Viadon's VRPT red plating tape is a great option for plating masking.
It cuts easily, adheres quickly and removes cleanly.
It's flexible and has a thick, heat & chemically resistant silicone adhesive that provides superior stop off at the tape edges.
For best results, be sure to use some firm pressure when applying the tape - it is pressure sensitive, meaning that pressure activates the adhesive.
And, give it a bit of time to "flow" into the substrate's microscopic crevices - a few hours, at least.
Made in the USA
Additionally, this VRPT series tape is cut above most competitor's tapes, because it is American-Made .
The same-day trip from manufacturer to our dock ensures fresh, USA-quality tape that will last up to 12 months without degrading in effectiveness.
Just store on end in a cool, humidity-controlled location between 60F and 80F for best shelf life.
Custom options at no added cost
And with Viadon, you are not limited to a handful of tape widths.
Yes, we slit tape to standard widths of 1/2", 3/4", 1" and 2".
We can also set our digitally-controlled tape slitter to cut nearly any width of tape you need - even a single roll - at NO additional charge. 1.60"? Sure. 2.320"? Fine! 3.89"? Got it. Just meet our $50 minimum order.
Plus, most orders we get are shipped same-day.
Beyond red plating tape
Viadon also die cuts powder coating tape disks to size, and offers custom-shapes die cutting and we have lined green polyester tape if you have your own plotter/cutter to make one-off or low quantities of custom shapes as well.
Note that the VRPT red plating tape can be rotary die cut by us internally, though adding it to a liner for plotter/cutting is not an option (it's too thin for the plotter to cut well).
