| Tips for the Removal of Adhesive Tapes |
To achieve precise paint edges, the adhesive tape should be removed at constant speed away from the paint edge directly after paint drying if the tape is quite difficult to remove due to long-term outdoor adhesion, we recommend to peel of the tape slowly, if necessary, by changing the peel off angle. If the tape is removed at temperatures below + 5 °C, substrates, e.g. those made of film, are likely to be brittle. The removal of the tape is noisy. Furthermore, the tape could leave adhesive residues on the surfaces which have to be removed which is cost and time intensive. If the tape has been incorrectly applied, the tape can not always be easily removed e.g. if the application of products for indoor use have been used for outdoor application where the tape has been exposed to UV-light and weathering.
This can lead to problems during the removal process such as adhesive residues or damage to the substrate. Werecommend you follow the stapes listed in the below mentioned charts. Solvents or solvent mixtures can swell the adhesive mass, but not remove it. It is advisable to soak the adhesive mass well and afterwards remove with a plastic-squeegee. Smaller residues should be rubbed off with a solvent soaked cloth. In any case we recommend to test this on an unobstrusive place to avoid damage of the srface. Considering the various types of applications, these are recommendations only. Do not forget to ensure adequate ventilation during painting and if necessary, please use dust mask with A-filter. Please always pay attention to the warnings and recommendations given by the respective manufacturers.
