Whether you're protecting your wood trim, painted walls, tile floor, or glass windows, this versatile multi-surface tape can stay on surfaces for up to 14 days and then removes easily without leaving any sticky residue behind.

Made from 45 percent renewable resources with a core made from 70 percent post-consumer waste, this solvent-free tape is made in a zero-landfill site certified for energy management to provide you with a sustainable painting product. The application is simple.

Aside from the painter's tape name easily giving away its specialty, both masking tape and painter's tape are made with a crepe paper backing, have similar weights and, in a pinch, can be used for the same jobs. In fact, they're technically from the same family - all painter's tapes are masking tapes.

Masking tape, also known as painter's tape, is a type of pressure-sensitive tape made of a thin and easy-to-tear paper, and an easily released pressure-sensitive adhesive. It is available in a variety of widths. It is used mainly in painting, to mask off areas that should not be painted.

Blue tape is significantly more resistant to both UV rays and heat. This is most important to keep in mind when you're masking the outside of a home on bright summer days. Roofs especially can get extremely hot depending on your climate. Again, if your tape fails, you'll be wasting both time and money.

Adhesive tapes are designed to be strong and durable, so you can rely on them to hold up your packaging or labels. Additionally, adhesive tapes can resist tearing and moisture, making them ideal for use in a variety of environments. Strength is just one of the many features that make adhesive tapes so popular.

Since 1925 we have been experimenting, innovating, and inventing solutions to everyday problems, but it all started with tape. Whether you're mounting, moving, mending, storing or decorating, we've got a tape uniquely designed to help you stick two and two together.

This makes the molecule as a whole act. Like a tiny magnet. And the adhesive.

Masking tape is made of two layers: A thin saturated crepe paper backing, that is thin enough to be torn by hand (so that no cutting tool is required). An adhesive that can be solvent free, hot melt or acrylic based, depending on the level of adhesion required.

Painter's tape is made specifically to be used with paint and formulated to keep the liquid from seeping through. You'll have clean lines every time. General-purpose masking tapes might not deliver the same results - and you're better safe than sorry.

There's really no competition here: painter's tape is the clear choice for painting projects. It's the best way to protect your surfaces and ensure clean, clear lines. This ability to safely apply and remove without damaging the wall or surface is what makes painter's tape the best choice for paint projects.

Yet, tapes have many advantages that make them still popular among users, especially for tape backup.

• High Capacity. Large capacity is the most advanced feature of tapes.
• Low Cost. Low price is the second advantage of magnetic tape drives.
• Long Lifespan.
• Portable.
• Secure.

Blue (painters tape) is meant to guide the process but not get in the way. Just protecting what is necessary but leaving the rest of the wall as a canvas.
