoided with the robust peel-able coating. It is easily removed off the surface and does not leave any trace behind. It also functions as a paint overspray masking agent. Weather-resistant, scratch-resistant, solvent & overspray-resistant, the Masking Liquid is  High Temperature that provides cost-effective protection during storage, shipping, and installation. It is possible to remove the coating without leaving any residue. 

    Masking Liquid’s uses and properties: 

    • Sun Brand’s liquid masking range features a peel-able layer that protects floors, walls, and ceilings in paint booths for a short time or for a long time. 
    • It’s as easy as spraying, rolling, or brushing this masking adhesive liquid on and waiting for it to dry. 
    • When not in use, the masking liquid can simply be pulled away without causing damage to the substrate surface. 
    • Liquid Masking is available in two types at Adhesive Specialties: 

    – High Temperature Liquid Masking  – Liquid Masking Booth Coat

    Frequently asked questions

    What is liquid masking tape?

    Liquid masking tape is another name for masking liquid: a coating that dries into a peelable film to protect surfaces during finishing processes.

    When should I use masking liquid instead of masking tape?

    Masking liquid suits irregular shapes, threads, holes and small features where cutting and placing tape is slow. Masking tape is faster on flat surfaces and straight edges.

    How is masking liquid removed?

    Once the coating or plating step is complete, the dried film is lifted at an edge and peeled away. Residue behaviour depends on the process conditions.

    Is industrial masking liquid the same as art masking fluid?

    Both form a removable film, but art masking fluid is made for paper and watercolour. Industrial masking liquid is formulated for coating, plating and blasting processes.

    Is masking liquid heat resistant?

    Masking liquid is available in a high temperature variant and a booth coat variant. Heat resistance depends on the variant, so check the datasheet for the rating or contact our team before choosing.

    How do I apply masking liquid?

    Apply masking liquid by spraying, with a paint roller or with a brush, and leave it to dry. It can be peeled off when it is no longer needed.

  • BOPP Tape for Carton Sealing and Packaging

    BOPP Tape for Carton Sealing and Packaging

    What is BOPP tape?

    BOPP tape is a packaging tape made from biaxially oriented polypropylene film coated with a pressure-sensitive adhesive, usually acrylic or natural rubber. BOPP stands for biaxially oriented polypropylene: the film is stretched in two directions, which makes it thin, strong and moisture resistant. It is commonly used for carton sealing.

    BOPP tape is the standard tape for high-speed carton sealing, valued because it is strong, clear and economical. Made from biaxially oriented polypropylene film coated with adhesive, it runs well on automatic case sealers and hand dispensers alike. This makes it the default choice for general packing and high-volume dispatch. As an ISO 9001:2015 certified adhesive tape manufacturer in India, Adhesive Specialities supplies BOPP tape across the country for packaging and sealing operations of every scale.

    • Strong, clear film for reliable high-speed carton sealing
    • Runs on automatic case sealers and hand dispensers
    • Economical choice for general packing and high-volume dispatch
    • Available in clear and coloured options for coding and branding
    • Suited to printing, packaging, logistics and warehousing
    • Manufactured and supplied pan-India under ISO 9001:2015 certification

    Frequently asked questions

    What is the full form of BOPP?

    BOPP stands for biaxially oriented polypropylene. The polypropylene film is stretched in both the machine and cross directions during manufacture, which increases its tensile strength and clarity.

    What is BOPP tape used for?

    BOPP tape is mainly used to seal corrugated cartons in packaging, warehousing, e-commerce and export shipments. Printed versions are also used for branding and tamper indication.

    What is the difference between acrylic and rubber-based BOPP tape?

    Acrylic adhesive BOPP tape resists ageing and UV and suits long storage. Natural rubber adhesive gives faster initial tack and grips recycled or dusty cartons well. Confirm temperature ranges with the datasheet.

    Is BOPP tape the same as cellophane tape?

    No. BOPP tape uses a polypropylene film, while cellophane or cellulose tape uses a film made from regenerated cellulose. Cellulose tape can be torn by hand; BOPP is stronger and more moisture resistant.

    BOPP tape or paper tape: which is better for cartons?

    BOPP tape is quick to apply and moisture resistant. Gummed paper tape bonds into the carton fibres and shows tampering clearly. The choice depends on carton weight, recycling goals and dispensing equipment.

    Is BOPP tape available in brown and printed versions?

    Yes. BOPP tape is available in brown and printed versions. Common colour options include brown, transparent and white, with custom printed options available based on requirements.

    What thickness of BOPP tape is used for cartons?

    For carton sealing, BOPP tape typically comes in thicknesses of around 40 to 50 microns, depending on carton weight and application.
